Anyone else ebf and have a period???

YEAH WTF IS THAT????

I mean come on! It's over now, but WHY is it here? I will be sooo happy to get on some REAL BC and not use this stupid mini pill... I am so scared to get PG again.

That is crazy!! I sure hopw it doesn't return to me just yet. I always wonder if it will soon, since I feel pressure in my back some days like I am going to get my period. I can't stand the suspense.

nak.
the mini-pill can bring back your period... it doesn't mean your ovulating yet.

I hope I dont..... I just started the mini pill last week and my Ob said I shouldnt get my period. Crap!!!!!! If I do I will be very sad.


ETA: Just did a quick search on Mini-pill here on mothering. OMG It seems like it dont work very well... We want more kids but not this soon lol

With the mini-pill you need to be very consistant and take it religiously. Breastfeeding helps, but even so, the mini-pill works best if you take it at the exact same time each day.

I know a mama who was pregnant at her 6 week post partum checkup, no period at all. And I know mamas with condom babies, IUD babies, charting to avoid babies, bc pill babies, and vasectomy babies! If you're dtd there's usually a chance of a baby, though the chance may be vanishingly small.

I'm always jealous of women who talk about being cycle free for 18 or 24 months due to breastfeeding. Even when I was tandem nursing, co sleeping, no paci, pumping for donation, etc I got my cycles back around 9 months. With dd1 (no tandem) it was even sooner so I'm not counting on a long break this time either. But I can wish!

I didn't nurse my first, I EPed for 3 weeks, I didn't have a period for 3 months!

We are using the mini pill, the condom, and I am EBFing. I am hoping the three together will help me not get pregnant. I need to get to the Dr and schedule something more permanent.

I wouldn't go through with another pregnancy and knowing that, I need to be really careful. I just do not want to have to make that decision, KWIM?

Eta- I take my pill every morning before or at 9 AM never later.

i have zero experience with BC.

we use Ecological BFing to space our LOs with both i had (am having) a "6th week bleed".
