HAHAHA. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-447992 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:24:38 +0000 808love 447992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>32 months!<br /> Just started again yesterday. FF, here I come! ;D Glad to hear someone else in the same boat. And like you, we just recently took a chance, which we never do!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-447949 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:08:50 +0000 red_seattle 447949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Af returned at 11 months pp-- I kept thinking it would return sooner but it didn't so I was totally surprised when it did. The first was horrible though-- I was so fatigued &amp; in a lot of pain. The next ones weren't so bad. </p> <p>As to charting, will you let me know how that goes? We're trying to go back to using FAM to prevent pregnancy, but I'm encountering some obstacles we didn't have before and would love to hear how another new mom is able to do it. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-447902 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 18:30:32 +0000 lemondrop 447902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It came back at almost 10 months... He's been nursing a lot less and eating more solid food, so I figured it would be sooner and not later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-447725 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:49:08 +0000 cheesetomywhine 447725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Lucky!</p> <p>I'm ebf and got mine at 5 weeks pp. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-447624 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:08:39 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 447624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: Oh the cramps have been absolutely horrible!! I forgot how awful they were and I literally had to sit down while I was in line at the store today because I couldn't stand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445574 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 19:01:33 +0000 CarrieLouWho 445574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beebug - I'm with you, mine came back at 6 weeks too :( Boooo!!!

It actually came yesterday and today I'm suffering with those dreaded cramps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445496 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:36:48 +0000 chopsuey 445496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine back at 7 months pp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445493 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 18:35:13 +0000 Beebug 445493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Y'all can shut it, lol. I got it last Monday, 6w2d pp.</p> <p>EBF and all, my doc thought it might have been a tear, but no way the way the week went. 8 day cycle.....IUD went in yesterday, lol, not goin' there :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445353 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:54:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 445353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Protectlove: Oh no!! I actually thought it was coming last weekend, so I bought some tampons while we were at the store. Otherwise, I would have been completely SOL today.</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: I had it for 6 weeks, too!! Not cool!</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: That's pretty incredible to only have 2 in that time. I wouldn't mind that one bit :-D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445282 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:20:09 +0000 Protectlove 445282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I made it to 4.5 months and then AF came with a vengeance this weekend. I don't know why I was so shocked, I guess its because I really thought I would be without her till I stopped breast feeding. The worst part was how terribly unprepared I was- I had no idea where anything was and then turned out I didn't have even a single tampon in the house. Geez. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445274 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:18:14 +0000 purrpletulips 445274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD it didn't return until I dropped a pumping session at 9m PP. With DS it appeared at 8w when I re-started the pill but hasn't appeared again since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445273 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:17:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 445273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Yes, but I also had PP bleeding for 6 WEEKS after birthing LO so that was no fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445251 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:06:58 +0000 Rubies 445251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine at 7 months PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445249 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:06:17 +0000 Mrs. Bee 445249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 months pp and no af. I've only had 2 in the past 4 years because of pregnancy and breast feeding. Am not looking forward to it returning, ESP since olive just started sleeping thru the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445228 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:55:43 +0000 rachiecakes 445228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: yep, that was me, too - when I stopped pumping at work during the day, around 9 months. I still continued to breastfeed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445223 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:53:50 +0000 mrs. wagon 445223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awwwww boooooooo. I always tell my friends who aren't moms yet that the 9 months without a period during pregnancy isn't really great because of all the pregnancy symptoms... but not having your period while you're a new mom ROCKS!! Mine came back exactly 3 weeks post wean!! </p> <p>This time around I'm exclusively pumping, 4 times a day, and I thought it was coming back a few times (felt crampy and annoyed) but so far AF's a no show. Crossing fingers!!! I'm almost 5 months PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445221 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:50:58 +0000 Mrsbells 445221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still breastfeeding but I got my period after 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445186 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:36:39 +0000 T.H.O.U. 445186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: This is us too! LO is 16 months old. I got AF back again this week (4th cycle). I am starting to get baby fever and its no fun. </p> <p>We aren't quite ready for another baby, so I think I need to draft a "What to do before baby #2" list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445183 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:34:34 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 445183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was (and still am) ebf and got it at three months!! Boo!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445180 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:33:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 445180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice! You made it way longer.. Mine came back at 6 mos pp, and I'm still BF with night feedings! Totally sucks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445177 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:32:07 +0000 Sammyfab 445177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9.5 months and I still haven't gotten my period but I've been getting menstrual-like cramps for a few weeks. I'm scared!!! I would probably continue BFing for much much longer if I could be guaranteed AF would not return. There is no baby fever going on over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445137 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:07:47 +0000 prettylizy 445137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She just turned 9 months and still no AF (though I have an IUD). I'm hoping when I get my IUD out it will come back pretty quick because I've got the fever!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445125 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:05:08 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 445125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I did!! But I don't think DH is really ready for it - HAHA. Funny thing is, I thought I was ovulating a couple weeks ago, and we weren't careful :-O </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445086 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:52:43 +0000 Bao 445086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: dang it all! LO is 3.5 months and no AF yet (a day or two of spotting but I think that was leftover from PP), I am dreading the day AF returns! ahhh. As long as I keep breastfeeding I hope the witch stays away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445082 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:50:58 +0000 autumnlove 445082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That was a nice break! Didn't you say you had baby fever a few weeks ago? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/well-it-was-fun-while-it-lasted-af-returns#post-445076 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 14:49:19 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 445076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhhh!</p> <p>I thought it was coming, and I knew it was inevitable since I stopped pumping last month... but I was really enjoying not having AF around- haha! Let's see, that makes almost 20 months - not too bad :-)</p> <p>I guess this means I can start charting again :-D</p> <p>How long before your AF returned? </p>
