Have you gotten your period back yet? If so how many weeks pp did it start?

khammond3 · June 2014

Got mine yesterday at exactly 11 weeks pp.

AcaAwkward · June 2014

Nope.

With DD, it didn't come back for a year. Almost on the dot -- I think I was buying tampons while shopping for her party!

heids4787 · June 2014

Not here yet at 10.5 weeks pp. I see it as a nice little reward for my nips being turned into steel and for all those MOTN feedings. Thank you Mother Nature - this is one thing you definitely got right!

chichi589 · June 2014

Nothing yet he was 11 weeks yesterday

cjpell0 · June 2014

Not yet and LO is 13 weeks

strawberrytree · June 2014

Nope. With DS1 it came back the day before he turned 1.

bootsiebabe · June 2014

Nope. 14 weeks pp.

khammond3 · June 2014

Why am I the only unlucky one

steph1977 · June 2014

Not yet - almost 10 wks pp. Sorry!

babym6705 · June 2014

Scared to type this because I don't want to jinx it but I'm almost 10 wk pp & no.

aml+japan · June 2014

Nope. With DD1 it came back around 11 months. I didn't even know it could come back this early -- DH and I had unprotected sex last night! *smacking head*

rockstarlaw · June 2014

no - but don't feel too bad. I still have occasional spotting, though quite infrequent. I'm 6wks, almost 7wks, PP

Holljade · June 2014

Yep. I got it right at 7/8 weeks

With DD I got it around the same time (I was transitioning between pumping and formula though so I thought that had something to do with it)

@khammond3 - You're not. Mine started at 9 weeks PP. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. We're trying to do LAM family planning - I only breastfeed, I offer him my breasts for comfort, he's never taken a pacifier, we don't supplement with anything, and I don't pump. Not sure why my period started so early. AND, it was really watery, which is apparently a sign of a deficiency, but all of my lab tests are normal...

RedBird11 · June 2014

Not yet at 8 weeks PP

cmatteis · June 2014

Mine started just before 7 weeks pp. I couldn't believe it started so soon bc of hearing how ebf can delay it like many of he ladies who posted.

momofmanyinthemitten · June 2014

I got mine at 5 months with both of my older 2. We started solids at 4 months.

Manda+panda · June 2014

12 weeks and nothing yet.

Dixon813 · June 2014

Almost 10 weeks and on the mini pill and not yet.

KatieGummow · June 2014

I got the mirena put in and am now on my period. Bummer! Started at 9w PP

erikaja6 · June 2014

Not yet - 10 weeks pp. With DS1, I didn't get mine until I stopped breastfeeding him at 11 months.

Jessimax · June 2014

I was about 8 months pp with DS. Was suppose to get mirena put it this week but I cancelled because I didn't want it to make my periods start earlier.

Yogini6911 · June 2014

No not yet...12 weeks pp

Sisimama10 · June 2014

Yes at 10 weeks pp.

michaelad3 · June 2014

I'm 8 weeks pp, and I haven't started yet. Question for all you STMs: were you on hormonal bc at all before your period returned? Just curious if that makes a difference

Dianakdee · June 2014

Nope I'm 10 weeks pp...

HNRomance · June 2014

not yet knock on wood. 9 wks pp

abbeylanecb · June 2014

I'm on my second one. She will be 3 months on the 1st. It's very annoying.

smashton14th · June 2014

Yes! I got mine at 3-4 weeks PP. I was so upset because that was the bonus last time with my DD. (Not getting my period for 9 months!) Now i have Mirena so we will see if i still have it in a year.

hordol · June 2014

I got mine around 8 week pp, about a week after I had my Mirena put in. I also started back at work and have been pumping and I don't think my pump drains my breasts properly.

J&NL · June 2014

I haven't gotten mine yet and I got my mirena at 8 weeks.

homediva · June 2014

Nope! With DS1 I got it at 5 months pp. Make sure you stock your diaper bag with supplies just in case! I was at a squash tournament with my husband with nothing. I felt like an unprepared 12 year old.
