Period After Baby

Yall… it’s been almost two years since my last period (pregnancy and then EBF has kept it away)….had my first period again last month. I was pleasantly surprised, easy… no pain… somewhat light.
(TMI incoming)
Second one now… holy hell. I feel like whenever I stand up it just gushes out of me. When i go to the restroom, I look down and notice it’s almost like syrupy.

I honestly don’t know if I’m bleeding too much, if it’s normal, or what…it is making me seriously miss birth control - where I just skipped my period altogether. But I’m worried that if I go on it now, and we want to try for baby #2 in a few months, that it will impact our abilities to be able to…

Do I just give it a couple days to see if bleeding slows down?
What was everyone else’s experience?
