When did you cycle while BFing

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
(Sorry the subject is wrong ... it should say Do breasts change after first PP ovulation?)
When ovulation returns, do the breasts change? I'm 13 mo pp, still bfing and I think I ovulated for the first time about 10 days ago. (First time since I got PG nearly 2 yrs ago.) I never nursed this long with my other children, and it surprised me that I haven't had my period yet.

This week I noticed my breast size is somewhat reduced and less firm. I still have milk though. Will my breasts "refill" after I finally have my period? If so, how long does this diminished supply last for?

Thanks for your help ... I just don't know what to expect. I want to keep nursing til Ds naturally weans, and want to be assured I will still have the same quantity/quality of milk for him.

I haven't had any problems with supply after it returns, which happened around 6 or 7 months with my oldest and getting longer with each one up to 15 months with my youngest.

I did notice some time ago that my breasts looked smaller and firmer at one point and then a week later they were back to normal. If it corresponded with ovulation I didn't think about it.
