MyLilPeanut11

just wondering if any one else's returned.  i am ebf and i thought it would stay away for longer   ive always had really bad, random periods. i really hope its changed!  also...maybe tmi....but im using the same tampons as before birth and i cant even feel the damn thing go in....im officially an old stretched out mommy i feel bad for my husband and wonder if hes been lying about me being the same down there....lol

 I thought I was getting my period when I had breakthrough bleeding from the mini-pill... Did you start taking it recently? (Just trying to be optimistic!)

Mine hasn't come back, but then LO rarely goes more than 5 hours between feedings.  Is your LO sleeping longer stretches? If so, you can consider it a trade off.

Well then, could it be spotting from being pregnant again?  I keep thinking we should have a post anyday now with a BFP.

Seriously, I also thought it would wait longer before it returned.

That would be like my worst nightmare come to life.

I still don't have mine either and I have stopped pumping like a while ago.  I wish it would just rear its ugly face and get it over with already.

Mine returned a couple weeks ago, but I stopped breastfeeding at 6 weeks.  That's also when I started temping again (just to know what my body is doing not for conception purposes) so I knew it was coming.  My sister has had 4 kids and her period has returned at 6 weeks while ebf each time so sometimes it just works that way.

Mine just returned as well. I was hoping it would stay away longer, but DD just recently started STTN, so I'll take that trade-off.

Has anyone noticed major differences in their pp periods? Mine used to be wretched cramps/lots of blood loss for 2-3 days and then eventually peter out. This time, I didn't even know it was coming because I had NO cramps, no boob tenderness, I didn't even get really cranky/emotional (seriously, my husband used to guess it was coming before I did!). And the blood loss hasn't been nearly as heavy. Sorry if this has been TMI - just wondering if anyone else has experienced differences.

ya mine was completely unexpected! i havent had any cramps either and usually they are terrible. hopefully it will stay this way.
