Do follicles normally appear on a woman's ovaries shortly after giving birth (7 weeks PP in this case) WITHOUT it indicating a cycle returning? A had a pelvic ultrasound to diagnose RPOC at 7 weeks PP and it was noted that I had a high number of follicles on my left ovary. That was 20 days ago. I had been bleeding on and off light/medium with the RPOC, but then it stopped for 4-5 days and I thought it was finally over. Yesterday I started bleeding at a medium/heavy flow. I have light cramps, and looking back over the last week, have been more emotional, craving sweets and chocolate, more tired. So is it possible to have many follicles on an ovary after childbirth without it meaning imminent ovulation? I'm so confused as to whether this is AF, or if it's just a continuation of my PP bleeding and perhaps I haven't passed all the product. Either way I'm back to the GP next week because at 10 weeks post partum I'm sick of bleeding.
