If you EBF... Period question. Come in

If you are EBF when did you get your first pp period? What are you using for back up bc?

  • I haven't gotten my period yet. With DD I didn't get my period for 7 months!

  • I nursed DD for 14 months, and didn't get my period the entire time. I didn't use any bc and didn't get pregnant either. Of course, I don't want to chance it right now but I'm only 2 weeks PP and have to start rethinking what I'm going to do about BC

  • DD is 9 weeks and I havent had one yet
  • with DD i didn't get it until 9 months pp.....i am hoping for at least that long this time.  we used condoms and will again, i am not willing to risk losing my supply by taking the mini pill and i am against IUD's.

  • I have been EBF for 3 months now and still not period. We are using condoms. My OBS recommended me not to use pills or other BC since the milk supply would be affected by them. I will go on pills once I stop breastfeeding.

  • With DD, I went 9 months p.p. without my period (it was glorious!) EBF-ing.  I expect another long vacation from AF again...  I went on mini-pill last time and I noticed no difference in my milk production, FWIW.

  • I am EBF and I'm one of the unlucky few...I got my period at 6 weeks PP.
  • 8 weeks pp, and so far, no period. I thought I was getting it a couple of weeks ago-had cramping and a tiny bit of spotting, but nothing else. I am getting Mirena tomorrow, so I don't know if I will get one at all.

    Me too. I'm taking the mini pill. You just have to take it at the same time everyday for it to be effective so I use my iPhone alarm and I'm good to go!
