What should I expect?
Started spotting last week, Friday and Saturday were medium flow. No biggie. Today? I woke at 7am and am on my 3rd Ultra tampon already. Ultra as in bigger than Super Plus. They're not even lasting 2 hours. No cramps or anything. Is this normal??

@LindsayInNY: I am sorry about your loss. Mint was definitely heavier than normal and lasted a day or two longer than normal but then it was over and my cycle was back to its old pattern. Hope yours improves soon!

@LindsayInNY: normal for me, both times. I didn't know there was an ultra sized tampon?! Honestly I forgot about super plus tampons too and was going through super ones hourly at least. If it stays that bad I would call your doc but mine was only that heavy for 1-2 days.

Yes mine were so heavy for a few months and painful. I was wearing the biggest size tampon i could find and a pad and still bleeding on my pants 
but also only about 2 days that heavy each month

@Mrs. Champagne: Yeah. Ultra is more absorbent than super plus. I have to order through Amazon because stores usually don't carry them.

@bhbee: Oh eff that. Seriously?!? I'd almost rather lighter but cramps than this heavy and no cramps.

I’m so sorry for your loss. This sounds like how my first af after mc was. I think it was heavy for 2-3 days and then went back to normal. The following few periods I had more cramps than usual, but they def weren’t as heavy as that first one.
