Return of AF whilst BF what was it like?

[skybie]

Mine start off lighter then a normal period but then turn very very heavy for the first few.
i get mine back at around 12 weeks when even when fully breast feeding, then they tend to go missing for a month or two (scaring the life out of me!) and then come back properly

Both times my period has returned around the 4 month mark even with full BF. It tends to be a bit stop start and all over the shop now. Definately not like before having my girls when I was a regular 28 day cycle with 3 days of flow. When it did first return they were always very weak and took a few days of spotting before they started.

Thanks both for your replies. I think its definately AF. It went away for hours but is now red.

I got my AF back about 8-9 months after my son was born while I was still breastfeeding him day and night. It just started like a normal AF. It was probably normal in flow, but to me felt heavy because before having my son I had very slight AF's.

I haven't had an AF since having my daughter though because this little surprise bub snuck in before my first AF arrived, lol. I must have ovulated when she was around 4-5 months old even though I was fully breastfeeding her and my son was still breastfeeding at least 3-4 times a day.
