Ok, so I'm feeling a little woe is me at the moment as AF has decided to return

When I BF Luke, I didn't have AF return until about a month after he was completely weaned.... Carmelo is exclusively BF and AF showed up just under 4 weeks ago.
I was living in hope that it may have been the one & only for another 6 months but alas, its almost 28 days to the day & it seems as though she's about to reappear.

It hasn't seemed to effect my supply at all, but OMG the sensitivity
Along with the Reynauds, its sooooooooore!

Apart from the heat & the nipple balm (which keeps the Reynauds bearable), is there anything else I can do?
Fortunately, it only seems to hurt for a few days & once the bleeding starts it settles down.

ETA - Out of curiosity, is it normal for AF to return after 3-4 months when you're still exclusively BF? Everyone I know personally (and myself the first time round) didn't see AF return until they at least started weaning.

Thanks in advance
