Mine came back at 8 weeks and I'm EBF...WTF!?!? It really surprised me and I wasn't happy about it It was heavier than pre-pregnancy...but then again, I had to use provera to start AF when we were TTC. As weird as it sounds, I also kind of welcomed it b/c maybe that means my body will be better regulated (PCOS) than it was pre-pregnancy.
I ebf and with my first I never got it back and I got pregnant when she was14 months, I'm hopeing for the same this time around but I doubt I can get that lucky.
I'm 7 weeks PP and EBF and I had some cramping and light spotting right around 6 weeks. The good news: my MW told me that as long as I'm EBF, my period should only be spotty and not come back full blown. This is exciting news since my period Before LO was heavy and lasted nearly 2 weeks!! Thank heavens for small blessings! Also, this encourages me to BF for as long as possible, even though I want to drink all the Vodka
I have also been wondering about this. I'm 8 weeks PP tomorrow and have been spotting a little since my PP bleeding stopped. I wasn't sure if it was my period trying to start or what. We'll see. We are FF so I unfortunately will be getting AF back.
I'm EBF. I started spotting again (after only about 4 days without) the day before my 6 week check up. MW said it was likely still PP bleeding. It was time for my annual Pap smear so she went ahead and did that. Then I bled fairly heavy for 2 days and then nothing. I felt some period like crampiness around week 5, but I'd never really had a break in PP bleeding. Who the hell knows what is what. I'm getting an IUD put in Thursday, so who knows whether that will complicate things.
I mainly pump and supplement with formula due to supply issues. I'm 7 weeks PP, and I got my first PP period a couple days ago. At least I think it is. My PP bleeding had just quit, so it's hard to say. This is heavier than the spotting I was having, and accompanied by light cramping, so I'm assuming it's a period. It's still much lighter than my periods were pre-pregnancy, but it still sucks to be bleeding yet again.
I'm FFing. My PP bleeding probably didn't stop until like 4-5 weeks. I got a mirena placed at 6 weeks, like 3 days later I got AF. It's now 8.5 weeks and I think I'm going to need a freaking blood transfusion!!! Lol
EBF 6 wks postpartum and no AF yet. I just started the mini pill on Sunday and did have some spotting on Monday but thought that was bc DH and I have started messing around in preparation for doing the deed. My ob told me that the mini pill doesn't effect your cycle like the regular pill bc I had some concerns since my cycle was so messed up after being on the pull for 10plus years. However now I'm wondering bc of the spotting.
EBF, AF came back a few days after starting the mini pill at 7 weeks pp. I almost wish I hadn't started taking it. I didn't start birth control after DD1 because we were NTNP, and I didn't get AF back until a month after I stopped BF (around 9 months). Then I got KU two cycles later. It makes me nervous because I got KU with DD1 when I was on the normal pill, and the mini pill is less effective. I don't want to start trying for #3 until DD2 is a year old, and FI is kind of overwhelmed right now with 2.
