DD was 13 weeks old on Monday. She is fully BF. Since about Monday or Tuesday I've had heaps of CM, whereas prior to that I was quite dry since birth. Does that mean AF is on the way and was it possibly ovulation? I'm on the mini-pill, so how would that affect it?
Not necessarily hon. I'm not on the mini pill and bar one month, I wasn't after having DD1 either, and my CM ramped up to what I'd see in a normal cycle but I don't have AF yet (DD2 is 5 mths) and she didn't return until DD1 was 10 months old either.
Sounds like your body is returning to some sort of 'normal' though so be careful as a night of passion could lead to more than you bargained for! Well, the mini pill should stop that but you know what I mean
I hope AF continues to stay away for you but when she returns is an individual thing for each woman and sadly breastfeeding doesn't always keep her at bay.
Update: haven't got AF yet but today I had what looks like EWCM. Forgot the pill on Monday and had it 3 hours late yesterday. DD is 18 wks tomorrow. Is the EWCM a sign of AF or a result of forgetting the pill?
I'm still getting loads of EWCM once a month and don't have AF. I honestly think it's just a sign or your body working itself out again but not an indication that AF is on her way. I didn't get AF back until 11 months with DD1 and had the usual cycles of CM each month.
