Hi folks
This is my first post, though I've been lurking for a few weeks.
My question is this: has anyone else experienced NO missed periods at all in spite of exclusively breastfeeding? After the birth of ds, I bled for 4weeks, then 2 weeks later I had my first period!! At that time was breastfeeding about 2 hourly day and night. My cycle pretty much established itself back to normal straight away.
I have never met anyone else this has happened to, all my friends had months and months without periods. I just wondered whether anyone else has experienced this.
DS is now 10 months - I b/fed exclusively for 16 weeks and stopped completely at 6 months. When I introduced solids (16 weeks) he underwent such a personality change that I now feel he may have been hungry much of the time before, and wonder whether my supply was always a bit marginal, and that the return of my periods is an indication of this (not to mention feeling somewhat cheated of one of the rewards of b/feeding!!). But that may be for another thread so I'll stop there.
Look forward to hearing from you
