Periods after pregnancy

So I've had my 1st period after having DS 11 months ago and I've reached day 32 of my cycle and still no af. I'm still bf but it hasn't increased again at all.

I was just wondering if cycles return to normal straight away or if there's a period where it can keep changing? My cycles were slightly unpredictable before anyway but as we have dtd this month I'm thinking of using my only pg test to see if should I wait for af?

Im also breastfeeding, had baby in early spring, had my first period on Halloween and the next nearly two months later on Christmas day!, after that it was back to its usual monthly pattern.

Ok, that helps. Thanks Gold. I'll try and keep the crazy at bay.

It seems I've spun right back to my ttc days with all the tww and pos thoughts like I'm back on cycle #36 and not #1!!

I would test. I was BF Dd2 and my periods came back 7m after birth. Anyway, I had that one period, we then had sex one time (first time since dd2) during the month that followed and my period didn’t come back as I was pregnant with DD3.

Having tried for 6months with DD2 (and currently on cycle 12 ttc #4) this was a surprise.

How long was it until you realised you were pg with dd3 Everything?

I tested the day before I was due because it was my birthday and I fancied a drink and it was bfn. When AF wasn’t here two days after she was due I tested and it was positive.

So I've been headachey and nauseous so I caved and tested in the middle of the day yesterday (day 35) and got a bfn.

Sick of this in betweeny stage with cramps but no period and no bfp!
