Nope, 7 weeks pp here. With my first, I didn’t get it back for almost 10 months

6.5 weeks pp and I think I'm ramping up to start, but I haven't yet. Exclusively pumping, and the Dr wasn't convinced when I told him why I thought I thought I may have been starting on Friday

Nope! I'm formula feeding, but it's been almost 10 weeks and nothing. I had some cramping last week and thought it was coming but it was really a kidney stone 🙃

I’m 9 weeks pp and still haven’t gotten mine

Yes, I got it a few days ago and it only lasted a couple days

I told my doctor at my post-partum check up (1 day before I was 6 weeks postpartum) that I felt mine coming, she told me breastfeeding mommas usually don't get it for several months. Put in my IUD which has a tendency to stop periods and here I am having a full blown period at 7.5 weeks post-partum 🙃

Nope 7 weeks pp but only having cramping no blood

@Brianna that’s what I’m hoping for. We’re exclusively breastfeeding?

9 weeks pp and haven't gotten mine

@Elizabeth yes!

@Brianna no pumping? My doctor said pumpkins can bring back your period bc then you skip meals later

Yes, I got mine shortly after putting the copper IUD (6 weeks postpartum) in. I breastfeed too!

With my first I didn’t get it until 6m pp. I’m 8w pp and still nothing. I just got my birth control today so we’ll see when it comes

I haven’t started and I’m 8 weeks

I’m 8 weeks and I haven’t started. But with my first pregnancy I got my period after my son turned 1. With my second pregnancy I started after 6 months. I guess we will see with this one.

@Elizabeth first time I was pumping like 4-5 times a day, this time maybe once every other day if I’m lucky 🫠

@KyLeigh same here! I expected a horrid one but it seems to have disappeared after 2 days...
