If you've gotten AF back

Luckystar2 · March 2009

AF finally came back after 10 months. My pumping output really sucked this week and then AF showed so I am hoping it was just AF.

A couple questions

If your supply dipped around AF how long does it last? Does it start before AF and last till AF is over? Just part of the time?

Is your supply back to normal once AF is gone?

Was your first pp AF normal or really heavy? Were you on mini-pill?

I'm on mini-pill so I'm not sure if thats affecting it too, but so far AF has been pretty light. I was expecting my first pp AF after 10 months to be a horror show. Hoping it doesn't turn into it...its still going to be around for at least a few more days.

Mine came back at 7 months. I have had 3 since then and luckily they've been 28-30 day cycles. The first 2 were so light that I wasn't even convinced it was AF (I had also heard that the first is usually heavy), but the 3rd was finally normal.

Yes, my supply drops when AF appears. I guess I haven't paid enough attention to know when the drop starts and stops. I think it shot back up near the end of AF.

mine came back at nine months. it started about a week before AF and lasted until AF was gone.

supply never really went back up to normal (I EP)

My period was just like it was before i was pregnant.

I was EBF and got my first AF at 7.5 months. It was VERY heavy, and yes my supply did drop for about 3 days. It was already low so I during those days I was getting practically nothing. Now that it's passed, I am back up to what I was getting before.
