Awful topic I know but its driving me nuts and I want to know if you all think I need to see the Dr or not (not keen on paying $$ for no reason!) Anyway, got my period back after 6 weeks (feel very ripped off about that even tho I'm b/fing). Bled for one week (started minipill on the first day), had two weeks off, bled one more week, one week off, now its back again! Argh! Do you think its cos of the pill or just my body going a bit haywire after birth? 
Any help most appreciated  ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I hate to give you the bad news but that sounds pretty normal to me Aimee! Unfortunately it just takes awhile for your body to sort it all out after birth and throwing the mini pill into the mix can't be helping.
I finished bleeding when Alex was nearly 2 weeks old then exactly a month after his birth I got my period! Talk about rip off! What happened to not getting your period when exclusively breastfeeding?!?!?! It took about 9 months to get back into a pattern then on the 10 month I got pregnant again. I wouldn't go to the doctor unless its very very heavy or if you think something doesn't feel right. Its all pretty natural I'm afraid ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs! Soon to be surrogate |

Hopefully your body will sort itself out again soon.
I'm on the minipill and had two periods last month. Not impressed. Especially because it made me freak about pregnancy. Actually still freaked but then again I always am due to my pregnancy with Hannah when I ignored everything until 16 weeks had passed. I'm just hoping with my extra period that means I get two months period free  Wishful thinking I know

I bled for forever after i had paris, nearly 7 and a half weeks, then didn't get mine back after paris until about 5 months when i stopped feeding her exclusively, but with it came terrible stuff, horrendous cramps, i'd wake up in the middle of the night and start shaking uncontrollably and couldn't stop it, i'd go faint and ick.... i dreaded each month - for me it just went back to monthly straight away.
After ayja so far i've only had it 2 times, straight back to monthly again and none of the horrible illness, just REALLLLLY catty and crabby.. i hate hormones! I'd probably say Aimme that the mini pill might be what's mucking it all up for you but if you're concerned go see your doc, who might be able to offer other solutions. I know of a fair few people who have had probs with taking that and having periods here there everywhere. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

| hey Ana, I went back to work when jkae was 3 months so wasn't exclusively breastfeeding then, and stopped completely at 4 months, so that could have something to do with the quick pregnancy too. |

BTW, i joined another forum  and one lady had a go at me about not knowing i was pregnant for so long. what a b^&*(%h. I wasn't impressed at all. So glad our Ohbaby ladies are non-judgemental...well, at least we think things rather than writing them down!

lizzle... what a dick! (hrm, that's all i could come up with) i didn't find out with hannah until the same time as you with B2, it was just unfortunate circumstances where i was able to put symptoms down to other things at the time. a hangover and morning sickness are pretty damn similar
mind you, i probably wouldn't use that argument with her

One of my friends was really worried she had cancer because she was vomiting in the shower every morning and really tired etc. So she put off going to the doctor. Then she found out she was like 16 weeks pregnant. TA DA. I think it took her a while to get her head around it, but its def not unusal for people not to know they are pregnant for a while.
Esp if you already have one child and are BF or you periods havent come back. Maybe she just jelous Liz cause you so fertile ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

| dunno. I also was looking at the Names place in the same forum. Now, I have a particular taste in names - as does everyone else, but I would NEVER say "how could you think of naming your child that - it's so weird", but some people had made those comments. It's so rude!! |

yeah sometimes the everybody board has some really good sticky topics and lots of times people arnt open to others views or are really judgemental. Its fun just to go and to read and have a giggle at how its all taken so personally. ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

He he, I thought I had the flu or something when I was first preggers. Jono had just come back from overseas and brought some foreign cigarettes (yes, I know, naughty smoking person.... that was in my previous life!!) and after I had one I felt really sick and blamed the ciggy!! Then it was my birthday and we went out and got rollicking drunk and the next day (which was when I found out I was knocked up) I was so sick I could barely move and thought it was just a hangover.... he he I never once thought I'd be pregnant - esp as two specialists told me I'd not be able to have children after having cervical cancer.
