Aunt flow!!

I gave birth via c-section 8/17/11.
I breast Fed exclusively for 13 months night and day.
I just weaned my daughter about 2-3 weeks ago. Started cramping and having excess discharge.
I've taken home pregnancy tests and they all showed negative. 
How long did it take for yal to get your periods back? 
I just want to feel normal again, before we work for baby #2.

  • I got mine when my son was 12 months, and we are still breastfeeding.

  • Heh.  Impossible to know what'll happen for you based on any random sampling.  I got my (first and only post partum period) 5 1/2 months postpartum, while exclusively BFing around the clock (yep, a couple times overnight still).  Six weeks after that period (not 2 weeks, but 6 weeks later), I got pregnant (that was 24 weeks ago).  And I'm still BFing.

  • I got my period 31 days after I stopped breast feeding.  Maybe the cramping and discharge is ovulation? When I got off of birthcontrol when we were TTC, I noticed excessive discharge and cramping 2 weeks before I got my BFP so I know it was due to ovulation.  :)

  • Still waiting. I BF and supplemented with formula until the 3rd week of August.

  • I got mine 4 days after I last bf. I got another one 20 days later.
