I know I'm lucky that I lasted this long (11.5 months pp), but I am NOT in a good mood today. I've been AF-free since October 2009 and I almost forgot how much this sucks. I've taken 4 ibuprofen and I'm still in pain. Why God Why???? Blah, I just needed to vent.
Re: Ugh, first pp period. :( Cue the violins.
My first pp period after the girls was bad, but my first one after DS almost had me in the emergency room. I actually had to get on medication for it. Bleh.
You have my deepest sympathies!
ugh, I'm so not looking forward to this. DS is 13mo old and I'm now only nursing once a day but AF still hasn't shown up. I feel like it's just any hour now and just want to get it over with already! I've been AF-free since Jan 2008! 3.5 yrs of build up is gonna HURT!
hope you feel better!

My first few periods were really bad. My cramps felt like less severe (but still terrible) back labor. I still get cramps like that every few months, but thankfully I'm back to normal for the most part.
I hope you feel better soon!!
