I would think that if you had retained products and were now showing some signs of infection, that you would experiencing some uterine tenderness, smelly discharge etc.

After I had DS, for my first two periods after his birth I had extremely heavy periods. I went to the ED both cycles worrying that I had RP also but was sent away both times. On my 3rd cycle, I passed a large piece of placenta.

Due to the nature of Reid's premature labour and birth, I was given a truck load of IV antibiotics. I think that because I had recieved such a strict course of antibiotic therapy, I didn't develop an infection from the retained placenta.

So in saying all that, the antiobiotics you've had for the Mastitis could have covered you if you do have any retained products.

I hope that all makes sense! LOL!

Do you have any other symptoms other than fever symptoms?
