LO is EBF (~4x a day) and STTN. I'm sure I'm in the minority and actually want my period to come back. I want to start using my CBEFM for #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025610 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:30:00 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1025610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was ebfing and got it at 11 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025582 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:13:10 +0000 Veggiemama 1025582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes at 4-5 months with both kids and while EBF, both had been STTN for awhile already so I was (unpleasantly) surprised both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025542 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:46:08 +0000 Sunshine710 1025542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes at 6mo and still bf at 13.5 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025517 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:35:02 +0000 Lindsay05 1025517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldnt vote because I got it at 5 months. However, bf'ing pretty much had gone to crap at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025497 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 21:26:18 +0000 Giraffe 1025497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 12.5 months pp, still breastfeeding, still no period. I can count on one hand the number of times C has slept through the night, so that may have something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025430 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:49:18 +0000 emg86 1025430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 3.5 months old and I also had some spotting about a week ago. I just tried nursing her more often/comfort nursing and the spotting stopped. She does usually sleep through most of the night though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025428 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:48:23 +0000 immabeetoo 1025428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I assume I will at some point but 8.5 months and nada. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025422 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:45:36 +0000 Smurfette 1025422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I have. I have had some spotting but I have an IUD, so my spotting night have been my period. Waiting to see if it shows up in 28 days again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025408 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:34:47 +0000 pastemoo 1025408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: We are also waiting on AF to talk more seriosly about TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025384 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:24:01 +0000 PrincessBaby 1025384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: Apparently I'm the AF outcast. I am 8.5 months PP and have yet to see a spot of anything even though LO has been STTN for a month now.... We are ready to ttc #2 but now we have to wait on AF...that mean old Ho!</p> <p>I am jealous of your spotting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025383 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:23:16 +0000 pastemoo 1025383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@maybebaby: It's also genetics and luck. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025370 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:18:16 +0000 swedishfish 1025370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 weeks old and I'm breastfeeding.

So weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025344 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:11:48 +0000 sslm 1025344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't gotten mine yet, LO is 4 months. My sister got her period 4 weeks pp and she was ebf'ing!!! Madness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025338 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:11:01 +0000 coastmama 1025338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did around 3-4 months pp. LO still is not STTN, so that wasn't it. Didn't start solids until 5.5 months. I guess I just got unlucky. It didn't affect my supply though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025337 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:11:01 +0000 maybebaby 1025337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: Hmmm hoping this is just spotting. I was hoping one of the wonderful "side effects" of BFing would be no period! I have no supplies on hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025334 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:09:02 +0000 mrsjazz 1025334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine when LO was 9 months. We are still BFing and when I get my period my supply does dip but only while I have it, it goes right back up after it's over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025331 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:07:27 +0000 pastemoo 1025331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YOu can get it while BFing, especially if you have 5 or fewer nursing sessions per day or with introduction of solid foods.<br /> I'm lucky/unlucky in that we introduced food at 4 months but still nurse on demand and still not period at nearly 15 months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025329 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:06:32 +0000 bpcmarj 1025329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine when she was right around a year old, after she started STTN and stopped nursing at night. She previously coslept and nursed literally all night long. My supply does drop a little bit before my period, and she just nurses more on those days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025322 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:04:35 +0000 chopsuey 1025322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 7 months pp with DD. I don't think it affected my supply.<br /> I know people who have gotten it back right away while EBF. </p> <p>I spotted around the same time as you, but no AF and still no AF at almost 8 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-bfing-did-you-get-your-period#post-1025318 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 20:01:05 +0000 maybebaby 1025318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And when? I am only 11 weeks PP and starting to spot--I am really hoping this isn't my period! I am EBFing. Can getting your period while BFing? Does it affect your supply?</p> <p>Did you get your period while BFing, and if so, when? </p>
