BR: First PP Period

It's *supposed* to suck, right?

I know I'm lucky to have avoided it this long (hooray BFing and natural anovulation? LOL) but OMG. It is ridiculously heavy, I'm dizzy and nauseous, and all I want to eat are chicken fingers and french fries.

Re: BR: First PP Period

  • Ick.  Sorry to hear it.


    Thanks to my body's relentless desire to ovulate and NOT BFing I got my first pp period like a few days after I stopped pp bleeding so...yea, it sucked, but in comparison to that mess, not too bad.  LOL. 

  • How often are you changing your pad or tampon more than every 2 hours or so?  How many days have you been bleeding?  I'm just asking because you feel dizzy, I want to make sure you're not losing too much blood.  If you feel dizzy when you stand or feel like you're bleeding a ton, I'd call your gyn and get his/her opinion.

    Hope you feel better!

  • Yes, it sucked. And I'm very jealous that it took you almost a year to get it back... 4 months here and Nolan was nursing every 2 hours around the clock. So unfair. :-P

    Mine got better after a few cycles. Hang in there! 

  • LOL! I got my first PP period when Neena was just about a year too. And, yes, it SUCKED! Get yourself some yummy food and relax.

  • Yep... it sucks royally.  I think I ate 7 donuts in 3 days.

  • I thought so, but just wanted to make sure. I did not miss this, that's for sure!

    Amanda--It's probably about every 2-3 hours, so I don't think it's dangerously excessive. And yesterday was the first day, beyond spotting I had on Saturday. The dizziness is better today, so I think I'm going to be alright. I'll call my OB if things get crazy, though! :)
