But I can tell dear old AF is out of sorts because I'll bleed for like maybe an hour then I'm done. Then a couple days later, it'll be all day then done till next month. Is this normal? I'm thinking it has something to do with breastfeeding... that or my body is just having a hard time figuring out what it's supposed to be doing exactly lol

Yup! F this shit-- and PMS is ten times uglier when you are tired and hungry all the time (from BFing ... Which I heard this mythical story that I wouldn't get my period ... LIES!) 15 weeks pp, 2 periods

With my DD, I BF/EP for 8 months and AF didn't return until 9 months PP when I was weaning. With the twins, I pumped for 1 month and supplemeted before switching to all formula. AF returned at 9 weeks. I'm on my second cycle now and cramps are way worse than the first round.... ughhh.
EBF here. I've been really emotional for a few days and wondering if it's PMS (could also be Mother's Day sentimentality or the fact that I'm returning to work in a few weeks)... After a long day on my feet yesterday I did have some spotting, but I'm reeeaaallly hoping for a few more months period-free.

Sigh. Who's 13 weeks PP and hasn't stopped constantly spotting? This chick. I'm pretty sure I haven't had one yet. It's hard to tell when you constantly bleed. :/ If I have it's been far milder than pre-baby. Also, at 8 weeks PP I had a Skyla IUD insterted. I am ebf.
Had it at 6/7 weeks PP byt nothing since at 12 weeks. Started the minipill 2 weeks ago. Not sure how tgat affects AF.
Effectively EBF.
I'm also on the mini pill. But I'm going to have to change the brand or something because my emotions, etc are nuts. I didn't have this with the mini pill last time.
