I had my second baby 14 weeks ago. Always had regular periods 28 days apart lasting 5/6 days - only ever late twice - both pregnancies. After my first child period returned after 4 weeks (even though I was breastfeeding) and came every 28 days after that. This time lochia stopped after two weeks then I had a period after 3 weeks (again still breastfeeding). My next period was 9 weeks after that and I've been on my period now for 18 days whilst I have been taking the pill, it's not particularly heavy just like a normal period but shows no sign of stopping. Stopped breastfeeding after 6 weeks and been taking pill for 4 weeks. I have continued with next pack rather than taking 7 day break thinking that may stop bleeding but it hasn't. Went to doctor yesterday he didn't seem too concerned saying it was probably postnatal hormones, but took some blood samples. Is this normal? Both babies were c-sections so little danger of retained products etc. I'm 27, healthy and athletic.

This doesn't sound normal to me but that's good the doctor is doing some bloodwork to check to make sure things are ok.
