EBF/EP and post partum periods

musicalsilver

I feel like it's been a while since we've had this? DH wanted me to ask the board and AF symptoms (but no actual period) keep seriously messing with my head ...

I posted this in the spam thread but I've weaned - it's been more than 2 weeks since she last nursed - but nothing yet!

Got mine back at 10 weeks PP and cycles have been like clockwork ever since (still BFing). *sigh*

I weaned completely from EP 2 weeks ago. Was taking regular birth control pills.  Started my sugar pill last Sunday and thought for sure I'd get a period but nope, nothing!

At least I'm not the only one!

I got mine back around the 3 month pp mark. They're pretty regular.

Still BF with no AF but I also got an IUD at like 12 weeks so my doctor said it wouldn't be unusual if I didn't get it even when I do decide to wean.

Are you on birth control?  If so, what kind?  I keep meaning to POAS but forgetting - obviously I don't really think I'm KU.

@kelly422‌ We just use condoms. Just took a test - negative!

Just arrived last week... I blame responding to the last period post.

I feel like my uterus is spying on my poll results too ... it's just waiting.

Last pumped on Feb 8th (EPer) and on the mini pill. Have spotted a few days here and there but no actual period

Are you going to switch from mini pill to regular pills?

Weaned. On (in?) Mirena. No period

Just got mine today. Yay! I have Paragard and am still BFing.

Before I weaned, I had already gotten my period back.  I BF for 8 months, but got my period back after 6.  Had one cycle and then got pregnant.  And then I weaned.

Still BF no sign of AF, and I am thankful.

Does the mini pill affect periods? I'm on it and haven't had mine yet.

I think it does from what I read on the instructions. I don't think you get AF on mini.

Still BFing, just got my 2nd pp period. It could have stayed away, I wasn't complaining...

I stopped pumping the week after Thanksgiving, got my period in December, got BFP in February. Lesson learned ladies.  The pill only works when you take it...

Yup. I was on a continuous dose of the mini pill years before M and didn't have AF for almost 2 years.
