First PP period at 9 months

Sorry for the tmi, I think I've started my first period pp today.  About 2 weeks ago I was feeling crampy, got a little of my sex drive back haha, and broke out around my chin (haven't had a pimple since lo was born!).  So I kind of assumed I may be getting my period soon, since lo is eating more solids and less bm.  Must have been ovulation cramping, bc today I'm not cramping at all.  I'm expecting some serious cramps after what Ive heard from others on the boards lol! My mom seems to think I should have got my period back much sooner, but I'm pretty sure I've read that people get it back at all different times right?  Just wondering when others did, I made it to 9 months with no period so I'm not complaining! I'm expecting a drop in supply, so I'm drinking mothers milk tea to help.  Did anyone else feel like your sex drive returned after this?  I haven't had much since lo was born. TIA!

Re: First PP period at 9 months

  • It's very normal to not get it back while bfing, until months pp.

    I did get my sex drive back both times about 8 months pp and got Af at 6 months then 3 months pp.

  • I got mine back at 7 months pp with DS1 and 11 months pp with DS2. I wouldn't say my sex drive came back..maybe a sex bicycle ride..but definitely not a drive! :)

  • I got my AF back with DD1 at either seven or eight months and I am just six weeks pp with DD2, so I am hoping I won't get AF back for longer this time, but we will see what happens.
