AF already?!?!?!

  AF arrive exactly 6 months after DS was born for me. I BF for 3 months and then did both when I returned to work. AF really did not mess up my supply. I was able to continue to nurse and pump until I weaned DS at 1 year. Sorry to hear AF showed up so soon.

  With DS1 it was 5 months PP, but I bled for 9 weeks after he was born - it would taper off and then come back, but AF herself didn't make an appearance until he was 5 months.
  
  How long has it been since your PP bleeding stopped? Sorry she came back so soon, that stinks.

  Thank you ladies! The bleeding seems to have tapered off, so maybe it was PP bleeding returning. PP stopped about 2 weeks ago, so it wasn't my first thought, but maybe.
  
  @mamalamb10‌ - did a LC help get DS back to the boob? I kind of thought my window had closed for that, but would love to try and get the latch figured out if there was still time.

  I had PP bleeding for 6 weeks and it was extremely sporadic. I bled for maybe the first 5 days. Then nothing for a week. Then more bleeding. Some spotting here and there. Until I finally stopped wearing a pad around the 6 week mark. My OB said it was normal to have bleeding on and off and any bleeding (other than hemmorhaging or clots, etc) during the first 6 weeks was totally normal, even if it seems like it goes away and comes back. I hope it's not AF for you But I would call or discuss at your 6 week follow up if you're concerned.

  I had 13 weeks of PP bleeding after my c/s.  It went in spells, from almost nothing to AF-like flow.  I went back in at 10 weeks to get checked, when I was passing clots again.  It ended up to be just me, but my OB was worried about retained tissue.  True AF showed up at 4 months PP while EBF.

  I got mine at 7 weeks PP, but I think I was still bleeding at a month out from delivery! It would seemingly go away then randomly come back.

  Agree with others it sounds like PP bleeding still. The pumping should keep AF away the same way BFing does. Your body doesn't know the difference. I'm at 9 months PP and still no AF.
  
  There's someone from my BMB who EPed until 3 months and got baby back on the breast so it's possible!

  I EBF and AF returned last month when DS was 3 months old. No supply issues. Also, after I had DD, AF returned on a normal monthly cycle when she was 2 months old and I still EBF'd her for 13 months with no supply issues. I'm one of the "lucky" ones who gets to deal with a period when most don't while BFing. Sigh.
