Odd Bleeding weeks 4 and 5

Today is 5 weeks for me! I started working 1/2 days M-today. Tomorrow is my first full day. I am a little nervous because I have been so tired. I guess eventually I will get all of my energy back, right?!

Anyway, my biggest concern has been my bleeding. Last Monday I started bleeding (bright red) for no real reason. Callled the dr. They said to just sit and take it easy. It tapered to dark brown spotting by the next day, but never really ended according to me. Of course when I went in for my 4wk check the dr. didn't see any. This Monday it all started again and it has been pretty much the same as last week.

Has anyone experienced this? Any reasons why it may be happening? Dr of course didn't see it so says it wasn't really happening. Isn't that always the way it is!!

It could be your stitches dissolving at this time especially if it is bright red blood. If you start bleeding to the point of filing a pad in one hour, please head to the ER asap. Otherwise, keep your doctor up to date on how much you are bleeding so he or she can keep an eye on you. You might even want to schedule an office visit to ease your mind.
