 Alex is just over 2 months old now, and I still haven't gotten my first AF post-partum.  How long did it take most of you before AF arrived?  Also, I am not breastfeeding, as I know that makes a difference sometimes too. 

I am getting super moody and eating everything in sight... So I'm hoping it is coming soon.  

As much as I love being a mom, I'm not quite ready for #2 yet, and want to schedule an IUD! 


Alex's reaction after Mommy told him that he wasn't going to be a big brother anytime too soon!

I had my son July 16, and only pumped the 2 weeks while he was in the NICU.  I didn't get AF bac****il Sept 30!!!  It took 2 1/2 months. BTW, it was the AF from H... !!  I seriously thought I was was like bleeding to death!  Not really!  But it was bad!!!  The next one after that was back to normal.  Believe me, yes, I know you want it back to resume normalcy, but enjoy it while it isn't here!

Hi there ... Mine came about a month and a half after I stopped breastfeeding. It wasn't too bad, just a hassle, really. I did not miss that thing!

Im a lurker, and hardley ever post (not TTC for another 5 months) but I just had to say that your baby could possibly be one of the cutest i've ever seen! :)

Super proud mommy to Dylan, Owen and Sophia Brianne!

OMG---that little pouty face!!!!! Okay back to anwsering your question. I did not breastfeed Nikolas(yes, it makes a difference) and I had my period nine weeks to the day after my c-section. I was on here asking the same question right about where you are now and then---BAM!--AF came out swinging and moody...lol.

Be prepared. Post partum AFs tend to go to either extreme. They are fierce and aweful, or really light.

Give that precious boy snuggles.

 Thanks Angie!  He was hilarious with that pouty face yesterday.  

I'm hoping I come out on the lighter side of the extreme :)
