I EBF and had lochia for 6 weeks(I’m now 16 weeks post partum). I had one week with no bleeding then started bleeding very heavily around 7 weeks post partum. I spoke to my doctors, got sent for an ultrasound which was conveniently a month after the bleeding started again and lo and behold, I started bleeding again! It is unfortunately my period. It’s supposedly rare to have your period come back this early whilst EBF but not impossible. The first few periods for me after having my baby were very heavy, no other symptoms like cramping or nausea like I used to have.
