I'm just about 4 months postpartum. I am an EPer. I've read that if you are breastfeeding and LO starts to go longer stretches in between eating that your period could come. Since going back to work I've often had to extend times between pumps, so I'm guessing that could be the cause. I have mixed feelings on it... while I would have loved a few more months of freedom from my monthly foe, I'm kind of happy knowing it's back and we could start TTC whenever we want (which we were thinking of doing around 9 months - 1 year anyway since it took us over a year for success the last time).
I had my LO in November and the 1st time I got my period was at the end of December. I was breast feeding but I stopped a month and half ago. I just got my period for the 2nd time a couple days ago. It was HEAVY, sorry if TMI but I was going through tampons almost every couple of hours. It was much lighter today and I started birth control pills last night.
Re: Grrrr Period Returns
To answer your question, no mine hasn't returned.
I'm not sure about what experience you are looking to hear about.
