Weird period after baby, please help!?!


Question: I had a baby 8 weeks+ ago via c-section. I also had a tubal ligation (snip, tie, burn!) right after they took my son out. I only bled for about a week afterwards, which was great since I expected it to last longer. So I had a period from March 16th till March 26th (10 days, I know!!!! Awfull) but on top of the long period, it was extremely heavy, and I mean like something I've never experienced before. So, my period ended like I said on the 26th of March, but on April 8th, only 12 days afterwards, I saw some spotting, and I've been spotting ever since. What the heck is going on? I've had two children via c-section prior to this one, and I went on birth controll so my periods were weird because of that, but nothing like this. I've been trying to research this online, and all my sources tell me that there's no significant evidence of a tubal ligation causing such long, heavy, irregular periods. HELP!

Hi, I had a tubal ligation after my second child, also by c-section, and bled alot after- words. I think heavy bleeding can be normal after having a baby anyways. Then about a month later I started to bleed constantly. Like every 2 weeks I would get my period. My OBGYN put my on birth control pills to try and regulate.When that didn't help he put me on some kind of hormone medication to stop my period from coming to see if would help the ovaries work like they are supposed to.(which did work) If that didn't work he was going to do a D&C. I really took a long time to straigten out though. Is there any way to see an GYN? You dont want to deal with that for to long. Maybe you can look up some info about the ovaries not working right instead of the ligation causing the bleeding. Hope it helps!

I don't know about the irregularities, but long heavy periods can be common after tubal ligations. I know several women who had them and had the same problem. My step-mom went from short light periods to 10 days of hell each month after her tubal. The irregularities may just be your body trying to adjust.

You should probably contact your doctor about this. This is why they get paid the big bucks, right?
