    Question Af pains but no AF

    Has anyone had AF pains but no AF after their baby was born?
    What do you think this might be?
    I had them a little a couple weeks back then a few the past days - mostly at night.

    Ovulation pains maybe??

    It took me almost a year for my AF to return after each child so maybe its your body just getting into some sort of cycle?

    If you're getting ferns on the MB then I'd agree with Jo & say that you are probably ovulating. Breastfeeding *can* suppress ovulation, but it's not always the case.

    Maybe not 5 days..might be a bit excessive...i know for me though its not unusual to have it last for 3 days.

    mya, maybe do a pg test just to make sure. The nausea sounds strange to me and ferns will appear in MB if u r pg so....

    Mya, I had the same thing when I was pg with Jess. I had nausea and dizziness and felt like I was pg. I think it would be wise to test, even if it just rules it out for a bit. Mind you. I had -ve HPT's till I was 10wks with Jess so even if it's -ve, you may still need a BT to rule it out. Goodluck hon. I hope it works out for you, whichever way you would prefer...
