Continuous Brown Discharge - going mad!

Hi Ladies,

I’m really hoping someone can advise/relate!

I’m 7 weeks pp after a planned section. Extremely fortunate that the entire process/experience was good. I had heavy Lochia for about 2 days, then it trailed off and turned to brown discharge. Sometimes quite heavy/stringy. (Sorry TMI!!)

It then finally seems to disappear but then when we DTD it started again, and then got into a cycle of it stopped then when we DTD started again. which I assumed was just from aggravation of my cervix maybe? Or just DTD causing more to come out?

I then woke up to fresh blood at 5 weeks, which midwife and health visitor and GP all advised me was my period starting again (bottle feeding from birth) which then lasted around 7 days of red blood and then it started to trail off again and it’s gone back to brown discharge again but now it’s just continuous when I wipe! 😭

Im so fed up of it now, and sick of having it every time I wipe!! I’ve been doing exercise/moving around a lot and I’ve not required a pad for the past few days, it’s just there when I wipe.

the GP suggested going on the mini pill again to sort it out, and I’ve been on that for a week today, so I’m not sure if that’s got anything to do with it.

So my questions are - has anyone else had this? To be this continuous?

has anyone had this from taking the pill post birth?

Sorry for the long post!! Any responses will be much appreciated!
