PP Period

edoliesmom · October 2014

Have you gotten it yet?

thomas930 · October 2014

Nope! And it can stay away until I'm ready to get pregnant again!

Keckers · October 2014

Nope, and as much as I'm happy about it, it's kind of freaking me out. Especially since I'm EPing and not super diligent about my pumping schedule.

I have, but it's actually a million times better than it used to be. I used to get really awful and debilitating cramps, and now it last only 3 days and no pain! So I'm not going to complain

That's awesome!!

MissWhis · October 2014

EBF and it started 6 weeks postpartum. Not cool!

But like pp said, I used to have super bad cramps on the first day, but hardly any now. I think PMS is about eighty billion times worse these days, though.

mrscrcalli · October 2014

EBF and no period! *knocks on wood*

edoliesmom · October 2014

I think I'm gonna need to knock on a tree for 3 days straight just for making this poll.

RedBird11 · October 2014

SS because I haven't had it yet... but I am not happy dancing. I need my hormones to regulate because its messing with my Cochlear Hydrops (inner ear)

katy4128 · October 2014

Got mine about 3.5 months PP and it came back wayyyy worse then before.

zazu13 · October 2014

Yes, but only once because then I got a mirena and Only occasional spotting since.

Talltrees82 · October 2014

Got mine the beginning of August... And haven't since. A little nervous about the amount of time that has passed but keep putting off POAS (as I enjoy this glass of wine, ha ha!). Good news is that when I had my period, it was "normal" for me and I had no issues using tampons!

penguinjenny · October 2014

I got it month 3 PP then skipped month 4 and got it again month 5. I'm waiting to see if I get it this month.

Loving in solidarity.

I want mine back so I can start TTC again. I know technically we can start now, but my cycles were so all over the place before getting preg I just want to know our starting point, does that made sense?

RedDawnsRevenge · October 2014

I've always been irregular. But this is even more so. I'm tandem EBF got my first PP back at 6 weeks then skipped for 118 days, except for day 96 where is spotted for the whole week, so I'm not really counting it, and then now.

hordol · October 2014

I got mine shortly after I got mirena put in, even though I was ebf at that time. Have had two or three periods but haven't had one in awhile and I'm barely breastfeeding anymore. POAS just to make sure but nope!

MaglioMomma · October 2014

Nope, and I'm kinda wishing my body would get it's act together and reboot! I stopped breast feeding at 3 months pp... Helllllooo where are you? Poas twice, but no news! Like pp said, I'd like to have a starting point for when we start ttc again.

ksulli · October 2014

SS- bled for a few days about a week after mirena, so I can't say it was/wasn't. Seeing as how I needed hormone treatment to have a cycle before, I sorta doubt it's coming back until/unless I go looking for it.

chichi589 · October 2014

I expected it by now since I'm only BFing at night now but nothing yet. I got the nexplanon about 5 weeks ago so they said I may not get one it just seems strange to not. I hate wondering.

ambarnett1 · October 2014

Well, we all know what I chose, but before that I got a PP period at 6 weeks even with pumping.

AmberLiz99 · October 2014

Yes, but it's super light so far

Jessimax · October 2014

Was 8 months with DS1 but started after 4 with this one though, not pleased. I have had 2 so far and they were only 2 days long with no other symptoms so can't complain too much.

snowbound · October 2014

I got mine at 3mo pp. I had been in the hospital for two days and pumping so it could be coincidence? It's back to a regular 28 day cycle like clockwork.

katess84 · October 2014

I got mine when I went on the pill about 7 weeks PP. I just had my 4th period and I could finally use tampons! I was very happy about this.

I made that option just for you!

porterlove525 · October 2014

Truth is you can ovulate without a period so mine can just never come back, ever. That would be perfect.

Reality is I'm expecting it to come soon with only nursing evenings, mornings and weekends and pumping at work.

Really??? Because I'm pretty sure I've been ovulating. If not, I have no idea where this discharge is coming from (sorry if TMI!), and I'll have random bloating for a day sometimes.

nicole mackenzie · October 2014

I EBF (alrgough i pump at work 3 days.)

LO is 23 weeks and no period. I think I may either have ovulated recently or am going to soon. Had a little discharge, broke our a little...

I'm expecting ill start soon or when we start solids which is very soon anyways...

We are ntnp

hpanabaker · October 2014

I got mine 6 weeks pp and it went right back to my regular cycle.

babym6705 · October 2014

After DD1, my period came back at 6 wks and every 4 wks after that. She was FF though. With DS, I'm almost 6 months pp and no period. He is EBF. I'm hoping not to get my period until I wean him at the 1 year mark.

Helmink0804 · October 2014

I got mine about 4/5 wks PP and than I started my birth control spotted about a month later and haven't had it back since. Is that normal?

Kencran · October 2014

Got mine just three weeks ago.

LolaX2 · October 2014

Ugh I wish I didn't yet! I am EBF (pumping while at work) but mine returned/break through spotting on an off pretty much since PP bleeding stopped. So much for EBF keeping it away

It was pretty much the same when I had my DS only I had to EP pretty much form the start as he had too many latching issues. I had PP bleeding for about 7 weeks then PP period starting like 4 weeks later!

Silly me! I totally knew this but forgot!

I guess having my period makes it a bit easier to tract ovulation for me.

Yup. Totally true. Which is why they advise using BC even when EBF and without a period. Sadly it can go the other way too, you can have periods and not ovulate regularly.

Eta: and no worries on the TMI. Over on TTCAL we knew WAY too much about everyone's O pee sticks, discharge and fluids. My periods have always been lacking and few and far between, but my discharge was always indicative of O, like clockwork on CD18 for one ovary and CD 14 for the other.

I didn't realize ovaries could each have their own cycle... Interesting. :-?

smushi · October 2014

I've had one. Interested to see if t will happen again on time.
