MyLilPeanut11 · April 2012

I thought I was getting my period when I had breakthrough bleeding from the mini-pill... Did you start taking it recently? (Just trying to be optimistic!)

Mine hasn't come back, but then LO rarely goes more than 5 hours between feedings. Is your LO sleeping longer stretches? If so, you can consider it a trade off.

Well then, could it be spotting from being pregnant again? I keep thinking we should have a post anyday now with a BFP.

Seriously, I also thought it would wait longer before it returned.

That would be like my worst nightmare come to life.

I still don't have mine either and I have stopped pumping like a while ago. I wish it would just rear its ugly face and get it over with already.

ya being preggo so soon would be horrible!!!! def. not thank goodness! my lo only goes max 3 hrs between feedings. my body hates me.

Mine returned a couple weeks ago, but I stopped breastfeeding at 6 weeks. That's also when I started temping again (just to know what my body is doing not for conception purposes) so I knew it was coming. My sister has had 4 kids and her period has returned at 6 weeks while ebf each time so sometimes it just works that way.

Mine just returned as well. I was hoping it would stay away longer, but DD just recently started STTN, so I'll take that trade-off.

Has anyone noticed major differences in their pp periods? Mine used to be wretched cramps/lots of blood loss for 2-3 days and then eventually peter out. This time, I didn't even know it was coming because I had NO cramps, no boob tenderness, I didn't even get really cranky/emotional (seriously, my husband used to guess it was coming before I did!). And the blood loss hasn't been nearly as heavy. Sorry if this has been TMI - just wondering if anyone else has experienced differences.

ya mine was completely unexpected! i havent had any cramps either and usually they are terrible. hopefully it will stay this way.
