First PP period?

Icarriedawatermelon · January 2014

I'd like to apologize for asking such a personal question. I try not to ask TMI questions, but I'm wondering how long it took for your first post partum period to arrive. I am 8 weeks PP from a vaginal delivery and am not breast feeding. At my 6 week appointment, my doctor said everything healed nicely and was back where it should be. He also said that I should expect my period any time. That was 2 weeks ago and there's no period in sight. I feel like a 12 year old girl waiting for Aunt Flo to arrive for the first time.

I bf and had a c section and that thing still showed up at 6 weeks lol I was like are you kidding me! I also started birth control so I think it brought it on.

I'm 7 weeks post partum today, and think AF returned today. I haven't bled for 2 weeks, so I'm assuming it's AF. It's just WAY lighter than my usual first day...

I'm 11 weeks PP and haven't had it yet, yay! My OB said it could happen at anytime...very helpful

I got mine at 6 weeks pp after my c section and I'm ebf too.. Crappy Luck. It's also been way heavier and longer than my normal periods

6 weeks pp and I ff.... Have it right now and not happy about it... Just finishes healing and then this has to come? Sick joke in my opinion ha!

At 6 w pp I got done bleeding for over a week. C section and BFing. Now I don't think it's a period though, maybe the 6th week bleed thing. I think you'll still get your normal tells though like sore breasts or cramps so maybe watch for those.

Mine usually came on 4 weeks after my PP bleeding ended which varied from baby to baby.
I'm a c-section FF

Seven weeks pp and ebf here. No period and I hope it stays that way. Aunt Flo is not welcome here!

Ok, I'm feeling so much better. I'm almost 10wk pp and still nothing. I have been having a mini panic attack since we P&P.

I'm 9 weeks PP and at 8 weeks I had some light bleeding for 2 days. I thought that bitch was back- but I don't think so. I had a C-section and EBF. Imma be pissed if it comes back anytime soon!

I'm BF and I'm sure mine came at about 4 1/2weeks. All the bleeding had stopped then bright red for 4days and now nothing. Maybe it's because I was taking steroids for 10days for hearing loss? Who knows. I was excited to not have AF back for a while.

I'm 8 weeks PP and still nothing, I pimped for the first 6 weeks and switched LO to formula 2 weeks ago due to supply issues, hoping it comes soon or we may have another LO around the same time next year

I am 10 weeks pp and EBF and I think mine came back yesterday - I'm so sad because I thought I'd have more time without, especially since I have two friends who are 6 months pp and haven't had theirs yet!

Kim22 · January 2014

I didn't get it back until 6 weeks after stopping breastfeeding with my first two and I was supplementing with both. This time I'm EBF so it better not come back for a while!

8w PP and I'm still bleeding... Although I think its because I got the IUD (I was barely spotting when I got it, and have since been bleeding every. damn. day.)... My MW told me AF might not return for 6 months because I'm EBF, but there's no guarantee (that doesn't look like its spelt right?)...

I'm at 10 weeks and EBFing and no period yet.
