Cramping---
I am about 4.5 months pp and have not started my period yet--I EBF so I know it takes a while--but I have been crampy and bloated feeling the past few days. It feels like I'm about to start, but nothing. Has this ever happened to anyone--do you think it's my body's way of trying to get everything back again?
Just nervous because even though I'm on the progesterone pill and EBF, this is the same way I felt when I found out I was pregnant before. Any advice/input would be great!

Re: Cramping---
When I got my first PP period I was sitting on the couch and started to feel some cramping. I said to myself "I bet my period is coming soon", and sure enough it was there next time I went to the bathroom.
My period (a different one) just ended 2 days ago and I've been pretty crampy the last couple days, but I know I'm not pregnant (H has been gone).
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Cramping could be for anything and since your AF hasn't come back yet, I'm sure that's all it is. You could always get a dollar store test if you'd rather have the peace of mind.
I just got my first PP period today, and I've been cramping for weeks. It's like AF is making up for lost time.
Like PP said, you can always take a test just to be sure.
Used to get awful cramps w my period before pregnancy. Got PP period a day after LO turned 16 wks old... no cramps but lots of cramping (pressure/pulling feeling) before it arrived.
Thought if I BFd it wouldnt come for a while (not the only reason why I do it of course)...
Oh well... it was bound to come back one day
Isn't this the life?!
