What happened?

LO is 3 months and still no period. Monday I noticed I was ovulating, my face broke out horribly and my hair, oooohhhhh my poor hair is falling out like crazy! But the kicker? My supply has been cut in half!
I am a supplementer due to low supply but this is ridiculous! I will say it has gotten a little better since Friday, but not by much.

Anyone else have this issue before? Did you start your period soon after? I am really enjoying the fact that I haven't had a cycle in a year, and I really want to continue BF even if it is only a few times a day...TIA!

    I just got what I believe was my first period a couple of months ago. Nothing since, though. It's normal for it to take awhile for AF to return while BFing full time.

    Your hair falling out is normal. I think DD was 5 or 6 months before it finally stopped being so ridiculous. 

    If you are expecting AF it's possible that you're experiencing a low supply because of the hormone changes and that your supply will rebound post AF.

    I spotted at 2 months PP for 2 days and then nothing. It sure would be nice if that was all I got from here on out! LOL, thanks for your input :)

    I just got my 1st pp AF today Sad. Can't say that I have missed that for 16 months. So far my supply doesn't seem to have taken a huge hit. I figure if it does I will up my oatmeal intake for a few days and see if that helps. I haven't had to use any fenugreek or teas yet and hope to avoid them if at all possible.
