I have been bleeding/spotting constantly since Ben was born. Every so often, I may go a day with nothing, then bleed again. It's been off and on like this the whole time, but I've not yet had my first period.
Then, last Thursday night, we had a condom split so I took the morning after pill Friday. The doctor said that it may induce a period, but didn't say that it would be any different. I checked with her that I would be okay to use my Mooncup on my period rather than the pads I was using, and she said yes.
Well, my blood loss changed yesterday lunchtime to bright red again, so I assumed period was here and inserted my Mooncup.
I used a Mooncup for about 6 periods prior to getting pg, and very rarely had to empty more than 5 ml. I had a bit yesterday, then when I got up in the night with Ben, I had leaked. I thought maybe it was inserted wrong and I had leaked down the side, but when I removed it, it was full to overflowing! That was at 2:30am. Then, up again at 6am and it was full again. So that's over 30ml overnight.
Is this normal, or should I see the doctor? I'm not in any pain, and have no cramps or anything.
