My first cycle was also pretty long for me-- almost 38 days. After that first one, my period's have been longer than pre-baby, but lighter. 5.5 months since the first post-baby period, and my cycle is still sorting itself out, but it's getting pretty close to how things were before I had X. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-period-after-bf-ing#post-704005 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:57:34 +0000 chopsuey 704005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I got mine back at 7 months pp despite nursing! PEriods were lighter than usual and my cycle was a lot longer than usual too. I think I got my period back every 40 something days before I got pregnant with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-period-after-bf-ing#post-704003 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:57:12 +0000 ninja 704003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got my first pp period at 5.5 months, and it was the same as you describe. Short and light. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-period-after-bf-ing#post-703998 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:25 +0000 brownie 703998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In order to do IVF, we have to be done breastfeeding for 2 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-period-after-bf-ing#post-703994 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:53:57 +0000 pinkcupcake 703994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just got my period back about three days ago (went almost two yrs without one thanks to my milk monster!). My periods used to be long -like around 7 days - but this time, it was really light and barely lasted three days. Is this normal? Did it take awhile for your periods to regulate? </p>
