Period Talk Please

I had my first pp period the middle of May. It came without warning, was 2 days of light flow, no cramps or anything durring. Well, the past week I have been all kinds of moody, nauseous, crampy, and overall feeling run down. Friday my nipples started hurting so badly I wanted to cry when I nurse dd. I am still feeling all of these things. I did test last Thursday and it was negative. So my questions for you ladies are..... Did your periods get worse after the first? Did pms symptoms worsen pp? What the heck is going on with me?!?! Because I know you ladies all know my body perfectly! :-)

After C, my period went from every kind of wonky to so regular I could set my watch by it.

After E, I got my first pp period at 8 weeks and it was regular 30 daddy cycle until September. But sept, Oct, and Nov were all kinds of f'dd up. In Sept, I was 9 days late. In Oct I was 7 days early. In November I was ANOTHER 8 (or 9, can't remember ) early and I now has my period right during my wedding.

Either way, I didn't really have PMS. But I did suffer from pmdd.

DS hasn't weaned yet, so I don't know what my periods are going to end up doing. I had very long, irregular cycles before getting KU, and so far I've been pretty irregular since starting back up last October. 

My first PP AF was a total breeze - fairly light, hardly any cramps or PMS. One of my more recent cycles was the opposite, though. It was brutal. 

Basically, I am no help because I'm pretty sure I'm broken lol

After both of my kids, I had to go on bcp to regulate hormal issues I was having. After dd it was headaches, but after Ds, I had a normal period then a few weeks later, I had the heaviest one of my life....like Godfather horse head scene occurring in my bed.

Thanks girls. I think I will test again on Wednesday if af doesn't start. I think its going to be bad if/when it does come.

Are you TTC? If so, good luck!

You know everything you knew about your period before pregnancy? Just forget it and start with a clean slate because pregnancy is like pressing a reset button for your cycles. It will take a while to settle into your new normal if you're not pregnant.

And @holly321, I have also had about 3 PP periods where it started in the morning with no warning and I bled all over the bathroom floor just between taking off my pants and getting in the shower (tile flowers, easy to clean up). The first time it happened, I was horrified. Now I'm just glad that that has always been while I was at home in the morning and not out and about. Sorry for the TMI. It was gross and I'm glad I'm not the only one!
