A member asked:
Still bleeding heavy lochia 6 wk pp from csection. lochia stopped at 2 wks, started back up again. started mini pill at 4 weeks. what could cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The mini-pill: The mini-pill is a progesterone only method of contraception. Progesterones are used in birth control pills for contraception. The estrogen is added for cycle control. Since your pill does not have estrogen you do not get good cycle control but do get contraception. There are many reasons to choose a progesterone only pill. The most common one is breast feeding. Discuss this with your doctor.
