Period back after 8 1/2 weeks? Worried! (TMI)
Ok girls please give me some advice on this......
So I am exclusively Breast feeding my little boy who is going to be 9 weeks old on saturday.
I stopped my 'post partum' bleeding at about 2 1/2 weeks and stopped the 'discharge' at about 6 1/2 weeks.
Today I found some blood in my knickers and, at first was not too worried as it was only a relatively small ammount and so assumed that it was my period starting up again. However I am now worried as I didn't think periods were meant to start this quickly when BF.
Is it 'normal/ok' to start having periods this early when BFing?
(For extra info Robert has about 1 expressed bottle feed every 2 days or so, but other wise is exclusivly bf, uses a dummy for a short time every day and tends to sleep for about 5 1/2 - 6 1/2 hours at night, followed by 1 hour awake and then another 3 asleep and has done since birth!)

when i went on mini pill doc said i may get period but still no sign of it!!! yipee!!
hope this helps love fiona & hayden 18wks
On the slight plus side.......my periods used to be really painful and this one is hardly painful at all so, if I have to have them back early then at least they don't hurt as much!
