PP period

[skiesthelimit]

I had spotting on Sunday night and have had a very light flow (so light I don't even think I can call it a "flow") yesterday and today. I was expecting my first PP period to be super heavy. Is this normal? X was up to nurse in the MOTN last night and now I'm scared my period will go away and I'll stop ovulating again.

What was your first PP period like? Were you BFing at the time?

I had a period at 3 months PP and again at 4 months PP when my supply was really low. I started taking domperidone and once my supply picked back up again my period stopped for a whole other year. I'm scared its going to stop again

Ugh my post was eaten. Trying again.

I was still nursing 1x "overnight" (around 4 a.m.) when I got my first pp period at 11 months. My first one was pretty light. The rest have been just a smidge heavier than they were pre-pg.

We nursed 1x "overnight" until I weaned him two weeks ago.

Mine was SO HEAVY. Like a murder scene in my panties.

This is reassuring. The other 2 I had at 3 and 4 months PP were crazy heavy, like having to wear a super long overnight pad 24/7 heavy. This one is so light I could get away with a liner.

Should I have added a TMI warning?

No way! I was just kidding!

Haha that's what I thought. I was gonna ask you if I should include a PIP. Too much?

My first one was fairly light, now they are further apart and super super heavy.

[fusion]

mine was fairly light, and have been mediumish since

All of mine have been on the lighter side. My last one was heaviest but still okay with regular tampons.

Aren't you TTC? Maybe implantation bleeding?! Does that last more than one day?

My first PP period was the first time I've bled through my clothes since I was in 6th grade. I was regularly bleeding through a super plus tampon and a pad. It was bad. If yours was light I'd be very happy!

Mine was around 4 months pop and I had just weaned a few weeks before. The first few were terrible. Super heavy and painful. I've always had a heavy period but nothing like this. The last few have been much more manageable though.

My first one was only 3 days and not very heavy and I was breast feeding. It's slowly gotten heavier and longer.

This was me, H was 20mos and I was nursing/pumping and it was insane the first 3-4 months. AF has not returned yet this time but I feel like I should prepare with some Depends or other heavy artiliary.

My first (and only so far) was over a month ago and lighter than normal. I used to have them super heavy before baby.

Not TTC yet but we will this cycle. X has started BFing more lately so I'm worried that my period being light means it's going to disappear again. I didn't even have to wear a pad or tampon last night and just had very light spotting. Sounds like I'm not the only one though so that's reassuring! Hopefully I am ovulating and we can start TTC as planned.

Oh I am not looking forward to this at.all.
