Ali, before my DD I had painful periods, I breastfeed for only a few months and when AF returned it was the complete opposite. No pain, I could walk actually walk! No need for painkillers or even panadol, no heaviness, no clots, like I said, the absolute complete opposite to before DD's birth.

I had a lap last year before starting on IVF, and I was only just starting to get painful periods again, but nothing compared to what they were like before.
