Excessive bleeding 16 weeks pp/breastfeeding

Stephanie

I've posted about this before but it's gotten worse, here's an update:

I am exclusively breastfeeding and am 16 weeks postpartum. I had a relatively normal period last month but this month..

I started bleeding on the 3rd of this month, it started off very off and on like spotting. I saw the doctor on day 9, had blood work done, ect. By day 10, it got REALLY heavy, I was having to change every 30-45 minutes and this heavy bleeding went on for 4 days. By Day 11, my doctor prescribed me birth control to stop the bleeding. The bleeding finally stopped by Day 17-18. I went 5 days with no bleeding. Then it started again. The first day it was spotty, then the next day a full on period. How is this normal? I have no answers. All of my blood work came back normal- hormones and CBC's, ect.

So at this point, I've had my period 20/31 days this month...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??

Is anyone else going through this? I feel so alone and lost and just want answers!
