Lochia can last till about 8 weeks.. it does get lighter then heavier for a few times before it eventually stops. For my first child, my period came after 10 months.. when I stopped BF/pumping
My lochia lasted almost 6 weeks.. first menses after that was 5 mths later..that lochia was irregular tho.. heavy den light den spotting den light again
I pumped mostly during that time.. yeah the lochia had some blood clots too..
