I've heard the first one is usually really bad, but I've had mostly just spotting for a week now, it hasn't been bad at all, and it seems to be on it's way out. Maybe next month will be the bad one
I EPd and my first PPP was 4 months and fairly normal, then again I had one at 8 months which was light, then I stopped EPing at 9 months and it's pretty regualr now. But I don't remember it being so much worse than before DD. I think what makes it so much worse is that we're not used to having it for 10 months + so its just super crappy!
I'm on my third now. The first one was super light with almost no cramping and each one since has been a little heavier and a little more cramping, but still not bad. I think over all mine have been easier then pre-pregnancy. I may be the odd one out though. I am not on BC and am no longer BF.
My first one wasn't bad at all (it was a 7 mo pp). Then I skipped a month. Then I had the period from hell at 9 mo. I was so afraid it would always be like that. (I had really easy periods pre pg). Smooth sailing from then on, though!

Re: If you've gotten your period back
are you Bfing or using BC?

Just got my first one this past Monday. It was very heavy with no cramps.
