Bleeding for 4 weeks...

Hi, I have had a baby 2 and a half months ago and my first period has lasted for 4 weeks so far, it is not as heavy as my usual periods, is this normal? i had the injection about a month ago, could this affect the bleeding and make it last longer?  please help.

my first period lasted the normal anount of time...5 days.

you need to talk to your DOCTOR not a clinic. you need to be seen. constantly bleeding is not right. thats why i told you to see a doctor.

after my friend had a baby she didnt have a period for 6 weeks after, it then lasted 2 weeks and then another gap of 6 weeks, her periods didnt get back to normal until 6 months after she gave birth, she kept going back to the doctors because she was worried and they repeatedly told her that she was fine and after a woman has a baby it takes a while for things to get back to normal and its different for every woman.
plus having the injection is going to contribute.
also after my cousin had an abortion she bled constantly for 8 months, it turned out she had heamophilia, when the blood in your body is too thin,
if your still worried i would just keep going back to the doctors until they do something

I mentioned it to the health visitor at the clinic and she said to see how it goes, that was nearly 2 weeks ago.  how long should the first period after giving birth last?  my friend gave birth two weeks after me and her first period only lasted one week.
