Ok, ladies.... even though I still BF my butt off, AF has made her appearance already. What do I need to know?
I already know it's gonna be a terrible period... I figured that part out on my own. ![]()
I feel like I've seen that some of your supply dropped.... is that always the case? Is there a way to keep it up other than the usual supply increasers?
Thanks ladies!
Re: WTH? AF is here...
Mine came early too and I was 100% BFing still (no solids). It's weird but different for every person I guess. mine are regular now, around every 28 days so I would definitely use precaution if you don't want another LO right away!
As far as supply I don't notice a huge change but every week before AF comes I notice it's lower than normal.
Mine came early as well, even with exclusively BFing. My first period wasn't terrible, it was the 2nd one that was the most painful ever.
I would notice a drop in what I would pump around 2 days before starting my period, and I would get nervous thinking that my supply was ending. Then it came right back up after AF was over with no extra intervention. And by drop in supply I only mean around 1-2 ounces with each pumping session. My BF sessions didn't take a hit that I could tell, Sam didn't seem to notice any difference.
Sorry it's back for you already!
This!
I didn't notice anything in my supply. Mine came way earlier than I expected and at work...not fun.
