AM/PM Bfdn'g moms..

When did AF show up for you, if at all?  I've been nursing LO only in the morning at his 6 am feed and at night for his 7:20 before bed feed and all through the day nothing- I dont even pump {my supply has totally tanked and I can't revive it}.  I've been wondering if maybe I'll be visited by AF soon?

I've been feeling a bit crampy and moody, so I'm wondering if she's just around the corner.  Sad  Annnnd one last question, sorry if this is TMI, but was your first AF visit really heavy and last really long? Just trying to gauge what I might be in for, and if I need to run out and get some heavy pads.

Thanks!

    I'm still BF'ing and pumping all day long and I got AF back at 12 weeks. (yay for me! <---note sarcasm)

    Luckily my post-baby AFs have been overall lighter and less painful than pre-baby. I guess that's God's way of making up for the fact that I only got 12 weeks off...

    Dear Bump: You suck.

    I've been BF in the AM/PM for about 4-5 weeks now and still no sign of AF.  I have the Mirena IUD though so that might also be why I haven't gotten AF yet.

    ...that's what I'm hoping at least.

    My first AF after Abby was at 8 months, when I was EP for almost a month. It wasn't very heavy, just different. Kind of stringy and darker than usual.

    I bet so!  My dr. said a lot of women only get spotting with the Mirena.
