1) When did you get it? 5 month PP and I was pissed! 2) Was it horrible? The first 2 were pretty light, then I started getting some clotting. They are still like clock work but heavier 3) Did you feel it coming on or did it surprise you? Totally shocked me, of course it was the weekend of her baptism when we had guest staying with us, not the best timing

1) When did you get it? It came the day after my daughter turned one, even though she wasn't sleeping through the night and was nursing a ton.
2) Was it horrible? It wasn't too bad. I woke up the night before with a stomachache. I felt pretty bad, but it didn't last a long time and I was able to go back to sleep.
3) Did you feel it coming on or did it surprise you? I was surprised, because I didn't realize I had cramps the night before, until I started the next day. I just assumed it was a random stomachache.

DS - 19m, and it was horrible (and then disappeared again for a couple of months). DS - 23m, and it was normal.
It took so long to return both times that I was anticipating it, and for a few months before it actually returned, I felt like my fertility was returning (CM, etc).
I've had two so far, 30 days apart like clockwork. My baby is 5 months old today.
Seems maybe a tad bit heavy on day 2 but nothing crazy. I got it back right around 4 months pp both times previously so I was on high alert. I also had horrible pms so I had a feeling it was on it's way. I'm on cycle day 11 today and have ovulation pain so I'm back on track and scared to death to ever have sex again lol.

3 months PP No I don't remember, but I was not amused that it showed up so early! It skipped the next month but was back for good at 5 months. I joked with MH that my body was all, "I love making babies, let's do it again!" No, body. Just no.

1. 11 months 2. It was super heavy but I didn't have cramps or other problems any more than I did pre-pregnancy. I'd read some people say their first wasn't so terrible but the second one was awful but I haven't found that to be true (I've got my second one now). It's still heavier than I've ever had before though. 3. It was a surprise. I was (am) still nursing pretty often so I didn't expect it quite yet, especially with no symptoms as a warning.
1) I had a short one right around 6 weeks, but haven't had another or sign of another since. 2) No 3) Surprised me because I thought I'd get at least a few months.
1. Initially came a couple days after I started the mini-pill 6 weeks PP. It was terrible- I was super crampy, moody & miserable. I stopped taking the pill & it went away after a few days (but had lasted 8+ total). Didn't return until 8 mos pp when DD cut back on nursing.
2. Awful, awful the first time, when it came back at 8 mos it was exactly like pre-baby.
DS: Never got one, Nursed for 27 months on minipill, got KU with DD first month off the minipill.
DD: Still waiting, but I just got the Mirena so I suspect I won't be getting one. I may have gotten one around 4 months, but not quite sure if it was that or from my failed Mirena insertion.
It's been almost 4.5 years since my last real period and I can't say I miss it much!
