I was not ready for the how heavy it was... oh and the mood swings prior to starting. Ugh - I'm not ready for that again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968805 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 09:44:51 +0000 BlueWolverine 1968805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crazy heavy. All of them. I had to throw out many pairs of undies as I (and all the feminine hygiene products) was unprepared for the onslaught. Really awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968734 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 09:02:22 +0000 Pumuckl 1968734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first period post partum was crazy heavy and the ones following were very similar to the ones pre pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968684 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 08:06:27 +0000 Ash 1968684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was so heavy pp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968682 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 08:04:38 +0000 catomd00 1968682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still ebf and have had 2. Both were typical of what they were like before, except my cycle was a little longer (49 vs 36 days) so we will see what happens this cycle. Oh and I should add I am not using any birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968676 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 07:56:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 1968676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so not looking forward to this. Still no period 16 months pp, but she just dropped to two nursing sessions a day so wondering if that will do it. Or maybe ill be free until she weans altogether. It's been 25 months since I had one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968626 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 03:45:22 +0000 anonysquire 1968626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The couple periods I had were regular! Well more regular than before. Mine came back 10 weeks pp though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968623 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 03:11:58 +0000 erwoo 1968623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My periods were SUPER heavy, like soaking through maxi pads. It was awful. Then it finally went back to normal after a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968605 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 00:58:11 +0000 littlejoy 1968605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's heavier, but less painful. Forgive me, but I'm thinking of trying the Diva Cup, because tampons just do not feel right anymore. Uhhh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968519 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:29:57 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1968519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968500 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:21:04 +0000 avivoca 1968500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: The only thing that makes me feel better is eating a lot of red meat. I guess because of the iron? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968484 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 22:06:35 +0000 Mrs. D 1968484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back on the pill post pregnancy before my period was back, so the worst I've ever experienced was the month before we conceived her in 2011. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968454 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:47:28 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1968454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, similar to @avivoca: I legitimately thought I was hemorrhaging when my period finally return (I mean, not at all funny at the time, but sort of funny to look back on now!) I soaked my pajamas, our sheets and mattress pad, my husband's favorite pair of sleep pants. Oops! I actually think it was bloodier than delivery. Sorry if that's TMI, but it was awful.</p> <p>The first few cycles were extremely heavy bleeding for the first two days, then very light for another two or three days after that. Pre-preg, I had consistently heavy bleeding for a week - not sure which I "prefer." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968447 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:42:24 +0000 MamaChin 1968447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine back right after we stopped cosleeping! I was still breastfeeding! This happened with LO1 too. I only had one period between them so I don't remember that last time but this time is just awful. Super heavy flow and cramps. I hope they get regular soon, from one to the next was 40 days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968430 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:23:29 +0000 MamaBehr 1968430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last kinda AF was 21 months ago, but my las regular cycle ended in 2009!!! I suppose the perk of having children close together? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968425 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:18:15 +0000 lilteacherbee 1968425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had one before I got pregnant again, but it was pretty horrible. Much more painful and heavy than pre-pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968417 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 21:12:06 +0000 avivoca 1968417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm sure you know my story, but my first pp period was a nightmare. It was like a murder happened in my pants and I honestly thought I was hemorrhaging. The ones since then have been more normal, but I will say my vag hurts a lot the first day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968397 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 20:57:40 +0000 Applesandbananas 1968397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one period postpartum and then got an IUD and have just had light, random spotting every once in a blue moon. Highly recommend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-baaaaaack#post-1968386 Tue, 02 Dec 2014 20:48:29 +0000 artsyfartsy 1968386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go away AF!</p> <p>My first one in over a year and a half. It only took 1 week of not breastfeeding for her to show up again. I forgot how bad this sucks. It's much more irregular than pre pregnancy and I never had any frontal cramps before but now they are all in the front. I used to only have aches in my back. The cramping isn't any more or less painful though. </p> <p>How did AF change for you after pregnancy? </p>
