Should get checked: 3 months is a bit long after the pregnancy to be irregularly bleeding from pregnancy itself but periods should not be irregular (unless periods were irregular before). One should get checked out for things such as retained products of conception as well as non-pregnancy-related causes of irregular bleeding

I was pregnant in 2020. About two weeks back I got back on the 3 month birth control injection. Last week Monday my period came. It was supposed to end on Friday but I am still bleeding but not heavy. Is it normal?

Had a baby 11/20. I breastfed since 08/21. Once I stopped, periods are irregular along w/pelvic/back pain. Switched birth control, ultra sound found cyst on cervix. I still bleed 3wks out of 1mo & doc claims it isn't related. It's been 1yr! Thoughts?

I had a 5 day period its normally 6. I started off w/ brown bleeding and the next day it was heavy enough to fill pads. And the next day it stopped. The day after it started back and bleeding was light. Could this be bc of my birth control or stress?
