If you've weaned in the last ~6 months...

....is your period back to "normal" at this point?

I am skipping periods like every other month (which then sends me feverishly peeing on ALL the sticks), but I'm not pregnant.  Just not regulated I guess.  I was pregnant pretty quickly with DS2 after I weaned DS1, so I don't have anything to refer back to....

Hmmm.  Just curious what others are experiencing.  I was clockwork regular before getting pregnant with DS1.

I weaned DS a few months ago but I was already well into my second trimester at that point. However, I got my period back at like 3 months postpartum and it was pretty regular. It wasn't like clockwork persay but I never skipped a month. It had just gone back to normal (I could set my watch by it) when I got pregnant again.

It's been like 7 months for me. They were really irregular for awhile, but as soon as I fixed my Mirena nightmare they were pretty much back to normal, with the exception of last month. I was like a week and a half late. Before having kids my periods were all over the place though. After Nate they were 28 days exactly. So to answer the question, I guess? Maybe?

I used to be like clockwork. Still pretty regular but after DS I now spot a day or two before I actually start my period. This never happened to me before. It is really annoying because I think it is going to start and then the spotting stops, and then it is like two days later when it actually starts. Annoying.

I had only weaned for 2 months before I got my BFP, but my periods were normal. They were normal pretty much ever since I got my IUD out, though.

I'm pretty much the same person as pinesnow The only thing I would change is that my periods were maybe more normal and regular than before the first pregnancy.

Can I just whine again that we both got little sleep while BFing through the night and STILL had to deal with periods right away?

Right? Still a little bitter about it, not gonna lie. I'm assuming it had something to do with the fact that I went back on BC after my 6 week check up. A lot of good THAT did me as I sit here almost 39 weeks pregnant

My body does not have that excuse.

I know I'm on the lucky side that I do not get my period when I'm BFing, no matter how much BFing we're doing. Maybe that's why it's taking so long to get back to normal now that I've stopped? Idk...
