I guess congratulations are in order. I still haven't forgiven that witch for sticking her nose in while I was TTC, Im not ready to see her again for a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-845731 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:14:37 +0000 tororojo 845731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I keep worrying that AF has returned...but I think it's just air bubbles coming out...my life is so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-845120 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:42:14 +0000 rattles 845120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha, congrats on feeling like everything's back up and running, but mostly I'm commenting because you reminded me of when my little sister got her first period. She accidentally bought Depends instead of pads, and my mom made her go back in and exchange them! Can you imagine how mortifying that would be for a tween?! Now it makes me laugh out loud, but what was my mom thinking? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-845103 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:38:50 +0000 DillonLion 845103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I have had no cramps so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-845084 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:35:01 +0000 swurlygurl 845084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I'm going to be sad and excited. I don't miss the cramps, but it will be nice to know when my body is planning to try to make babies again so I can be on the lookout!</p> <p>@highwire: I also don't have any supplies! I had a friend over who asked to borrow a tampon and I was like 'uuumm... I actually don't have anything! It's been soooo long' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-844969 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 13:04:27 +0000 Boogs 844969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol I love how excited you are! I was so sad when mine returned, but it does feel great to know everything still seems to be working fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-844904 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 12:45:35 +0000 Periwinkle 844904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're too funny! I totally get the "womanly" thing! I am still waiting (7 months pp) and am kind of excited to get my body back in sync again soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-844888 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 12:39:09 +0000 Weagle 844888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was super excited about mine coming back too! I was beginning to wonder if my body had just stopped working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-844576 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:48:12 +0000 Alivoo01 844576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Seriously right!! </p> <p>Yay for you for your excitement on Aunt Flo's return! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-844559 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:43:02 +0000 regberadaisy 844559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahaha I think this is the most excited response to PP period to date! Go you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-af-after-baby#post-844552 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 10:41:45 +0000 DillonLion 844552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF is back (at 6.5 months PP)! I'm lame because I am excited about it. I'm glad to know things are back to normal down there. I thought my milk supply was tanking but I tried to be diligent about fitting in extra pump sessions and staying hydrated and things seem to be okay so far. We don't EBF, but we do about 50/50 BM and formula if anyone was wondering. </p> <p>But I feel like I am 11 years old again! I had zero tampons on hand since the last time I needed them was a year and a half ago and I was like....uh pads I guess? DH suggested I use some of the leftovers from when I gave birth and I was like "erm, my pants won't fit over those diapers"</p> <p>Then I went out and bought the totally wrong thing. What a noob mistake!</p> <p>I bought some off-brand cheapie super tampons. No dice, ya'll. They are too absorbent for what I've got going on. I need something smaller and less....dry. Ouch. TMI? I'm sorry. </p> <p>Anyway, periods always make me feel super womanly LOL. Hear me roar! </p>
