Well, I am relieved to hear from others who have had AF return so soon, even when breast feeding. I was starting to think something was wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's just my period returning. I had about 1 week of light bleeding post-partum, and then 4 weeks, or so, of occasional spotting, and now all of a sudden, moderate dark red bleeding, without clots or cramping, which started three days ago. Emily was 5 1/2 weeks old that day and is fully breast-fed. (8-10 times a day!) Guess I don't get a break. Although, I've never had a regular cycle, so maybe I'll get a nice long break until round 2.
I'm curious, though, about what Ryn said about being more fertile - I really don't think I am that fertile. We've been married for 6 1/2 years, and we've never used birth control or tried to prevent a pregnancy, and we have three children, all about two years apart. (4yrs old, 2 yrs old, and 6wks old.) Is that something that you've read/heard about Ryn, or just a guess as to why some women have a period sooner than others post-partum?
