Period ?

in March 2011 Moms
I was cleared by the doc last week-I am 7 weeks postpartum.  Doc gave me a safe BC pill to take.  I am BFing and he said I may or may not get my period and I could start taking the BC right away instead of waiting for my period.  I read the instructions and it said that was ok as long as you wait 48 hours to have sex.  I've been taking the BC for exactly a week and got my period today.  It's pretty regular of a flow.  I;ve also started working out every day (Jillian Michael's)  is this just my period or should I call-could it be anything else possibly caused by working out??  I guess I haven't had my period in so long!  hahaha!  I guess by continuing my BC my period will regulate itself?  any ideas?  :)    I guess I assumed I wouldn't get my period.  Should I continue the pill as normal and it will work out?  I may just call the doc Monday to ask too but I wanted to get some thoughts from you ladies!

    For me, I had bleeding in the first/second week I was on the estrogen-free bcp (the "mini pill") and have heard several other girls talk about it on here. I don't think it was AF but just breakthrough bleeding. It was actually kind of heavy and very annoying. I'm still not 100% sure if I'll get AF but I finish the pack this weekend and start the next one the following day. I feel like I'm going to get AF but who knows?!?! Good for you for working out! Do you recommend it?

    sorry-whats AF?

    i love love love Jillian Michaels.. if you have on demand you can try some for free.  I am starting with 30 day shred since it's only 20 minutes.  They are intense but I like that it's short and I can do one and shower all while LO naps!

    Oh, AF = Aunt Flo = period. I'd love to know what your doctor says. I was sure I was getting AF too but I think it's just part of being on the mini pill. Please let us know what the doc says!

    And thanks for the recommendation. I love her on the biggest loser but haven't ever tried her workout. I'm going to go look on demand now. Thanks!

    I'm on the mini pill too and just had some bleeding this past week (my 2nd week taking the pill).  I lasted about 5 days and was heavy at times, but I wasn't crampy or bloated like am with AF, so I think it was just breakthrough bleeding as PPs said.

    DH and I are doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred! It is intense but the workouts are short and keep you moving.

    Thanks guys!  Another girl on my local board said she used to work in an OBGYN office and it takes about 2-3 months of taking the pill to really get 'regular'.

    Jillian Michael's rocks!  GL!
