Period return

dehsignz · July 2011

I EBF, just started some solids but still lots of BFing. My period returned last month for the first time.

Here is my question, when yours returned was it regular? Prior to being pregnant I was like clockwork at 28 days my entire life. Now since my first period last month 28 days has come and gone. Got PMS feeling and cramps but nothing.

Body still out of whack from breastfeeding or do I need to pee on a stick?

I got two regular periods after my first baby. Third period never came... peed on a stick... 9 months later, I am holding a newborn as I type this Wink

(and I EBFd).

mine started to come back at 10 months and was very light. After that it would range in length from 28 - 38 days. (my pre norm was 35 days) and as i weaned from pumping, then slowing weaning the various feedings its slowly coming back to more pre-pg normal.

However it's you're not protected you could be pg, so although i doubt it you never know. I would poas just to know right know, otherwise wait a week and see.

I got mine back a few days before DS turned 5 months. I was also every 28 days like clockwork before pregnancy, and it's only been slightly different, like 30 or 31 days, but I'm only going on my 3rd cycle at the moment. They've been the same length, 5 days.

Thanks. We use condoms but those make me very nervous. I guess I will buy a test this weekend. Gulp.
