Period?

jess10/17

My little one is 13 weeks tomorrow.  My period returned at 8 weeks postpartum and I have been on the mini pill since 7 weeks postpartum.  My question is when your periods returned were they really irregular?  I had my period two weeks ago but today I have light spotting again?  Just wondering if it's my hormones still being out of wack!

I started the mini pill at 7 weeks PP and got my period almost immediately after. However I am now 12 weeks PP and have not had my period since. Took a pregnancy test just to be sure and with a huge sigh of relief I am not pregnant. So I guess my cycle is just whack or the initial period was not an actual period but just the hormones entering and leaving my body. Who knows. When I was on BC prior to LO my cycle was like clock work...

Mine were irregular after I got my period back with DD at 9 months. They were just starting to get somewhat regular again when I found out I was pg with DS when DD was 17 months.

Mine were super irregular [after my first] for about two months. I would have a 10 day long period and then 10 days after it stopped it would start again. They did go back completely normal though!

I've been EBF my LO since we left the hospital and I got my period at 4 weeks PP. My doctor and I were shocked considering LO was eating every 2-3 hours, but it was definitely irregular that I thought it was just a re-emergence of PP bleeding. I would go for a few days very light, then a week of nothing, then just over a week at super heavy (which was my normal period), a week off, then another week of heavy. I still go though this cycle but the gaps between are slowly getting longer.
