If you were pumping for a NICU baby...

when did you get your first post partum period?  Mine started last week (about 6 1/2wks post partum) even though I've been pumping since delivery.  Sort of caught me off guard, but it's just one more in a long line of asskickings I've gotten lately.

    Yep - mine was exactly 6.5 wks pp.  Even though I started the mini-pill a week ago and the nurse practitioner said with that and BFing I probably wouldn't get a period.

    about the same...6 weeks pp, but then I didn't have one again. So my Dr. just went ahead with my Mirena anyway.

    Funny... mine was exactly 6.5 weeks pp too.  My supply is down to pretty much nothing and that was just icing on the cake!

    I haven't. But I wasn't getting one before I got pregnant, which is why we had to do IVF, so I guess that could have something to do with it. And I just started the mini pill a few weeks ago, so who knows what will happen now.

    I haven't gotten one yet and it'll be 9 weeks Monday...though were your babies still in the nicu when you all got yours at 6.5 wks (I didn't check before posting this)- DS was only in there 3 weeks...then I did some bf'ing and now i'm just pumping.  I know this is normal at least for moms of full term babies...hmm...hope theres not something i don't know...i'm not worried though, when I wasn' on bc before my bfp - i had screwy cycles...my bfp was on cd64!!

    I didn't get mine until the month after I stopped pumping, so it was 4 months pp

    I got mine at 8 weeks pp.  The ironic thing-before I got pregnant, I usually had to induce my period with provera.

    8w pp for me. And I bled for 6 weeks after I had him, so that seriously sucked

    Then I had 60 day cycles for a while, with one 25 day cycle thrown in. Then in April, I stopped having them. I stopped pumping about a month ago and am now taking provera to induce one. I swear my body just likes to screw with me.

    I am 3.5 months post partum & have still not gotten my first AF (which is fine with me!).  I am surprised you got your period already.  How many times a day do you pump?

    10 weeks pp-it's a little depressing-my edd is still over a month away.  oh and I bled through my entire pregnancy.  ugh.

    I was the same way. My period came back before Robbie's due date, and I had spotted essentially my entire pregnancy. I was joking the other day that since I haven't had a period since April, this is now the longest I've ever gone w/o one and I'm not even pregnant.

     

    Rachel&Joe- I was pumping 8-10x/day and mine still came back right away. Some people even get them when they're nursing. And I just really don't think pumping affects things the same way nursing does.
