Pretty much anything is normal when it comes to getting your period while breastfeeding. I have a 6-week old and got my period today even though I am exclusively breastfeeding.

What To Expect When You Get Your Period While Breastfeeding

Of course now I am dealing with the fourth month sleep for regression and periods.

I am exclusively breastfeeding and got my period. And every 2 hrs. It can totally be your cycle. Your period would then start two weeks later as early as 11 weeks or 12 weeks after giving birth.

However a friend of mine with all 3 of her kids did not get a period at all until they were done with breast feeding at about 6 months old. Your baby is sleeping for more than four hours at a time during the day or is sleeping for more than six hours at a time at night. Bleeding was very similar in amount to a period just longer than my normal period.

During the period of exclusive breastfeeding no supplements night and day nursing and little or no pacifier use most moms wont have a period during the first six months. And I fed through the night and had a very good supply. Cramps while breastfeeding but no period.

Is getting a period 6 weeks after birth while exclusively breastfeeding normal. However I also stayed on the mini pill and got my period every 2 to 3 weeks - my poor DH thought I was fibbing to get out of sex all the time. I am concerned about this because I dont know if its normal what I am experiencing because I am still breastfeeding my 28-month-old Re.

My periods are regular as is the cervical mucus however we have been unable to conceive. Like your ds my dd was sleeping through the night from about 6 weeks and am certain that this is the cause. Mothers who are breastfeeding exclusively usually dont get their periods for several months after their babies are born says Frances Jones a lactation specialist and coordinator of the milk bank at BC Womens Hospital in Vancouver.

Im exclusively breastfeeding as well and thought it was a period. My luteal phases are 14 days on avg progesterone and estrogen stable and my period returned even with exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months. My period came back at 18 months pp after ds1 ds2 is 2 and its still not back woohoo I conceived twice when ds1 was 21 22 months old.

The mirena is a progesterone IUD its more effective than the mini pill if u require contraception. My toddler is 3 12 months old we have been TTC for 15 years using the Creighton model. The average time it takes for mums who are fully breastfeeding to become fertile and start their periods is about six months.

You may experience irregular periods or spotting as a result of variances in the hormones released while breastfeeding. Well I believe it actually means your body is healing really well and youre healthy. I was exclusively breastfeeding and on the mini pill and still got my period when DD1 was just 8 weeks old.

Yes you can ovulate while breastfeeding most of my friends have conceived their second baby while breastfeeding a toddler. I breastfed exclusively for 6 months and continued to bf on demand till 19 months but my period still returned. I got my first period after about 25 - 3 months and breastfed exclusively.

I got my period when he was 1 month old. I continued breastfeeding until she was 13 months old so it didnt impact us. For a couple of weeks he started sleeping 6-8 hours a night which I think might have cause my period to return.

The only difference is. Both before and after my son was born I have experienced irregular periods but once I began to get cramps it would usually come shortly. I thought that this would return once I stop breastfeeding and not so soon.

I exclusively breast fed my son for 3 months for 45 mins to 1 12 hrs at a time. She checked me and said she thought it was lochia still. After delivery mothers experience vaginal bleeding lochia for two to six weeks.

So every woman is different. It also helps to reduce period frequency and heavieness and pain. Your period is often delayed a bit postpartum and experts say breastfeeding can keep your menstrual cycle from returning for up to 6 months postpartum.

But at my 6 week postpartum appt my OB said its unlikely a period if youre breastfeeding. Your period will eventually come back but you can start ovulating before that. Meanwhile my bub is 18mths and i still dont cycle but plenty of my friends do but he feeds all the time and i pup twice daily when at work.

- Breastfeeding at least every six hours at night. Instead of a regular schedule you may constantly miss periods while breastfeeding and get it somewhat randomly. Or it may be over a year before you start ovulating again and your periods return.

If you are truly worried call your OB. Once your period comes back it could come regularly or you could get one period and then nothing for months. Youre more likely to get your periods back sooner if.

I got my period after 3 months of exclusive breastfeeding nursed my daughter for a year. This could be a result of a decrease in nursing from say a sickness in your baby teething getting a sitter or just changes in appetite. I am exclusively breastfeeding and dont pump anymore since I am always with my son.

The breastfeeding thing is a myth. Heres what you should expect when your period returns. Unfortunately after my period ended my dd went on nursing strike and totally refused rejected my breast screaming and crying and throwing her head away which I found very.

If these conditions are met breastfeeding is a very effective method of birth control more than 98 protection. I got mine at 3 months. Some gps do the mirena otherwise a gynae can put them in.

The general rule though is that a missed period is considered more normal if. - You are breastfeeding exclusively no other foods cereal - You are breastfeeding at least six times per day. What will happen is - after a few more cycles which probably wont be regular - many women experience 45 day cylces for awhile your milk will slow down a few days before your period and during the week of your period and then come back full strength.

If you are breastfeeding you may ovulate as early as nine weeks or 10 weeks after giving birth.
