  • EBF and period around 4 mo pp. It lasted almost 2 weeks and was horrid :p Also did a number on my milk supply :( Not on bc pills at this point yet, and next period is late (NOT preg) I thinks it's going to be somewhat irregular for awhile.
  • I BF and pump and sporadically get my period. Some months it's light, some not at all, onetime superheavy for about a week. I do feel that my supply has been greatly affected.
  • @hampire I don't think Paragard will solve that problem (although I think it's an awesome option for BC). I had it with DD and didn't get a period until 11 mo pp. Have it again with DS and still no period.
  • Yes, one at 8 weeks PP but none since then (18 weeks PP tomorrow).

  • EBF 4.5 months no period. Between my ability to excessively eat and the no period thing...bfing is pretty awesome.
  • EPer and no period at 4 months :)
  • EBF, but had to go back to work 3 weeks ago... and I immediately ovulated and got my period two weeks later.  Obviously pumping 2-3 times per work day is not enough to keep my period away (read that like a poem).

  • EBF with paragard and no period yet. DD is five months tomorrow.





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump. 

  • Yes a few days shy of 5 months PP.

    Boo!! Does anyone have a birth control recommendation to skip periods? With my endo I don't even want to go down down that road again.

  • EBF and no PP period at 4.5 months. Not on any bc. Hoping it stays away for a while!
  • EBF and no period yet. With my first I didn't get it back until she was 11 months old.
  • EBF so far and no period. I thought I saw spotting a while back and again this morning though, and today my pumping-at-work output has been really low.

  • I am EBF and I got my first PP period when LO was 3 months and have been getting it regular since :( I never got one with my other kids while nursing.
  • My LO is almost five months and still no Aunt Flo. I BF my DD1 for 1 year and my first PP period with her was 11 months.
  • Ebf and have had 2 so far starting at 3 months. At least I haven't had any cramps with them! Still sporadic in days and length. No other bc either (ntnp)
  • I got an iud so I have spotting now. At this point I would have to guess "no" since it isn't regular, etc. I have no clue what's going on with my body. With my son I didn't get one till the month of his first birthday.

  • EPing and got my first at 4 months PP.  Wasn't as bad as I was worried about!  Only lasted two days and was lighter than my period ever was.  Here's hoping it stays that way!

  • I voted SS because I have no clue if I've had a "period" or not.  I seem to be bleeding every 2 weeks or so, but never as much as a real period (sometimes it's more like spotting for a few days, other times it's heavier but still not as heavy as a period).  Anyone else have anything like this?  It didn't happen after my son, my period came back at 6 months PP and came fairly regularly after that.

  • EP and no period in sight yet... yay!
  • I don't know what I had after I started the mini pill at about 8 weeks PP. It seemed heavier than just spotting, but I didn't have any cramps!!!! I EBF, so I'm hoping for just a little bit longer. Not looking forward to that coming back!
  • EBF and no period yet.  DS turned 5 months yesterday.

  • I had one period about five weeks pp but nothing since then. I feel symptoms every month when it is about that time, but then nothing...
