I've had my period 2x a month since a month post partum. Still regulating my hormones, I guess. Not happy about it.
I have had two (8 weeks pp and 10 weeks pp) and I think I'm about to start the 3rd at 13! Glad I'm not the only one! The first was 4-5 days and the second was 9. I'm hoping this pattern doesn't continue for long...
I'm 18 weeks pp, ebf, and just started having light brown spotting for 3 days now. I didn't get my period until 9 months with DD1, and it was heavy the first time. Is this my period "trying" to come back? Anybody have spotting first and then no period for a while? I was really hoping I'd have a bit longer. At first I freaked out thinking it was implantation spotting (Isn't ebf and pull-out foolproof?????
I had lower abdominal cramps and pink fluid after one wipe a couple days ago, then nothing. Last month I had spotting for all of a minute, then nothing... Who knows. Because of the BC we use, there is no way I'm pregnant. Just confused...

DD is 22 weeks and I EBF. I had spotting for 3 or 4 days around (I think?) 16 weeks PP. It hasn't come back and I haven't gotten my period yet either.
I've had 2 periods only 20 days apart. DS is 21 weeks and I Nurse/pump exclusively. I just realized that my last period was 5 weeks ago. For the love of everything, let this be a long cycle and I get my period soon. This mama is not ready for #3.

I'd been pretty regular, then was suddenly 10 days late. We had a bit of a freak out, too! Our kids don't need to be QUITE that close in age. FX you get it soon.
@beccamccann same boat here! I'm enjoying it while it lasts, but scared of what's going to happen when it finally does arrive! Also, worried about what this may mean when it comes time to try for #2.
@beccamccann My EBF SIL's cycle didn't start until about 18 months PP last time around, and I have heard similar stories from other women. Not sure how "common" it is, but it does happen. Mine came back at 8 weeks PP and that is pretty early for BFing. It's clearly not "one-size-fits-all".
@beccamccann DS just turned ten months and still no period here. Have you night weaned already? Apparently nursing around the clock keeps the period at bay.

I wish. My little guy nurses all night long and I've been ovulating since 2/3 mos pp.
Thank you ladies! I'm glad I am not the only one. I am with you @kitkat8713, I am enjoying not having my period back but a little nervous for when she shows up!
@redselig no night weening for us...boobs are the only thing that puts L back to sleep. Hope I don't have to keep doing this until she is 5 lol
I am still nursing at night but the amount of milk she drinks each time she nurses in the day seems less now that she eats bigger portions of solids. I just got my first period about 9.5 months PP but it was pretty quick and light. Not sure if I'll get on a regular cycle now...
I started my actual period a week PP. It was heavy for a few days then it went back to normal. I have irregular periods. I had mine pretty early. I'm on the depo now and awaiting for my period to return, it's been a couple of months now, and nothing. I got my depo recently this month and they didn't tell me if I was pregnant or not and got an updated pap. I'm starting to worry. They gave me the depo anyway.
