PP Periods

[mrsmonogrammed]

its a poll, you know what to do. And how many weeks PP are you?

[mrsmonogrammed]

I'm 13w pp and am EBF and haven't had a PP period yet...but t seems like many of our board has had at least one! Curious about if it's similar to prepregnancy or if it will be a whole new beast to tame!

[dmoney]

I havent had a period per-say but I have had some break through bleeding. I am on the MINI Pill until I can get the authorization from insurance to have an IUD. There have been some days where i take it a few hours late and the next day I bleed a little it. but nothing serious.

I never got my period back until I ended breastfeeding DS. Hope it's the same this time around, so far so good! Not quite 3.5 months PP.

LO is 13 weeks old. Ebf but I wish ad would return so we could ttc

13 weeks PP. 50-50 BF-FF. I had one at 12 weeks PP.

[mrsdee1982]

I am EBF and have had 1, at about 11.5 weeks PP. In fact, according to FF, I should be starting my next one today, but so far nothing.

My first PPP was actually pretty light and tame.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I had one period at 7.5 week pp which lasted 8 days. Thats sadly a normal length for me, but it was lighter than my typical prepregnancy period. Its now been almost 5 weeks and I haven't gotten another one. I'm EBF and know this can make it kind of start and stop or come and go but ayy the stress of not knowing when to expect it!

[Bluedaisy]

Got it at about 10 weeks, exclusively formula. It scared the crap out of me though because I got it immediately after the one doctor told me my incision infection had gone deep so of course I was panicked thinking some how the infection was causing it.

[alayne926]

exclusively FF and I'm 12w PP tomorrow and just finished my 2nd PP period.

I'm coming up on my 3 year anniversary of being period free in another month. But my supply recently tanked from being sick, so I've been paranoid AF will return sooner than that.

It took us over 3 years to get this LO so chances are I won't be pregnant again for a long time, if ever again. But we have to ttc again for a while before going to the RE

That's makes sense and more power to you! I hope you guys get a quick BFP!

[sugarkissed]

13 weeks and EBF, no PP period yet!

I didn't get one until I stopped breastfeeding DD1... well, actually I didn't even get one then, I just got pregnant!
Period free since November 2012 and terrified of the day that it returns.

[erbear]

What I thought was one 7 weeks ago was likely due to my internal exam at my pp appointment, so no. I'm ebf'ing as well!

[musicfrk2002]

14 weeks pp, just on the tail end of my 2nd period, formula feeding

[kemdupuis]

12 weeks PP and no period yet. I am EBF. I hope it stays this way! I hate having my period!

I voted No and I FF. I have just never stopped bleeding for more than a day, so I could have had it, or be on it, or it still may just be pp bleeding :/ Saw my OB yesterday and she said it is likely a hormonal imbalance - my body's normal cycle just won't kick in by itself at this point. I really want to stop bleeding. It's been almost 12 weeks...

Oh you poor thing!!

[billyhorrible]

With LBB I weaned from the pump at 1 year but still nursed and got my period exactly 1 month later. I'm hoping for the same this go-around.

My pp period was so much better than pre-pregnancy! Lighter and without the debilitating cramps.

It could be way worse. I was prepared for her to tell me I needed a D&C, which is not the case thankfully. 

Yea, very true...I just couldn't imagine bleeding for that long....all the sympathies...

[hannahl201477]

EFF and he is 3 months old. I have had 2 and supposed to have started sundayish. Mine have been so heavy and always late since they came back. Most of the time they don't even start until a day or so before I'm back on "active" bc pills.

[tjanca22]

14 weeks pp, BF and no period yet. I can't say that I miss it!

[jessila]

12w pp, ebf, no period yet, on the mini pill since 6w pp.

billyhorrible You give me hope that my cramps will be less terrible pp.

[stinybean]

I'm 14 w PP and no sign of a period. I'm bf and ff, but pumping every three-four hours except during sleep. I also have PCOS so who knows when I'll get a period. I haven't started the mini pill yet because I don't want to mess with my milk supply.

[baytosa2013]

I had a short one around week 8 and just had a majorly heavy one last week at 14 weeks PP. I am FF only but tried BF for the first 3 weeks.

[ravinraven216]

14 weeks PP and I had one around 6 weeks, but I went on the pill and it's made itself scarce, thank the gods. At the same time not having one makes me paranoid. No 2016 babies for me!

[cnumbers]

No - no period yet. Combo feeding. 15 weeks PP. I'm a little concerned about my body still being a bit screwed up from pregnancy and birth but I'm goin with the flow (no pun intended)

TMI AlERT but..
This just made me freak a little about my absent period.. I mean I'm not on any birth control except for condoms due to the fact that hormonal birth control doesn't agree with me. We did get carried away one night and used the pull-out method. So if y'all see me on June 2016 you'll know what happened.
