To be pissed off at the return of AF

Nooooooooo just went to the loo and discovered my period is back less than 5 months after having baby. Last time I was blissfully period free for 14 months. Both babies EBF. Sad times.

Curious to know how long others went before AF reared her ugly head again?

What’s AF?

butlerswharf · 21/06/2018 16:34

Count yourself lucky. Was 28 days for me and I was EBF.Envy

Dd1- 6 weeks, dd2, i had a mirena at 9 months, so it was years!!! Dd2 was a much bigger, hungrier baby so i guess that was the difference. Both ebf.

Aunt Flo (period)

SharronNeedles · 21/06/2018 16:35

Aunt Flo?

I was 5/6 months too and DS was my first! Gutted. I breastfed until he was 12 months but he was sleeping through from 2 months so i was told that was why :(

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 21/06/2018 16:35

The witch showed up when all of my dc were 4 weeks old despite ebf!!

SparklyMagpie · 21/06/2018 16:35

I opened this thinking you meant @AnyFucker and was going to tell you YABU

But no,what a pain in the arse :(

Crunchymum · 21/06/2018 16:36

18 months for me last time.

I was a hormonal mess though. Was much more balanced when my periods returned.

I have a 5 month old, I express as she is tube fed and I've thought period has started a few times but it hasn't appeared properly? (No I'm not pregnant!!)

Bf for 9 months. Af returned 3 months later. I remember it vividly. DD was I'll in hospital and I was on this horrific fold down bed next to her cot. Totally unprepared for it and how bad it was compared to pre child 😱

ShackUp · 21/06/2018 16:40

2 years both times! Just had my first period, DS2 just turned 2!

Tink2007 · 21/06/2018 16:43

Literally was 28 days for me both times 😩

BirthdayKake · 21/06/2018 16:44

Also thought you meant AnyFucker 😂

YorkieDorkie · 21/06/2018 16:46

10 weeks for me!

CuriousaboutSamphire · 21/06/2018 16:47

Me too! Poor old AnyFucker Sad

AnyFucker · 21/06/2018 16:47

Squelchsquerch · 21/06/2018 16:47

Who's AnyFucker?

I got my period within five weeks after giving birth after both pregnancies. Even when ebf. Bummer.

LeighaJ · 21/06/2018 16:51

The only people I know who call it Aunt Flo are people too old to have a period anymore, because they grew up in the age of menstruation shame.

8 weeks exactly, I'd love to have gone even 3 months without my period returning.

SparklyMagpie · 21/06/2018 16:53

Hope you're joking @Squelchsquerch ;)

Enko · 21/06/2018 16:54

I think 5 months is good 3 months with all of mine all EBF...

SparklyMagpie · 21/06/2018 16:54

FWIW I'm not kissing your arse @AnyFucker, hope you can see the confusion Wink

Beamur · 21/06/2018 16:55

About a year.

MaudlinMews · 21/06/2018 17:04

I thought this was going to be about AnyFucker Grin

I was about to ask if she'd been away.

pinkbobbles · 21/06/2018 17:05

I was about to respond indignantly on AFs behalf too Grin

laundrydayagain · 21/06/2018 17:07

Exactly the same as you. 14 months after dd1 and 5 months after dd2. Both EBF but they have had very different drinking patterns.
