Bfing moms - When did you get your period?

AIDAN · October 2008

So I've been feelings menstrual-like cramps for the past few days and I *think* I'm getting my period. It's either that or I'm pregnant (oh, you ladies should see the terrified look on dh's face when I said that....lol).

Anyhow, if any of you ladies bf, when did you get your period and is your period regular like pre-pregnancy?

I want to know too! I have had no period yet either...

stargirlkate · October 2008

still no AF here, some random spotting and cramps but nothing.

chihuahua26 · October 2008

I stopped BF'ing completely last month and still haven't had a period.

proudarmywife: our DD have the same birthday. I started last week and was not happy about it. I BF

Brewtowngrl · October 2008

I got mine at 6 months pp and haven't gotten it this month yet. No chance of being pregnant here. DH started 2nd shift and we have yet to figure out our timing.

Still waiting! I guess I shouldn't have replied if I didn't have a helpful answer for you...

DD was about 6.5 months when I got AF. I was a mega b i t c h the week before and very bloated, no cramps.

I only got one period I was still BF'ing but I dropped the pumping before she went to bed and she was eating solids so she may have not been eating as much at nursing.

It lasted about 4 days and never came back, I O'd very late, like CD 21 I thought it was too late in my cycle to get PG, but apparently I was wrong! Go figure, it took us 14 months to get PG with DD and this one Surprise!

Good Luck!

It was when I started weaning at 5 1/2 months. I did have cramps for about 6 weeks on and off before that. The biggest PMS sign though was the depression. Gosh I got SO SAD for about 5 days before AF showed her ugly and extremely heavy self.

Now it comes about every 35 days instead of 28.

carolinaem · October 2008

Mine came back this week (booooooooooo) - dd will be 8 months in a week. I am still breastfeeding about 5-6x a day too. I am not pleased. FWIW I told dh the same thing last week about period or pregnant, and here I am now, sigh.

* edit- As of now it seems pretty normal, no bad cramps or anything. But I have heard from others that it tends to be longer and heavier and more of a PITA.

Brooklyn2577 · October 2008

I haven't gotten mine yet. I thought I was going to a few times, but nothing.

eaglesfan700 · October 2008

I got mine at 5 months and DS was still EBF.

bim38106 · October 2008

I'm still waiting.. I thought AF was going to come a couple times (cramping) but nothing yet. And I tested to make sure I wasn't PG!

roseroseroseroserose · October 2008

I got one at 7 mos and have not had another since. I have POAS two times b/c it's freaking me out.

gwenplusone · October 2008

I got it at about 5.5 months. Just around the time DS started solids.

brennrobert · October 2008

I was one of the "lucky" 7% who EBF day and night and still got AF early. ?I got it just before 4 months, so O around 3.5 months pp. ?It's been pretty regular as far as cycle length, maybe a bit short on the LP. ?I have a super heavy flow for 2 days and then nothing.

MissBlush · October 2008

I got mine at 7 months, and I'm still BF'ing. ?It's been 36 days since then and I still haven't had my next period yet, and I know I'm not PG, so I don't think I'm regular yet.

Calibride31304 · October 2008

Nothing yet and I only BF, at most, 3x/day and DS has been STTN for 3 months now.

Mama Jan · October 2008

I got it at 7 months. First one was normal, second one was a monster (bleeding through pads and tampons at the same time... Joy.).

aimeelv · October 2008

No AF for me yet! I keep feeling like she's coming, but so far I've been lucky.

Gwyn1030 · October 2008

Still waiting here. Had cramps early on and my midwife thought my body might be trying to ovulate, but nothing happened.

bksp1 · October 2008

I got mine 7 months pp and they are worse than PP. Heavier and more cramping. I figure that will subside once I get off the mini pill and back onto the bc I was on before. I never cramped and had very light periods.
