AF or....whoops?

Hmmmm - I have been having AF type cramps for a week now and some bloating (as if my tummy needed to be any bigger:rolleyes:) but no actual bleeding. Am also feeling really tired and blah and had to go to bed on Sunday cos I felt sick in the stomach. So...is AF on her way? Could I have the cramping but no actual bleeding? Did AF take longer to show up after your baby?

OR...could I be - gulp - pregnant? DH and I have only DTD once since DS was born - about 3 weeks ago - and used no contraception 'cos DS is fully bf (but sleeping 8-10 hours overnight and I didn't factor this in). I am too scared to POAS - I can't believe I actually want to see AF...

Anything is possible ;) My cramping was always worse before i got my BFP's than my AF though - not much changed after having kids.

I'd go pee on a pretty stick if I were you ;)

with bf'ing af could take ages to return properly

dont stress just yet, im sure some ladies who actually bf longer than my 6 days will be here to help with their experiences.
but relax and dont worry it will all turn out ok

CF - I didnt get AF back at all when I was bf DS1 - i was on the mini pill after 2 months but still never got it til I totaly stopped BF (and the mini pill as it happened as we began ttc notlong after).
I woudlnt stress too much abotu it, your bod can take ages to get back to normal... BUT if you really are worried just do it to know one way or the other IMO.

POAS to put your mind at ease one way or the other

i will say though - i've been getting AF-type ouchies off and on for about 6 weeks now - no sign of the witch, not pg (well, wasn't a few weeks back!) - no idea what is going on...

Hun do yourself a favour and POAS. I did it this morning and had to do it about 6 wks ago as well cos AF signs are there but nothing happens AND we're not protected. And its stops me doing my head in with the 'what if's?'

Go buy that stick!

For me, I'm just assuming that its taking a while for my body to find its rhythm back.

Thanks girls - good to know others have experienced the same thing. Will have to buy some HPTs to put myself out of my misery

I experienced the similar stuff, although Im not BFing and I did have my AF back after DD was born (I actually started a thread about my situation not long ago) Im 13 days late.

Id POAS!
