I took a test. I was 11 days late. It was negative and I was relieved. And today I started so I'm just on a wonky schedule too ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1457999 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 12:38:18 +0000 septca 1457999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pp AFs have also been wonky... long, with late O, and my first pp LP was super short (it has gotten longer each cycle since, thankfully). Weaning/going longer between feedings can also cause drastic hormonal shifts which can make you feel nauseous or mess with your cycles.</p> <p>I would POAS, but not stress too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1457890 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 12:00:26 +0000 NurseMommy 1457890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I've only had three (got my first Christmas Eve ;)), first two were 38 days apart, second and third were 28. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1457869 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 11:50:55 +0000 MusicaV 1457869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: I think it's because your hormone balance changes when your LO goes longer between feedings. I think that's what I heard.</p> <p>I got my period just before 6 months pp, then 9 months and regular since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1457283 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 09:16:55 +0000 jh524 1457283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: too funny. I also got my 1 st pp period on Christmas Day......nice present, right?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1457271 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 09:14:40 +0000 jh524 1457271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: thanks! So how does a change in babys feeding schedule make you ovulate? I'm confused ....and nauseous... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456928 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 02:14:21 +0000 London Mama 1456928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first cycle pp was 28 days but after that they were irregular for 3-4 months or so until it settled down to a 31 day cycle, which is longer than before pregnancy. </p> <p>I did take a few pregnancy tests along the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456922 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 01:48:42 +0000 Sapphiresun 1456922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my first PP period (if it could even be called that since it only lasted day and was really light) at Christmas, and it hasn't returned again yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456912 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 01:26:34 +0000 Mrs. M 1456912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came back and then skipped 2 months until it was regular again while bf'ing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456866 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:15:56 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1456866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My periods have been wonky since I get them PP. I had a few long cycles and the rest have been on the shorter side. I think it's pretty normal but be wary if your baby has any changes in their feeding schedule you can ovulate and become pregnant before seeing a period. Happened to my mom five months after I was born and then came my sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456856 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 00:03:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1456856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i got it 16 months pp and nursed til 26 months. my period was so irregular and heavy and i hated it... so i went on the pill. taking the pill sucks but at least i'm regular and my period is so much lighter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456740 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 22:36:34 +0000 jh524 1456740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey, @Veggiemama: thank you ladies<br /> I'm hoping it's just gonna show a little late this month. Not really prepared to be pregnant again. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456663 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 22:08:46 +0000 Veggiemama 1456663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time it came at 5, 6 and 8 months pp then again at 10 months which is when we got pregnant with #2. The second time it came at 5 months again but was regular for every month after that. I EBF for both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456603 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 21:54:50 +0000 chopsuey 1456603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine were both regular after AF returned at 7 and 8 months pp.<br /> the first time around I was on a 40-42 day cycle.<br /> the second time around 28 days for 5 cycles, and I had a random 34 day cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/after-the-1st-pp-period-did-the-following-periods-continue-irregular-while-bf-ing-or-we#post-1456592 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 21:53:04 +0000 jh524 1456592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm kinda worried because I've been expecting AF but still no sign. I haven't been tracking it, this will only be my 3rd pp period so I'm wondering if they can irregular. Can they come one month and then not come and that be normal? I'm still bf-ing... </p>
