Apparently 1/3 of people have normal periods on the MP, 1/3 of people have irregular bleeding, and 1/3 have no period at all.

I'd do a preg test every now and again just to be sure... or use condoms in your most fertile times as I'm a bit skeptical about the minipill being a good preventer.

But then again, you don't sound as though you'd be horribly disappointed if you did get preg so you'll be fine!! ]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 13:04:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=312790&title=an-af-problem#312790 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=312375&title=an-af-problem#312375 Author: babyg

I stopped BF 6wks ago, but was not exclusive for 4wks before that and am also not on a pill.

I've just started my first AF since my bleeding stopped 6wks after labour. Don't worry Bel - i came close to testing too and although i wasn't even thinking about having another bundle anytime soon, i was a little saddened by the confirmation that i'm not pregnant.

Cluck, cluck, cluck!]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:17:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=312375&title=an-af-problem#312375 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=311600&title=an-af-problem#311600 Author: bookwyrm

I finished bleeding after birth at around four weeks. Three days ago I started bleeding again (heavy for one day and light for the past two. I am unsure whether this is AF or just some random bleeding after my original bleed.

I stopped breastfeeding at three weeks. And I haven't yet started my mini-pill.

Any ideas?]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:14:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=311600&title=an-af-problem#311600 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=311089&title=an-af-problem#311089 Author: peanut butter

I found after the first 2 babies that I would having spotting every couple of weeks! I was on the mini-pill. So I went off it, and my AF returned to normal.

I haven't gone on the mini-pill yet since having Jett. We're just using condoms. I've had 2 periods since having Jett but I haven't noted them on the calendar, so I'm not sure how many days my cycle is. But DH & I are careful everytime, since I fell pg with Jett by not using protection ONCE!]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:50:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=311065&title=an-af-problem#311065 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=310946&title=an-af-problem#310946 Author: peanut butter

I've had one AF so far and that was 5weeks ago. I thought it was starting last week when I got a reddish/brown sludgy spot (TMI) but nope, nothing came of it.

Anyone else find their AF really irregular after bubs?]]> Mon, 25 Feb 2008 12:48:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=310946&title=an-af-problem#310946 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=309287&title=an-af-problem#309287 Author: Rachael21

Bel I still haven't had AF, and as you know I'm not BF. It's been 10 weeks since I stopped BF, so I thought AF would have returned by now. I guess it can take a long time for things to settle down and get back to normal.

OK so I tested and it was negative... silly thing is that DH and I were even a little disapointed...

But we are back in the land of the living now and want to enjoy our boy for a bit longer - and get a bigger house, before we have any more littlies.

SO now I guess I keep waiting and see what happens next, am enjoying not having AF, but cang et a bit worrying at times...

I have had a/f back twice Bel, both times it only lasted one day each and that was over two months ago. I am exclusively b/f as you already know.

Maybe you should do a test ]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:27:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307482&title=an-af-problem#307482 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307464&title=an-af-problem#307464 Author: popcorn

hhmm not sure, maybe you should take a test then you know for sure. I would say its doing the same as us, another lady in my coffee group did the same just had some bleeding one time then it hasnt come back so it may be common ???]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:04:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307464&title=an-af-problem#307464 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307457&title=an-af-problem#307457 Author: Bel

Am still BF, but not quite exclusively...(formula top-up at night) also Luke has been sleeping over 8hrs overnight since about 6 weeks...

It lasted 4 days, was pretty much a normal period for me, but I have never had extremely heavy ones anyway...]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:59:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307457&title=an-af-problem#307457 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307453&title=an-af-problem#307453 Author: .Mel

Hey Bel
I had some bleeding after the mini pill and then havent had it back so might be the same sort of thing. Mine wasnt like a real period at all, just a day or two of bleeding again.
Was yours like a real period? ]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:46:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307449&title=an-af-problem#307449 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307441&title=an-af-problem#307441 Author: Bel

Ok, so I stopped bleeding after birth at around 4 weeks. Then got AF around 5 weeks later - first week after starting mini pill. I have not had anything since and was over 6 weeks ago.

Is it possible that it was not AF, but just some bleeding?

Or am I pregnant... (I will test eventually... in denial)]]> Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:39:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14654&PID=307441&title=an-af-problem#307441
