What is this about?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I have no clue what is going on or if this is even related to postpartum/childbirth issues. I guess you would call it spotting--last night I had about a half dollar size spot of blood on my panties when I went to the bathroom and there was a little blood when I wiped. Sorry if this is No more blood after that, but I have been cramping here and there and my lower back is achy. Then this morning, I had the chills and could not get warm. I literally covered up with four blankets and it took me a few hours to stop shivering! I had a fever of 102. Even with Tylenol, it never has gone completely down. It's at about 100 now. I spotted a little more an hour or so ago, and now when I wipe, there's a little pink on the tissue. I am on the pill, on my second week of pills, so it's not time for my period. I am worried it could be childbirth related, even though Travis is 8 weeks old. Any clue?
I know I should call my ob, but honestly, I am afraid they will tell me to come to the hospital to be checked. Kyle can't drive--he had his vasectomy on Friday, MIL loaned her car to BIL and she will NOT drive my van, and I don't know if I feel up to driving. I guess I could, but I'd have to go alone. MIL is sick with the funk we have been passing around for three weeks, so DH has to stay here with the kids. I did try calling my best friend, but she's not home and her cell phone isn't on.
Do y'all just think this is some funky thing that will pass or what?

It might be break through bleeding from starting the pill. This is your first pack right? I had a little bit of that the first month. I don't know about the fever or anything...maybe it's a coincidence.

I hope you feel better though.

You know, I started back on the pill 3 weeks ago (from being on Nuvaring) and I've been spotting this week, which I normally wouldn't do. The fever, though, I'm not sure about that. If the fever is going down and you're feeling better then I would wait until tomorrow before calling anyone, but that's just me.

Well, my fever has fluctuated all day from 100 degrees to 102 degrees and everything in between. I started sweating like crazy about an hour ago, and just took my temperature, and I am happy to report that it is now 98.4. Let's just hope it was some weird thing.
