I had a lot of EWCM for at least a week before AF and wondered if I was ovulating. Like @Mamaof2: my bleeding was heavy but the cramping I usually have during the bleeding (as in usually bad enough to need a heating pad) was totally gone!

Mines came back at 3 months pp and as you know I EBF but I didn't have any clue it was coming on. I just went to the bathroom and surprise there she was. Now I'm on my 3rd in three months and they have been all over the place and no warning either time. I was already regular before having N but now they are all over but they are still the same as before as far as cramping and flow goes. I hope she stays away for a long time for you

I had some cramping a while ago an thought she was coming, but nothing, then a few weeks ago had ewcm and thought she was coming, still nothing. I EBF and c is one year, still no AF! Woohoo! (Since we are not even thinking about ttc again until next year I'm quite happy about this). My sister was the same, no af until her son was completely weaned.

Mine sucked pp. I was on the mini pill to breast feed. I bled every two weeks on that pill. I'm recently off a combo pill to TTC. My period came back perfectly at 28 day cycle. My body seemed to rebound well pp minus the worst pill I've ever taken.

I'm EBF and just got AF back at 13.5 months. I've been kind of crampy for the last few months, but this time I totally knew when I ovulated (really tender abdomen, tons of EWCM) so I was expecting her to show.

The first day was pretty heavy but after that it was OK. It lasted 4-5 days, which is pretty usual for me. We'll see if my cycles are regular.

I had normal cramping/spotting before AF just like my pre-baby cycles. Mine came back at about 6 weeks, but I wasn't BFing. My first period wasn't too bad. I've heard people say that the first period was horrendous, but I didn't think so. More clots than usual, but nothing horrifying. I will say, though, that 18m PP & my periods are still not regular (they're awful). I think that my body is just changed forever & it suuuucks.

Oh and PS it wasn't bad -- my periods actually got lighter and shorter after having my kids!

mine were ridiculously heavy. the heaviest of my life! it was so bad that i decided to go back on bcp and have remained on it.

I was absolutely convinced I was pregnant when AF showed up for the first time 12m pp. I was crampy, bloated, I felt pressure in my uterus when I sat down, even had some weird food aversions for a week. Then she suddenly showed up and it all made sense. It wasn't too different from pre-baby overall though.
