Hi missc4,

I really don't know the answer to your question, as it varies as to when discharge stops for us sisters (or whether we have discharge at all). I didn't have any bleeding, just a very light discharge for a couple of weeks. Your dr. might be able to give you an idea when you have your check up. I think it depends on whether your stitches have dissolved, and the dr. can usually check for that. I know you can't wait to have that pad burning party!!

I know it is a real downer with these pads. I'm 5 weeks and still have need for a mini. I stopped with the spotting at 3 weeks and then started a yellowish discharge since. It is light and no smell, just there. I would hang on to the pads. When the stitches start dissolving you may spot a little blood or pinkish fluid. I did that a couple of days ago. I also found some stitches when I went to pee. Sometimes I've even seen ladies as far along as 8 weeks over do it and spot. We are not even 50 percent healed at 6 weeks. I heard it was more like 6months to a year to heal completely inside. It will get better. Sometimes just a call to the Dr. can alleviate any questions about all these recovery problems. I know they have heard from me these last weeks. They have heard it all. They get paid the big bucks.

Ok,not exzactly what I wonted to hear,LOL.My doc said I may have some spotting or bleeding at two weeks when the sitched disolve,well I'll be three weeks Thursday and I've not done anything really.He said two weeks so I'm like ok it's over two weeks,my hubby says it could be three weeks and I'm like NO he said 2,I just don't wont to see red any more.This has been harder emotionally for me than physically,my hormones got me in to this mess and now the wont work at all,LOL,,, figures.I have a sister thats 13 and she's not started her period yet so I thought I would get all my gear together and make her a period box but I don't wont to jump the gun and get rid of things I may still need..Thanks

I had quite a bit of bleeding for 10 days post from a TAH, and then enough discharge to need pads for a little over a month. I didn't give away my pads until 2-1/2 months post. I still need to pitch my last unfinished BC pill pack. Don't need that collecting dust for nothing. Hee Hee!!! I love it
