Hi girls

To those of you who are breastfeeding, if you don't mind me asking, have you had a period yet? I was under the impression that breastfeeding stopped ovulation? Lucy is 9 weeks and i've just come on, guess i'm just lucky hey!? I did start on the pill a couple of weeks ago so i don't know if this has anything to do with it.

Thanks in advance x

Argh this is the 2nd time i have tried to post a reply hope it works this time. Hayden is 9 weeks and i have had two bleeds at 4 and 5 weeks both of which didn't come to anything but i am a few days away from the last pack of the mini pill and waiting to see if af shows or not as doc says it may it may not but re the ovulation i always thought yopu didstill ov as you can still fall pregnant when bf contrary to what some people think!!

Thanks for your reply, i thought that too but i've read so many posts on the breasfeeding forum with people saying their's had not appeared months down the line so i started to worry! I do that a lot lol x

I havent had anything since I stopped bleeding after the birth, although I did go onto Cerazet (sp?) after my 8 weeks checkup - do you think this was too soon maybe or have I just been lucky with that combined with the feeding? I was very concerned to not have two children under 1 cant be too careful!

Clare & Harry (13 weeks) x

I started the same pill at about the same time Clare so i think i've just been really unlucky, lol.

Hey, with my son, i breastfed him until he was 11 months and got my period a month later, 9 months being pregnant without a period and then none for a year was fab! I'm hoping i'm this lucky a second time! Molly is coming up for 11 weeks and is exclusively bf so no period.....yet!!!

It is probably a "fake" period from the pill? I'm not sure as i'm not taking the mini pill.

Hey, i'm on the mini pill too. Lucy does have one formula feed before bed (mw suggestion because of my anemia) so i wonder if this has anything to do with it? Her last breastfeed of the day is at about 7pm then the next one is when she wakes up the next morning usually at about 6am.

I've always had very heavy periods too so that might also have something to do with it.

Hi my lo is 10weeks, i was bleeding for 7WEEKS after she was born, stopped for one week then bleed for another week, at the moment it is stopped! All this and i'm breast feeding exclusively??? It has drove me mad!!I guess we are all just different!

Thank you riches, i don't feel so bad now. I had 6 weeks of bleeding after the birth and had a whole 3 weeks off so i'm going to stop feeling sorry for myself now, and worrying!

Hey hun, I still have had no period!! I am only b'feeding at last feed before bed and when she wakes up @ between 6 and 8 am the rest of her feeds are formula now. I am dreading the return on the period but we will be trying for baby 2 in a few months (like 6 I think but hubby wants another now!!) so will be nice to no everything is working again xxx

Hey Amy, i'm gutted to be on as i'm always so heavy when i am. I've just built myself back up from the blood loss at the birth so i just hope this doesn't make me ill again it being so soon. Might have to resort to liver and onions again, only kidding, never on my life will i eat that again! lol! Well meaning mil! x

Oh bless you Laura.

Lots of red meat and dark green veg is good for your iron hun. Hope it doesnt make you ill babe xxxx

Fingers crossed x I'm still taking my iron tablets from the birth too so hopefully i'll be able to keep on top of it.

Maddie is breastfed with only 2 small meals a day and is 7 motnhs old,
no period yet! yay!
but i did have post-partum bleeding for 6 weeks and then a small one a couple weeks later.

Hey Tilly, Molly (7 months) is still bf too and no period yet, yipee!

I guess we're just lucky

Loving your pics on the facebook group btw! x
