My DD is 8 months. I had a period 1 time before but haven't had one since. I have just started and wondered if that is normal or if I should be concerned? When did you start your period while EBF?
I just had my first pp period last month (DS was around 13 months). I would say that your normal. I have heard so many ppl say that their pp period's were outta whack for a while.
Warning
No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
ugh..I just got mine and I'm only 6wks pp!! not fair..hopefully it's just a random one and I wont get another for a while haha
That's most likely just your lochia restarting. It's common for it to do that at 6 weeks pp, then taper off at 8 weeks pp. Though some women do really get AF back that early, too.
I didn't get my first pp period until 13.5 months, a couple weeks after I stopped breastfeeding. But I know several people who got it all at different times, 6 months, 6 months, 8 months, etc... all while still nursing, just once they slowed down and/or started the weaning process. Mine was also very irregular when it came back.
Re: When did you start your period?
I just started my first one today (almost 9 mos pp)
It's normal for them to be wonky for a while.
