Btw, are you new? Or did you change your screen name?

She's been around a while. I recognize the name.

SS - I am leaning towards 'no'.
I had one day of bleeding (more than spotting, but less than a normal period) about a month ago. First bleeding since LO was born.
I'm just gonna have to wait and see of it happens again in a couple more weeks. If it does, then my answer will be 'yes'. Lol.

SS—yes, EBF 9 weeks PP.

Now it's gone again since I'm growing another tiny human.

EBF and no period yet.

I said no but I'm just not sure. I went on the pill around 3 months PP and hadn't had it yet by then. I had spotting 1to 2 times a month on the pill and just went off it this week. But I've got pcos and my cycles are nuts when I have extra weight on me as I do now, so who knows if and when it will show

I got mine back 4 weeks after birth.

Not only that, it is insane since I had Will. I have started a medication to make it lighter. It's crazy.

I got mine back at 3 weeks pp, so I feel your pain @babylimas‌ . I have Mirena, which has lightened my periods dramatically. It's great, except for the unpredictableness (not a word lol) of them.

EBF and no period

kimberpoo · December 2014

envious of the no's. I did, about a month after I totally stopped BFing. although it is much lighter than it used to be, yay! *knock on wood*

@kimberpoo‌
Last time around, at 9 months pp I would have said no if anyone asked. Little did I know...I was 3 months pregnant.

SurpriseAt39 that would have been such a crazy surprise!!!!!! definitely not envious of that kind of 'no', haha! it would be a blessing, but man, I don't know how I'd handle it. my hands are already so full with just one lo! hats off to you. supermom!

Ya. And even when I found out, it was just by chance. There was a lot of signs I never had that I blame on the fact I was still EBF DS1. I finally started to really show around 6 months when I decided to announce to our family's at Christmas. Lol.
It was fun.

If this medication doesn't work, I'm trying a Mirena next. I react really badly to birth control, so I am trying a medication that just limits bleeding and has nothing to do with hormones. I'm told it has pretty much no side effects. Awesome. Currently I'm going anemic thanks to my insane periods, so I need to do something to get it under control.
