Did your period change after being pregnant?
LO is 8 months old and we're still breastfeeding/pumping several times a day. I got AF back in January and it was normal. About 3 weeks ago I got what I thought was AF again. This time I've been very, very light spotting since then. Is this normal?
Before LO, I was super regular in when AF showed up and how long it lasted. We want to TTC at the end of summer so I'm hoping to get things somewhat figured out soon.

I'm not sure if the changes in my cycle are due to having a baby or getting an IUD. I got the Mirena IUD when I was 6-7 months PP and that was the first time I got my period...it was basically nonstop spotting and then heavy periods...AWFUL! When I finally got the Mirena out my cycles were shorter 26-28 days and I had spotting 2-3 days before. Prior to having LO my cycles were 28 days and pretty light with no spotting. I miss my cycles pre-baby

Haven't had a baby, but after my first m/c, my usual debilitatingly severe cramps pretty much disappeared. Really hoping that stays the same after LO gets here in Sep.

Mine really hasn't changed much. There have been a few times it's come a bit earlier or later but nothing out of the realm of normal for me.

C is 13 months and I've only had my period back since January. The main difference I've noticed is that I no longer have horrible cramps, which honestly has been really disconcerting.
