Is your period back to "normal"?

indy_chic · March 2012

After 9 months, my periods are still very heavy. Should I expect this to be the new norm?

I haven't gotten mine yet so nope, definitely not back to normal.

I know, right? I haven't had my period in 18 months! Loving this.

I don't know. Mine are back, and, unfortunately, have been for many, many months despite EBF, but they're unquestionably heavier. I sure hope they don't get worse once I wean.

I found with DD #1 that they got lighter and more regular once I weaned. Hope the same is true for you.

I got my 1st one on Feb 14 and I am due again, but no period yet, but cramping...I have always been late, it is sort of how my cycle has always worked. Curious if it will be the same as it has, so far I am a few days late again, so looking like it...

I find my AF changes after each pg (heavier or lighter, more cramps or less), sometimes for a less than a year, sometimes for more. After this birth, I think my AF is a bit heavier than before this pg, but a wouldn't say very heavy (like before my 1st pg). I figured it could be a new norm, but reading the pp, perhaps it will change again when I stop BF. I guess my answer is: could be, but maybe not.

Haven't had one yet so not normal. I briefly took the mini pill but was somewhat concerned about milk supply and decided to stop and use other methods for now. I really dread it coming back it has been so nice not having it.
