Hi all - had my 3rd c section about 3 weeks ago. This was my third in 3.5 years. In the last week, on two different days I went from not bleeding for days to bleeding heavily (no clots). I thought the first was maybe due to overdoing it. I almost bled through a postpartum diaper in an hour. The second randomly started on a morning where I was very inactive. I bled through my panty liner, soaked my underwear and shorts, the sheet, and onto the couch. I then had a steady stream into the toilet before it calmed. Still currently bleeding a deep red color but has since slowed. I have mild uterine cramping like menstrual like and a very very tender abdomen up to my belly button. No fever or clots really (a few about a pea size).

This has never happened with my others. I know it’s my third and healing is slower but I don’t know about the levels of bleeding. Does this sound like retained product? Anyone have a similar experience to this??

Hi All - I started my fishless tank cycle and want to make sure I have this right. I bought Dr. Tim’s Ammonium Chloride and turbostart 700. I added the ammonium yesterday and then the turbostart today after I got it. The fish store said not to add ammonia and just do the turbostart at a doubled dose tonight, test it in 2 days and if ammonia nitrate and nitrite are 0, then it’s clycled and ready for a fish.

I’m just very confused because everything I’ve read says that it needs ammonia? Should I add it? If so how often do I add it and the turbostart/what should water testing schedules be? Is the tank really good to go in a few days? Any advice is appreciated.
