BFers come in...

drbethc · December 2012

So LO is 6 months and I still have not gotten my period back. Has anyone gotten their periods back yet?

khill86 · December 2012

Nope! I took BCP for a month and changed my mind about it. I finished the pack and spotted for a couple days but that's it.

I'm not complaining, but the longer it stays away the more I feel like I'll get pregnant without knowing it haha!

I have the Mirena IUD. I had a lot of spotting at first, but that has stopped. No real period yet, hopeful the combo of BFing and Mirena will let me hold off on AF for a long time!!

jamiah18 · December 2012

Not yet for me.

GracieBlue · December 2012

Nothing here

mylittlesunshine · December 2012

Not yet. With DD1 i got it back when we started solids at 6 months so I am wondering if it will come back when we start solids in the next month or so.

mkflower3000 · December 2012

I did around 4 months, but I was surprised that it came back so early because I also EBF! My mom's didn't come back with me until I was 8 months old, though, and she supplemented.

I did two weeks ago unfortunately and it made my supply tank, so I started taking Fenugreek. I hope it doesn't come back anymore while I'm BFing.

piedpiper07 · December 2012

I haven't. We have been doing solids since 4 months but I also have mirena. So who knows! I did have some spotting a few times but that's it.

Zilelabelle · December 2012

I got mine back at month 2. Guess I'm one of the 'lucky' ones.

haven't had any supply problems from it though.

acbfreire · December 2012

no signs yet

jess9802 · December 2012

I haven't gotten mine either. I've had one or two random days of light spotting on the minipill, but that's it. It surprises me too since I work outside the home and pump, and I've heard that's not as effective as preventing ovulation.

Starbear06 · December 2012

Yes I got mine back around month 4 when I was pumping more than nursing. It did affect my supply. I got it one more time after that buy hasn't been really consistent. It was really heavy for me but I'm normally a heavy bleeder anyways

nikkks84 · December 2012

i just finished mine and it was very heavy

gatsbygirl · December 2012

Nope. I keep thinking it's going to show up soon as I've had all the signs (bloating, blemishes, tummy tenderness) but nothing yet. We start solids next week so hopefully that will kick start things.

EMOmamma · December 2012

Not yet. I have Mirena too though.
With DS I got it about 6 weeks after I weaned from the pump, EPed. I had 2 before I got pg again. I remember it coming back with a vengeance, heavy with serious cramps.

zinkyn14 · December 2012

I haven't gotten mine yet. I really don't miss it at all.

This.

anonsouthernbell · December 2012

No

with ds I didn't get it back until 10.5 months postpartum. I'm hoping to beat that this time around

kincaid44 · December 2012

None here

champ579 · December 2012

Nothing for me!

laoch101 · December 2012

Nope and I supplement about a bottle a day and started solids.

strawberrytree · December 2012

Nothing here. I am not on any BC and we started offering some solids [we do BLW] around a month ago.

Sawyerplus1 · December 2012

Yep. DS is EBF (not even a bottle yet) and I got my period back by month 3, for sure. But my kids tend to sleep longer stretches early on, which gives my body time to start producing the necessary hormones again.

seunrine · December 2012

No, I have not. I nurse at home, pump at work. He's also started taking some solids (since Thanksgiving). I've been on a BC pill since about 6 weeks postpartum.

mchafin · December 2012

I EBF and I got my first one about a month ago. It was very heavy with PAINFUL cramps, but it didn't last very long.

snicksnack · December 2012

I got mine back last month. I was hoping it would stay away but I am pretty sure I ovulated this month. With both my kids it seemed to return once they started sleeping 12 hours on a regular basis

Yep. I have had two now and they are SUPER heavy. I actually freaked out and went to my OBGYN the first time because I thought I was hemorraging! Nope. Just my period coming back. I EBF and have the paraguard and never thought I would get it so early.
