BF mamas

surpriseaddition · March 2014

Anyone else not have AF yet? My LO is 10 months 1 week and it's still a no show. I'm having a lot of heaviness in my uterus, so I think it may be coming, but nothing yet. For those who had it....did you have this heaviness beforehand?

schawla27 · March 2014

I am still BF'ing and haven't had it yet either. I am happy to have one less thing to worry about!

blush64 · March 2014

I am still breastfeeding and I still don't have my period. I love the break but I hope it returns in time for me to have one morw baby.

It didn't return for well past a year with my sons. That was so long ago I don't recall how I felt just before it returned.

JoJo716 · March 2014

Nope not for me either. Side note: if you are ready to ttc (we are in May), do you just temp and use opk's to find out when or if you are ovulating?

Angela183 · March 2014

Not here either, which is fine by me! There were a few times I thought it was coming, but I was wrong. I realized I haven't had a period since August 2012!

emmy236 · March 2014

I have had two. One in January, nothing in Feb than one in March. Holy moly it was awful. I retained a ton of fluid and then it was the heaviest period of my life. I do have an IUD though. After the first one my supply tanked literally overnight.

jesselayne8 · March 2014

No period yet. With my first child I didn't have one until I completely weaned and it was awful. I thought I would need a blood transfusion.

kmcd23 · March 2014

None yet.

bumpuser3155624 · March 2014

I hate you all!! Mine came back at 5 months PP. Makes my supply dip for about a week and a half.

fancefpp · March 2014

Nope, no period here either

kcwnc · March 2014

Mine came back yesterday, 10 months 1 1/2 weeks pp. Started off heavy and now it's almost nothing but I've felt it coming for weeks now, cramps galore. We are planning on ttc in June so I'm glad it's back.

jedimindtrick · March 2014

Mine came back Thurs. I had tons of pressure and heaviness a couple weeks ago and actually scheduled a dr appt that I later canceled because of weather. Now I'm pretty sure that what it was. Ovulation and shit getting back to normal

jedimindtrick · March 2014

My supply tanked about 4 days before too

krazyinsane · March 2014

So jealous!!!! I breastfeed for 13-14 months but as soon as we intro solids Aunt Flo comes to visit!!!

PumpkinAndThePeanut · March 2014

No period yet - but these stories are scaring me a little!

Kashy · March 2014

Got mine 6 months pp. I'm on cycle 6 now.....ugh....
Now my cycles are 2-3 days shorter then before, that kind of sucks. BUT the plus side is that I have absolutely no pain anymore. No cramps, no backaches, nothing, it is awesome.

bumpuser8130818 · March 2014

Nope. No AF here.

sarajim06 · March 2014

None here either at 10 months 2 days. It came back around 9 months with DS.

Cgoode517 · March 2014

Still BFing and none here either.

jayro10 · March 2014

I'm still BFing and I've had a period every month since last September. I get a headache before it starts and my supply definitely drops for several days. No heaviness though, and no cramps. But the first day is so damn heavy, I feel like I'm in a horror movie.

Lolalipsy · March 2014

I'm still breastfeeding and no AF yet (9mo19d).

Edit: I haven't felt any heaviness yet just seem to get a really bad headache.

telicious2 · March 2014

I have had AF since 3 months pp bc I got an IUD.

bhjones1980 · March 2014

I got mine back in January at 9 months PP, I have had two, the first was pretty light, the second more normal to my pre pregnancy flow. No cramps though which is nice.

Shoegal36 · March 2014

I got mine back around 6 months, when she started eating solids.

nolabelle10 · March 2014

I got mine back at 6 months pp. S was nursing a lot less, so that seemed to bring it back. Now, at 9 months pp, I'm quite late and wondering if a) it is delayed as she is suddenly eating more, b) it is delayed due to work stress, or c) it could be a BFP.

mytinc · March 2014

Mine came back 5 months pp and the first was one really heavy flow. The following 2 months the flow was back to normal but my cycle was off (5 weeks or so instead of 4 weeks). Got a BFP in January and the dating ultrasound did show that I ovulated late. My supply was dipping each month. Now that I'm pregnant it's practically in the toilet. I'm happy for a huge freezer stash since I originally had an oversupply, but I don't think I'll be able to make it to my year goal. I'm only pumping about 40% of what he eats at daycare right now.

MeeksandMads · March 2014

9 months and a week or so, and nothing yet. And I only Bf in the am, and pump once in evening now, so I really expected it to come back. Don't mind the break, but hope it is back by August

watuzzigal · March 2014

I got one at 7 months (felt cramping and bloating for a week, felt nothing for a week, and then bled), but I've had nothing since (just past 9 months now).
