PP periods 18+ months out

[hausmaus]

DS is 20 months and I'm just going through my first pp period. It's so heavy that I am doubling up on a tampon and pad and changing them every hour. I'm about to go the Depends route to save my underwear and pants from the bloodbath.

I had my period within 12 months with my other two and they were normal.

I'm sorry.

I didn't have a period after DS before I got pregnant with DD, but my post DD periods are awful. Very heavy, crampy, and super tampon/pad worthy. (My period came back around 6 months after she was born.)

I got my first pp period at 18m when I weaned my daughter. It was very heavy but it leveled out the next month. I got pregnant 4 months later, so I can't say how it was long term.

My son is 20 months now, and I still haven't gotten a period. I am simultaneously anxious for it to come back and dreading it.

I'm sorry

Unfortunately it's normal. My first three pp periods were like that, swore I was bleeding to death the first three days. The super plus tampons and a big pad changed a lot.

Now at five pp periods out its better, there is hope. My period came back 6 weeks pp and now at 6 months pp it's pretty normal.

Hang in there, it sucks. I did ask my OB and she said normal

I think it is normal. My PP was super heavy for 1.5 years. Now it is returning to normal the last few cycles.

Normal. Mine suck since having kids.
