Mine came back at 13 weeks - to the day! And regular since. I was still BF regularly, but not overnight since 7 weeks (darn, where did that kid go?!?!?)]]> Sun, 10 Oct 2010 15:32:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1173785&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1173785 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and AF : I haven&#039;t had AF in about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1173362&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1173362 Author: myfullhouse

I haven't had AF in about 24mths!!!!! I am feeding Ben still and it hasn't returned and if going by when Jack was a baby then it won't until I stop BFing.

Sugarbaby if the pain returns or lasts for a while then I would consider going to the Dr to have it checked. I have had bad pains 4 times since last Nov. The 5th time was just over a week ago and I had an acute appendicitis, I am sure it has been 'brewing' since last year. So it pays to get it checked]]> Sat, 09 Oct 2010 19:41:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1173362&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1173362 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and AF : Don&#039;t think that feeding...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1173329&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1173329 Author: Nutella

Don't think that feeding regularly or at night time makes a difference to be honest, I was feeding at least every four hours and mine came back when DS was only 3 months old.
Plus the feeds were really long.
It comes back when it wants to come back! And that sucks pants.]]> Sat, 09 Oct 2010 18:56:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1173329&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1173329 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and AF : No AF here and we&#039;re 7.5...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172997&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172997 Author: High9

No AF here and we're 7.5 months down the track. I've heard of AF coming back once you feed less regularly.

In saying that I have had heaps of painful period cramps and also ones which I *think* may be ovulation... about once - twice a month since 4 months (ETA: Which is also when I started the minipill).

DD was just over 10 months when mine returned. I was feeding her 4 times a day and 1-2 times a night. I was getting period like cramps every now and again for a few months before it arrived. I went to the Dr and she said it's quite normal and not to worry.]]> Sat, 09 Oct 2010 09:10:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172995&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172995 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and AF : AF came back for me when DS was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172934&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172934 Author: MrsMojo

AF came back for me when DS was 10mo, I'm still feeding him now.

Apparently AF often comes back once you're feeding less than every 4-6 hours so if you're not feeding overnight anymore that can be a factor.

I got one AF when DS was 5weeks and not another since! I did get AF pain today tho and thought she was coming but she was a no show.

I hear is quite normal for AF to be a little loopy while still BFing coz your hormones are up the hooha. Some women get it back nice and regular too tho.
I find I can feel my OV pain sometimes too]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2010 22:52:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172900&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172900 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and AF : hmmm maybe i should breastfeed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172897&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172897 Author: sugarbaby

hey I just got mine back today and am still breastfeeding pretty frequently (6 times during the day and once or twice overnight) so I was getting used to the idea of no AF but in saying that mine has come back really really light today and no cramps -which is a first for me as I usually have the worst AF ever! So it could be AF, some people get theirs back really early on, and some not until they're finished breastfeeding for good ]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2010 22:17:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172876&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172876 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and AF : Hello I dont post here very often,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172744&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172744 Author: sugarbaby

Hello
I dont post here very often, so i hope this is the right place?
I am interested to know when other people got AF back after baby? I am still exclusively feeding my daughter (12weeks) and today i got the more horendous "period" cramp. But no period??? I mean it was so bad i considered going to A and E until the pain killers finally kicked in.
I really hope AF is coming cause otherwise i dont know whats going on?
I wasnt really expecting AF while i was feeding
Advise???]]> Fri, 08 Oct 2010 20:51:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36147&PID=1172744&title=breast-feeding-and-af#1172744
