When did your period return post baby?

**danniellabella** · April 25th, 2008, 08:35 AM

3 and half months of bliss with no AF... I have heard that it can return if you go more than 4 hours without a BF or expressing?? That seemed true enough with me...

If that is true then that explains why I have AF 7 weeks after giving birth, my DD has been sleeping through every night for the past week, she sleeps 6-9 hours overnight, not that I mind and if that means I get AF then its a sacrifice I'm willing to make for sleep.

Noah was 11 months and still breastfeeding when I got AF back. Think I was the odd one out compared to friends that had babies around the same time. Stopped bfing at 13/14 months as we wanted to do IVF sooner rather than later.

Mine came back 16weeks & 1 day. My sister - 16 weeks after both her kids. My mum - 3-4 months (all 5 kids) and my other sister... yup, 3-4 months too!

Mine came back todaaaayyy *boohoo* (DD2 is 8 weeks)
I was expecting at least a couple more months without AF because DD2 is fully BF'd!! No fair, body!!
I got a script for the mini-pill yesterday but haven't even been to the chemist to get it!

*rawr* Lol the universe is so mean sometimes

Just got mine back today, 4 months, 3 weeks and 3 days after giving birth to my DD. I was not really expecting it so soon since she is still feeding (exclusively from the breast) every 2hrs during the day but since she usually has a 6-8hr stretch over-night I am not completely shocked.

Although, it has DF broaching the "so we can try for another now?" subject... ekk!!

2 months with DD & she was exclusively BF

**~Gee_Whizzy~** · August 10th, 2009, 04:40 PM

Mine came back 6 weeks after DD was born (she's nearly 7mths now) and has been a 28-31day cycle ever since - I am also an exclusive BF

I got gipped too. but it is probably because Leah goes longer than 4 hours between feeds overnight. AF arrived at 8 weeks.

I'm still waiting. Quite happily!

:yeahthat: and ds is 7 months this week.

Bubs was a little prem so jaw muscles underdeveloped. Milk supply was up and down (more down then up).
Was hoping it'd be longer. PMT so not cool when you have an anti-sleep reflux baby.

Got mine back sunday so nearly 7 months- so that wasnt too bad- but how strange is this. It is a normal period but for the first time EVA I have no period pain!!! What a bonus. Everything else is the same, even the sensitive nipps, migrane before, acne etc- but no pain!!!!
Anyone got an explaination for this????

after 15 months free- welcome back aunty flow

**Jellyfish** · August 26th, 2009, 12:45 AM

I had a similar experience, det. My period was also a lot lighter than usual and yep, no pain at all which is unusual for me. Hoping it keeps up this way!
