TMI Tuesday Question?

[allisong87]

Has anyone gotten their period back already? I went for my 6 wk appt last week Wednesday and a few days later starting having spotting and slight cramping that has continued. I'm breastfeeding and know it usually takes a little longer for your period to return if you are so I'm confused! I would think it was just irritation if I didn't have cramps accompanying it.

My friend told me she got hers back around 6 weeks with her second child, even though she was breastfeeding. With my first it came back around 3/4 months PP, so I'm thinking it will probably be even earlier this time.

I'm still bleeding from the birth... at 3.5 weeks pp. It'd suck bigtime to get a period at 6 weeks... like Jesus. When does the faucet turn off?

I'm almost 7 weeks with no period, but a friend of mine who had her second kid around the same time got hers at about 7 weeks PP. She was trying to BF but had insufficient supply.

With J I didn't get a period until about 6 months PP, but I bled for about 4-5 weeks from birth. I was also EBF. This time, I'm 3.5 weeks PP and still bleeding from birth. Fun!

So with my first I thought I got my period back right around 5 weeks pp; but I think it was still pp bleeding. Because then I didn't get it back until I stopped breastfeeding. My OB basically said there's no way to know if it's your period back unless you have bleeding again next month. I'm EBF and I am praying for no period until I'm done. My bleeding is basically over now at 4 weeks pp.

I got my period back around 5/6 months last time. FX it's the same or later!

With G, I stopped pp bleeding at 4 wks and then period returned about 6 or 7wks pp. I'm kind of expecting the same this time, but who knows.

No period here. I'm 3 weeks pp and just stopped bleeding from birth about a week ago. Last time I didn't get mine back until DS was about 14 months. I think it was a combo of breastfeeding and the birth control I was on.

No period here yet at 8weeks, but I have been crampy the last few days and my first thought was that it might be around the corner.

With DD it took 9 months for mine to return.

With both of my girls it came back around 7-8 weeks BUT I took the mini pill after both of them and started the pill at my 6 week doctor appointment both times. I always wondered if the hormones in the pill jump started it. I'm hoping since I won't be doing that again that BFing will hold it off longer.

Last time around, I got my first pp period at 6 weeks. Almost exactly because I remember my birthday was right around then, and I recall thinking "seriously??" Lol. I proceeded to get relatively regular periods after that. Fun times.

I hope it stays away for a little while this time!! I'm only 10 days pp for now so I'm still on the post birth bleeding at this point.

Thanks for all the answers everyone! I'm so confused as to what's going on with my body. The spotting stopped for a couple days and then started up again today. I may call the OB on Monday to see what their thoughts are.
