AF has decided to resume her monthly visits and I'm only 5 weeks post-partum. I'm exclusively breastfeeding TWO babies, my newborn who feeds every 2-3 hours and my toddler who feeds 2-3 times a day. I don't pump or use a soother and have enough milk to feed an army, and still she returns. She returned after 8 weeks with my first. Both were 2 weeks after the lochia stopped. Aren't I lucky?

As much as this sucks, the good news is I know that I have to use some form of birth control if I don't want another baby and I don't have to wonder for months if the lack of AF is due to breastfeeding or if I'm pregnant again.

Anyone else want to whine about AF's visits?

My periods started way early, too! I couldn't believe it, I had a period toward the end of February and Connor was born the end of January! They're pretty erratic, well, maybe they aren't, I was on the pill so long, I don't know how they're supposed to be and I never got a chance to find out when I went off, I got pregnant so fast.

I have to say, I sure did NOT miss those periods... I'd forgotten what a pain they are!

That sucks!  DD is 7.5 months and my period is still no where in sight.  I know a lot of moms though who got their period right away even though they were bfing.
