Hi!
First let me congratulate you on the birth of your son! Secondly, if you were my patient, I think at this point I would do two things. The first is to prescribe 14 days of antibiotics for you. The second is to prescribe birth control pills, two per day until the bleeding stops. Once it stops, I would put your dosage back down to one pill per day to finish the pack. I would also do an ultrasound just to be certain that nothing is amiss with your uterus. I think your prognosis for the future is excellent. Keep taking your iron too.
Good luck!
Dr B
Thank you! Might I ask what the antibiotics are for?
Did you have a c-section with your baby? I had a simalar thing happen with me after my 2nd child. I was on the mini pill but just bled continiously black stuff, wasn't nice. As soon as i stopped breast feeding my body regulated again. I think sometimes after birth your body almost gets confused sometimes and doesnt know whats going on. It cant be nice at all I would try and find a better doctor if you are able to.
I did have a c section. The bleeding has always been bright red.
