I understand you do not want to see a gynecologist right now. That is your choice, but given your symptoms there are some important steps and warning signs to follow. Please read and act on these.

Immediate steps (do these today)

Do a urine pregnancy test now (home test). This changes what is safe and what needs urgent care.
Do not take ibuprofen or other NSAIDs until pregnancy is ruled out. Use paracetamol (acetaminophen) for pain if needed.
If you are taking any medicines (for example Pause‑500 / tranexamic acid, emergency contraception, blood thinners, or anything else), stop any new medicine only after checking with a clinician — and tell me which medicines you have taken so I can advise. Pause‑500 (tranexamic acid) is used to reduce bleeding but should be taken only when advised, and you must inform your doctor if you might be pregnant or have clotting/kidney problems.
Keep a written note of bleeding: number of pads/tampons used in 24 hours, size of clots, any change in bleeding or pain. This helps decide urgency.

When you must see a doctor or go to emergency (do NOT delay)

Heavy bleeding (soaking one pad/hour or much more than your usual heavy flow)
Passing large clots (bigger than a quarter/coin or especially larger)
Dizziness, fainting, very fast heartbeat, shortness of breath, weakness (signs of significant blood loss)
Severe lower abdominal or pelvic pain, fever or chills, or foul-smelling discharge
Positive pregnancy test, or pregnancy is suspected (risk of ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage)
If any of these happen, call emergency services or go to ER now. Apollo Emergency — 1066.

If none of the red flags are present and you still don’t want to see a gynecologist now

Still do the pregnancy test immediately.
If pregnancy test is negative but bleeding continues for more than 7–10 days or gets worse, please reconsider seeing a gynecologist for tests: urine pregnancy test, complete blood count (to check for anemia), and transvaginal ultrasound (to check pregnancy location, retained products, polyps, fibroids).
If you have risk factors (history of clotting disorders, kidney disease, or are taking medications that affect bleeding), seek medical advice sooner.

Questions for you

When you said “No I didn’t take,” did you mean you did not take a pregnancy test? Or did you mean you didn’t take any medicine (like Pause‑500)?
How heavy is the bleeding now (pads per hour/day)? Any severe pain, fever, dizziness, fainting, or new medications taken?

If you want, I can help you:

interpret a pregnancy test result,
find local urgent care/gynecology options, or
give more specific instructions based on what medicines you have already taken.

If you develop any emergency signs listed above, call Apollo Emergency (1066) or go to the nearest ER immediately.

Is it safe to take Devry 10 mg and Pause XT for ongoing bleeding after a C-section while breastfeeding my two-month-old baby, or is it better to wait for the bleeding to stop on its own since the flow is already decreasing?
