Could period be returning after 7 weeks with exclusively breastfed baby?

I feel very crampy today and have a headache. Period didn't return for 5 months on dd1 but dd2 does sleep longer at night. I'm dreading it as had terrible PMS when periods returned last time.

It might not be, I get this every month around the time of my usual period, but it never comes. I am 8 months in on exclusivly BF no solids

believer07 · 02/01/2009 11:44

I mean not fully weaned yet, just bits and pieces of solids once a day.
