Hi - I am not a doctor and unfortunately can not share any insight on the numbers. I am writing because I am curious about mother having a period. How old is the baby now? I am reminded of a mother who was surprised to have the return of her period at 6 weeks postpartum but later evidence pointed towards retained placenta. Prior to the bleeding there were milk supply concerns. After her "period" she had a significant increase in milk supply - and no more periods. Good luck with the mystery - I hope there is an answer readily available. Ellen Ellen J.
