Postpartum Bleeding & Concerns: What To Do When Bleeding Persists

Question
I HAD MY DAUGHTER SEPTEMBER 7TH. I HAD HEAVY BLEEDING FOR THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. IT GOT LIGHTER FOR ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO. I HAD UNPROTECTED SEX AT THIS TIME. THEN MY BLEEDING GOT HEAVY AGAIN, AND I ASSUMED IT WAS MY PERIOD. AND NOW IT HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS SINCE I HAD MY DAUGHTER AND I AM STILL BLEEDING. IT IS A BROWNISH COLOR NOW. I ALSO FEEL SOME SORT OF KNOT OF SOME SORT INSIDE MY STOMACHE. I AM WORRIED THAT I COULD BE PREGNANT. I TOOK AN AT HOME TEST. IT CAME OUT NEGGATIVE. BUT I AM STILL WORRIED. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME COME TO A CONCLUSION ABOUT MY PROBLEM?

Answer
Kirstie,
You really shouldn't have intercourse for the first SIX weeks postpartum. You are also very fertile after giving birth and should have used some sort of birth control. I can't tell you whether you are pregnant, but if the tests are coming back, negative, then my guess would be you are not. If however, you feel you are, go see your OB doctor. Good luck to you!
