Period Question

jc4584

For those of you who had your period return while continuing to breastfeed, did it return every month at the normal time, later, and/or earlier? 

I'm expecting my 2nd pp period any day now and I'm slightly freaked out that it hasn't came yet.

Got my first one 3 month pp and my cycle has been about 26 days...sucks! So yes, while I was breastfeeding my period has continued to come

Everyone is so different though pp.

For the most part mine has been around the same time each month except the first few. Got my 1st pp period at 3 months. The 2nd pp period came 35 days later and I was freaking out too! I actually took a pregnancy test! It was negative. Im sure you'll get it. My baby is 9 months old now and we are still breastfeeding and Ive had one every month but they are never exactly the same amount of days in between. They range from 28-30ish days in between periods.Hope this helps! Breastfeeding can really throw of the regularity of periods

Mine returned at 6 months pp and I've had it monthly like clockwork since then.

Whew, got it today....35 days after the 1st. Thank goodness!!

Thanks for the replies. Everything is so different for everyone. I personally think its some BS that mother nature makes us endure periods while breastfeeding. It would be nice to catch a break. For those of you who got it many months later you're LUCKY! ::envious::
