11-11-2010 - what in the world is this?

My mood while writing this blog: confused

---

So I had my first pp period, or so I thought, last week. It ended this past saturday. Monday I went in to the doc and got my 6 week checkup. I told her that I had my period and she seemed suprised. When I was bleeding, it was ALOT, way more than my normal periods, and it lasted for 6 days, got lighter and went away. Since then, sometimes when I wipe after using the bathroom the tp will be red, and if I wipe again, maybe just a little blood, and then none. The next time I use the bathroom, no blood. Its not alot, just enough to make the square of toilet paper bright red. This might happen 1-2 times a day and has been going on for 3 weeks. I just thought it was my period starting up, and then I had what I thought my period was, and now im still spotting. Dh and I started having sex 4 weeks after Anna was born.We used condoms. I wont even let him near me without one, lol. I tore my labia so minorly during birth, that it didnt even need a stitch, and it healed quickly (though it doesnt look the same :( At my appointment the doctor swabbed me and I thought maybe that is why im spotting, but it isnt going away. I also have these weird feelings. Its almost like a hot flash, or morning sickness, but I know im not pregnant again. It lasts for a minute of so, then goes away. What the heck is going on? Am I coming down with the flu, or what? I am so confused! I know I should call my doctor, but I dont know how to explain this all to her, without sounding like a space case. She said my uterus is back to where it should be, so thats good. Any help would be appreciated!

It probably is just your cycle trying to right itself. It took me a solid year to get back to "normal" lol... What ever that is. At least I feel better. I would also do, something like what you are doing. I had spotting everytime I went to the bathroom for some time after. To make your self feel better though you may want to take a test. Then just relax and let your body heal. :)

I say rule out a pregnancy first and then keep looking for answers.

have you taken a pg test just to rule it out? We were using condoms when I got preg with Talia. It also could be an infection or even no reason, just your 1st pp period. Every pp period for me was different. I would take a test and if its neg I would call your doc and just explain it to them. I promise you wont sound like a space case

I would call the doc. It could just be your cycle trying to get back to normal, but it doesn't hurt to follow up if you are concerned.
