Same here, I have pcos. I ebf too and I got my first period 5 weeks pp.. just going to see if I get a second or a pattern now x
I’m 7 weeks and mine has just come back. Also EBF. I feel robbed!
A day shy of 9 weeks, also ebf and it seems that mine has also returned 🥲
No PCOS here and I got mine back at 4w and 6w w my babies
I got a period at 6weeks pp but never got another one, currently 4 months pp
Mine came back at 6 weeks and EBF, I felt a bit short changed!
Super normal! And this is why medical practitioners want to make sure we all have contraception plans, because breast-feeding by itself is not a contraception plan!
unfortunately breastfeeding doesn’t guarantee that you won’t have a period for awhile. i was disappointed too 😅
Everyone is different i hadn't got mine before getting nexaplanon put in. About a month after that I bled for 2 weeks not heavy but similar to my reg then lightly. I haven't had a period since then. I stopped bf and pumping around 3ish months. My daughter just turned 5 months
There's a huge range of normal for this. Some people get their period back early whilst breastfeeding and some don't get it back until they wean with lots of variation in between. I don't think it's known why there is so much difference it would all be considered normal.
I had one at around 6 weeks and then not again until around 6 months...who knows lol 😅
This is normal. Everyone is different. Mine came back after 4 months, a friends still isn't back x
