Who HASN'T Got Their 1st PP Period? - Page 2

[heidirk]

me neither. almost 10 weeks pp, ebf, but i do use a paci and he sleeps 3-4 hour strtches at night, even while cosleeping. :

i don't know what to expect though, b/c at 8 weeks w/ds1, i got Depo-provera. i'm not doing that this time!

nak

[Marcimama]

Nothing yet (at 10 or so weeks). I usually start at about 4-6 mons pp. I really wish I wouldn't get it for a year or so... but I shouldn't complain.

[audsma]

AF visited 13 mo after DD& I thought the symptoms were pg. Last year @ this time I thought I was going thru menopause b/c I was so wildly irregular for a year (grandma started @35, so not out of the ?) Hoping it'll hold off @ least another year this time as I'm 2 mo pp now.

One handed typing sucks!

Oh my. How are you w/ that possibility? I know you want another.

[crosscat]

Nearly 10 weeks, no period. PP bleeding stopped around 5 weeks or so. I am EBFing.

Ummm......I am ok with having another child. I would love to be pregnant again. I just am upset with the fact that I would have to have another c/s. Even the crunchy mama's I have asked said they would wait the full two years from c/s to VBAC

[trimestersdoula]

Oh and I took my temp this morning and it is wayyyy up....like what it would be like if I was 3 or 4 days from my period. I have also been feeling a bit nausous again (might be a touch of the flu) and have been having extremely mild, barely there cramping like I did when I was just pregnant with Calli. Sooooo with the temp especially, if I don't have my period in the next week, I won't even need to take a PG test.

[Dahlea]

Me. I'm EBF though so don't expect it any time soon. Which is a shame as we'd like to start TTC asap.

[Bella Catalina]

I'll be 8w PP on Sunday, EBF. Nothing here yet, but I only stopped bleeding a week ago. AF returned at 6mths with Adrian, but I'm hoping she stays away much longer this time.

I did come across a research article last week that suggested women who had stopped PP bleeding and then bled again around 6 weeks were more likely to have AF show earlier that the 14mth average.

Are we allowed to be POAS pushers? There's no way I could wait it out!

Sorry to crash your ddc, but I was October 2007 and still haven't gotten aunt flow back yet!

[PassionateWriter]

at 9 weeks, no....but i hope to go more than with ds3 (3 months) b/c i should get some benefit out of tandem nursing! lol!

[abber]

I stopped PP bleeding around 3.5 weeks and started bleeding like a stuck pig at 7 weeks exactly. I guess it is my period, but none of the hideous monster cramps I used to get!

I EBF (except for a night I had to spent away and he ate through my milk stash faster than expected!) so I am surprised by AF coming back so soon.

[peaceful_mama]

not me. 7 weeks PP today, PP bleeding stopped a week ago now I think it was.

with DS I pumped, cut out night pumping around 4 months didn't get it back till I quit pumping entirely at 6 months. (around 2-3 weeks after I last pumped I think it was) (birth control used from then to when ds was about a year, I got pregnant exactly 6 months after I stopped the Pill.)

With DD--cosleeping, no paci use worth mentioning (carseat only), went back to work @ 12 weeks with a couple pumping sessions in my 7 hour workday...she still ate through my stash plus occasional supplementation of goat's milk to what I pumped (probably less than 5 bottles in her 6 weeks of me baing back at work though) Solids offered daily around 6.5 months,
AF returned at 9 months. A light 'warning'. I had hoped it would stay that way but then it came back full force the next month.
I found out I was pregnant again when dd was 14 months, no birth control use. maybe a bit of half hearted trying to avoid. lol

[LemonPie]

No PP AF here either. I got mine back at 12 months with my first and 13 months with my second. I EBF and partially co-sleep, though we are using a paci this time around as this baby refuses to comfort nurse. I had a paragard inserted a month ago and spotted for a few days from that.

[thefragile7393]

I haven't.....with ds I literally got it back on hist first birthday.

[Changed]

Anyone not had AF yet but have pinkish CM at the time they normally would? I've had this today and had it a few weeks back too. Wonder what that means?

[trimestersdoula]

I had that about a week ago. Then I *think* I got AF on the 24th. But I only filled a tampon on that day and then it stopped, started up again the next day, filled a tampon, stop, the 26th I had spotting and that was it. I am thinking it must have been just a really light AF.

[emski4379]

12 weeks and no AF for me yet. With DS I got it back around this time because I went back to work and was pumping during the day. I hope it takes longer to come back this time.

[kristenburgess]

9 weeks PP here and nothing yet (bleeding stopped at 4.5 weeks). I got a year after DS2 and I'd like that or more again.
