I got my period!! I think...
« on: March 15, 2006, 15:51:59 pm »
I started my period today even though my dd is 5 months old and exclusively breastfed.  Is this normal??

Everybody and every body is different.  So yes, quite normal I believe.

There is such an enormous spectrum of what is normal with this one!

I got mine a couple of days ago - my baby is just over 5 months and exclusively breast fed. I am completely ****ed off about it as I HATE periods  >:(, although I must say I have never had such a pain-free light period. Maybe they will soon get back to being the hell they used to be...

We're 8 months and counting here.  How come those who don't want it, get it.  And those that want it, dont' get it?  One of life's great mysteries.

I got mine a couple weeks ago for the first time since lo was born and, he is also EBF! I am glad though that it was very light and pain free as well! It is great to know that everything is in working condition but come on a few more months bliss would have been wonderful!

So with you, there, Jodie!  Mine came back at 13.5 months, and now, after a miscarriage, are completely screwy all over again.  And I'm hoping to get pregnant again soon...
