I'm 5 months pp, and on cycle 2. Starting at 3.5 months started serious PMS symptoms and cramping. Then all of a sudden my supply tanked (it has since recovered) and boom at 4 months full-fledged period. This month's isn't so bad, mild PMS one day (I only really recognized it because DH and I got in a fight) and basically no cramping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1943594 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:53:20 +0000 Purpledaisy 1943594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get cramps and feel like I was going to start every couple of months PP. When I did eventually get my period back at 13 months PP I had absolutely ZERO symptoms. So, you never know. Hopefully this is just a false alarm :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1943512 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 16:10:56 +0000 coopsmama 1943512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for providing your experiences! While I hate the cramps reading your thoughts is giving me hope that maybe just maybe I have a bit longer before AF rears her ugly head ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1942668 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:29:33 +0000 MrsKoala 1942668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had crazy cramps around 4 months PP and I still don't have my period back yet at 9 months PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1942571 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:44:51 +0000 Mamaof2 1942571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramps for about 3 months before my period came back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1942566 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:43:39 +0000 Pirouette 1942566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had very mild cramps on and off for a few months starting around 7 months pp i think? AF came at 10.5 months and surprisingly my cramps were also very mild for the first one. it totally caught me off guard! (still BFing) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1942149 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 22:07:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1942149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: I have had similar- I had cramps and was pretty sure it was starting, then nothing, several times over the last few months. 15 months pp and still bfing and still no period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1942132 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:54:38 +0000 catomd00 1942132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had cramping for 1-2 weeks before AF arrived. I knew she was coming. I had one pp period so far and she hasn't been back since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1942061 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:08:16 +0000 catlady 1942061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably not helpful at all but I started getting symptoms like that around 5 or 6 months pp. They would come and go every few weeks for months! I thought I was going nuts. AF finally came back 11 months pp. I was breastfeeding the whole time so I'm sure that had something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramps-before-1st-period-pp#post-1941922 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 19:46:24 +0000 coopsmama 1941922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TMI alert, y'all! :) I'm almost 4 months post partum and have been having cramps on and off for the last week or so and have been having a lot of discharge (gag) like you do towards the end of pregnancy. I don't remember this before getting my first period after baby #1 but the cramps keep making me think AF is going to show up at any time. </p> <p>Did anyone else have PMS type symptoms for several weeks before AF made her arrival? </p> <p>I got my period 3.5 months after having number 1 so I wouldn't be shocked if she were to show up any time soon. I'm just tired of cramping and feeling like she should arrive at any time and not having her show! </p> <p>Any insight would be great. :) </p>
