before you got AF back, did it hurt to BF?

    I'm not sure I understand your question, do you mean right before getting AF or generally in the entire period of time before AF returned? 

    AF didn't return for me until I quit pumping and was only nursing at night and in the morning (after Coop was a year) so maybe I can't answer your question?

    Not that I recall, but I'm not one who normally has breast sensitivity due to AF anyway.

    Same here.  AF returned when DS was 9 months old.

    My weirdo body didn't get af until months after being done BF, so this isn't first-hand knowledge.

    I can see how it could, if you are one that is prone to breast/nipple tenderness during PMS.  However, if you aren't, or if AF doesn't start soon, I'd get checked out to rule out thrush.

    Hope it gets better soon.

    My AF returned at 5 and a half months when I was still EBFing. It was right after she dropped her nighttime feeding for good. I'm sooooo lucky.

    No sore nipples although my supply did drop and she nursed a TON because of that.

    the day or so before mine started (11 months) I started having uterine contractions like the ones I got while breastfeeding after her birth. Those little tightening twinges that I got as my uterus was contracting. I didn't think about it as it was happening, but I'm pretty sure it was all related!

    I didn't get AF until I stopped so it was about 11 months postpartum. BFing only hurt the first few days and when I was super full for me. Otherwise I didn't find it painful at all. And even when I was super full, there was a bit of relief with the pain...like rubbing a sore muscle.
