I stopped BF at about 7 months and about two weeks later started spotting. This went on for about a month and a half. The whole time my hormones were whack and the last week I felt sick and exhausted. Finally about 9 months to the day post baby AF was here. This time the most heavy I'd ever seen. Exercise really boosted it too. I had quite a few small clots and a pretty steady flow. I could tell my hormones were very off balance before and somewhat during the first visit. It sucked. Good luck to the rest of you though! Hopefully your hormones can manage themselves better than mine
