Whether nursing or ff -- when did your period return?
I'm 5 months PP - EBF, no period yet.... Felt cramping yesterday though and wondered if it may be coming?
-
i'm 5 mos pp too, EBF and haven't had mine yet either!
-
Almost 8 months pp, BF + solids and sometimes STTN and no period yet. But I also have a Mirena and that might be a factor as well.
-
10.5 months in, and AF is still missing. I've had symptoms of PMS and ovulation for months.
-
just had mine-- 4 months/18 weeks. DS did start STTN 12 hours at 12 weeks though and I don't pump at night. We nurse 5-6x for four days, nurse 2x and pump 3x three days (office days).
I also have been working out hardcore, so I'm blaming Jillian Michaels too.
Thankfully, the period is just like normal, 1 heavy day/cramping and a few days of light. I didn't miss it- but I'm glad it wasn't horrible either.
-
9months pp and hate to say it but before it came back is when I started feeling random cramps!
-
@regberadaisy: oh no!
i want to get it back by this summer for TTC #2 --- but I'm so not ready for it yet!
I'm planning on BFing as long as I can too --- but I just started sleeping separately from him - wonder if that will make it come back?
-
@hellobeeboston: I honestly think the STTN is a big factor because you're nursing less. Is your LO STTN?
M started STTN at about 7.5 months and my period came back at 9months. So far it has not *terribly* affected my supply except when I have my period. -
@regberadaisy: he *WAS* STTN from about 8 weeks - 15 weeks, then he startd waking up at least once, sometimes twice...but yeah, maybe if he starts sttn again if will come back.
-
EBF...pumping & nursing, period returned a month after giving birth.
-
8 mos...
-
5 months pp and still no period. I've been feeling some cramping every once in awhile over the last couple of months, but still no AF. I wonder about him sleeping in his own room now. Will that bring it back? But he's still waking up a few times to nurse at night.
-
@hellobeeboston: My LO has been sleeping in her own room and mostly sleeping through the night since 7 weeks. It's not a sure-fire way to bring it back for everyone.
-
12 months pp, FF, no sign of it yet, but I got Mirena at 6 weeks pp.
-
i think mine was around 8-10 weeks PP, i forget now...EBF and LO has never STTN sooo....lucky me!
-
4 months PP. I stopped BF at just over 3 months.
-
5 months PP, EBFing. Boo hoo. No pregnancy yet at 18 months, though, despite NTNP the whole time, so I don't think I'm really back to normal.
-
9 months PP, just stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago.
-
Almost 7 months pp, and nothing yet. I pump and BF, and supplement a little with formula too. LO is not even close to STTN.
