I had my first one 7 weeks PP and while I was just starting my birth control. It lasted a week but I haven't had one since. The BC I'm taking is constant (jolivette) so I might not even get a period again unless I stop it
Got my first period PP at 12 weeks. It wasn't the worst period ever, but was still uncomfortable on Advil. I am allergic to pads though so that sucked. Used a tampon even though it hurt, a couple times, to bring some relief to my reaction! Anyone else having pains with tampons?

Are you using the same size tampon you did pre pregnancy? Try going down a size if you are. They make lights and ultra lights that are very thin if you're having discomfort with super or regular. Because the absorbency is lower you might have to change them more often.

That's a really good idea, actually!! Thanks!! I'll try that next time! I use a regular size and always Platex Sport (really the only tampon I used to find comfortable.) I have never seen it in light though....
So I was pretty sure I had my first pp period at 5 weeks, I had stopped bleeding for a few weeks and then all the sudden was very crampy and bleeding for 5 days then fine again. My dr confirmed it was probably my period and to get on bc quickly. Then last month as my "period week" approached I got very crampy again but never bled. I actually got really nervous I was pregnant and took a test that was negative. I just figured maybe I haven't had my period yet afterall. But right now I am up on "period week" again and feeling horribly crampy but NO bleeding still. What gives? Can you have a period with no blood?

Your system is probably working itself out! Give it some time! It might even be the birth control!
I had my first PP period 8 weeks out (DD born 12/14/15) and have yet to have my second one. Is anyone else late/is this normal? I am a first time mom, so idk about any of this.

Tampax makes Tampax Active in lights, I don't know how they compare to each other but, they are one of the only ones I find comfortable.
Hopefully things are trying to get underway period-wise. Last week I had really bad cramping and spotted twice, I was expected to start but so far nada. Haven't even had cramping since then, either. I know breastfeeding and pregnancy can screw things up and hopefully that's all it is.
So glad I'm not alone! But I think I'm in the minority because I want it to come...it would be nice to know I'm fertile again! This little girl needs a sibling
My daughter is 3 months and I still haven't gotten my period. I thought I was getting it about a month ago. It lasted half a day but that was it. I am breastfeeding so I may not get it for awhile. I'm not complaining lol. Its sure been nice without it all this time!
Enjoy it while you can, ladies. I'm on my 2nd PP period and I forgot how amazing it was to not have one for almost a year! Although I do love the reassurance that I'm not pregnant again already.
13 weeks PP, EBF, no BC and no period yet hooray! However I've been having discharge ever since my post partum bleeding stopped. Anyone else?
Yes! Exact same here. Almost to 13 weeks PP, EBF, no BC yet, no period yet. Weird discharge actually..but I go to get the skyla put in next Thursday. Will see what OB says then..I did bleed for 8.5 weeks PP though so that was really annoying.
I just started a few days ago at 14w PP. It was light spotting then gets heavier as the days go by. This morning I had two HUGE clots. Anyone clotting like crazy? I saw the doc this morning and she ordered a blood draw to test my hcg levels and I have a transvaginal ultrasound next week. But wtf uterus. What's with the clots!!!
Sorry is if TMI but I was just wondering if anyone else still feels uncomfortable with tampons? I tried using light ones and they were still uncomfortable even though I had a c section btw!
@BrookeBrown2015 They are uncomfortable for me as well. I always used the Playtex sport tampons before but just bought some different ones to see if maybe that would help . I'm hoping it will go away with time!
Hello, Fertility Friend!! I am 21 weeks, 5 days pp and it's been 14 months since my last CD1.
Y'all, I almost don't know what to do with myself. Cannot say I've missed it but I am a little excited to start tracking again as DH and I mull the possibility of expanding our family.
18 weeks pp and still no period. DD is EBF and not taking birth control either. I admit it's been nice not having it. But kinda makes me nervous that it has not returned.
DD is 5 months today. I bf and pump at work. Still no period. I'm also on mirena so I probably won't have one. This is Baby #4 and this has been normal for me with each one. My longest was with my son. He was 18 months old before my period came back.
I had to stop bf due to medication : ( and got 1st period about 3 weeks later. It wasn't too bad though..shorter than they used to be. But how weird is it having a period after 14 months!?
Ugghh the witch returned 5.5 months post partum and still EBF. I had been feeling really grouchy this weekend and my husband asked if I was going to be starting it soon and I told him no I'm breastfeeding not possible
Re: First PP period
I'm definitely not complaining
Because the absorbency is lower you might have to change them more often.
