Post Pardum Period

in May 2012 Moms
Just wanted to ask how many moms that are breast feeding have gotten their period? I know it's normal not to get it while you're breastfeeding, but I've had to supplement and am really only pumping twice a day now with the occasional night feed.  I am also on the low hormone bc pill. I would have thought the period would be back by now because I'm not really nursing much any more.  What's been everyone elses experience?

    I still haven't gotten my period yet either. I breastfeed her 3 times a day and pump 3 times as well. I do have moments where I feel like I have symptoms of my period like breakouts and moodiness but nothing more. This week, however, it feels like I've ovulated. We'll see if that's a warning of things to come. I'm not on the pill and I am 39 years old.

    Same here, except I think I was closer to 8 weeks. Plus it came back super heavy and more painful than any cramps I have ever had before baby.

    I got my period the week of Christmas (at almost 7 months) and I BF anytime I'm home with him and pump while at work and am not on any birth control.
