AF & Breast Feeding? (TMI)

[Lisa]

I am curious about AF while Bfeeding.
I got AF on 1 March... and last night I started... spotting I guess you'd call it.
So I expected that today I would have full AF, but no, the spotting has almost stopped. It is that brownish colour that you get at the end of AF.

Is this normal? I am assuming that it would be, but I still find it strange as I had full AF just last month.

Maybe your body's just sorting itself out? I got AF a week ago for the first time as Caty had been sick and her appetite shrank....silly body jumped at the opportunity for AF! Arg! Can bubs appetite make AF a bit higgeldy piggeldy I wonder or is mine (ours?) back for good? Sorry that I've been no help...but I've been wanting to complain about AF!

ETA: There's another thread about this! Don't know how to do a link though.....looks like AF can be an irregular guest if you're still bfeeding.

It could take a while for your AF to get back into a regular cycle. A bit of spotting can happen I guess.

Also it could be ovulation spotting so be wary if DTD!

There is a great chapter about BF in The Billings Method. Check your library for a copy or you could google it for heaps of info.
