I have a huge sore throat for the past week and it gets really bad at night. The whole house is very sick which = rough 2 wks. I also feel very crampy like I am getting my period which has only started today. I EBF and still no AF. LO is 19 wks. Maybe its a sign? Has anyone had AF while EBF?
I had one at 11 weeks postpartum, skipped a month, and have been menstruating regularly since then, so 4 altogether so far. DD was EBF up until 2 weeks ago when we started solids. The worst is it kills my supply every month. I'll start panicking that I'm drying up, then a couple days later AF shows, then a few days after that DD stops acting like she's starving at the boob. and we're good until the next month.
I haven't had AFs, but I've had a lot of intermittent AF-like cramps the past couple weeks (and a head cold). But no AF. My friend said she also had cramps for a long time before AF actually came, so maybe it's not her?

AF came back after 5 weeks for me. My cramps weren't too bad, but it did affect my supply.
