EBF or EPers and AF

Has AF returned? If so when and how is your supply?

With ds1, AF didn't return until 11 months pp. I think I am spotting today. I am bummed!

Nothing yet for me. With DS1, I got pregnant again before I got my first AF. That was eight months postpartum, so I'm assuming I would have gotten it then if I hadn't gotten pg again.

... I haven't stopped the pp bleeding yet... Almost 9 weeks after giving birth. WTF?!

 I am so sorry!   That stinks!

 I posted on the BF board and someone said I might still have some pp spotting.  I'm really hoping.

I EBF but got Mirena 5 weeks ago and have been spotting/bleeding since, so I have no idea if I got a period yet or not. I think my pp bleeding was done at around 3.5 weeks. I EBF DS1 until he was 6 months, then just nursed him first thing in the morning and at bedtime until 9 months. Didn't get my period until month 10, a couple weeks after I was completely done BFing.

I got paragaurd and have been spotting for a week. With my first I got my period at 3 months. It did not affect my supply. I nursed for 20 months

Ditto this. I had really bad internal muscle tearing that may take up to 4 months to fully heal per my OB. WTF is right!

I got AF at 7 wks pp. lasted 5 days. It didn't affect my supply at all.  I EBF

Same here. Was totally pissed that it came back so soon

I was 8w pp when I got AF and I EBF. It wasn't very heavy. One day I had some blood on tp when going to the bathroom and nothing the rest of the day and then the next day some very light bleeding. Almost like spotting for three days and then it was gone. I assume it was AF because I stopped having pp bleeding at three weeks.

Oh and it didn't have any effect on my supply. If anything, I think my supply was heavier during it.

Haven't gotten AF this time yet...but with DD it came back just under 4 months on New Years Day (not fun when you're in Canada visiting your MIL and are not prepared at all...but I digress...lol).

Don't believe it did anything to my supply...I BF till DD was 17 months.

Mine started yesterday, boo, i do get a bit of a supply drop at first but it bounces right back after 2 or 3 days
