When does she generally reappear? I'm just over 4 months PP, EBFing, I've had some light spotting followed by crampiness twice within the past 10-ish days. I'm not ready for my period to come back! It has always been a horrible experience and I've been enjoying the freedom from the discomfort and not having to buy tampons. :sad:

    It may just be random spotting, but it also could be the start:cry: With Elsie (my oldest), I exclusively breastfed til about 10 1/2 months, and got my period about 7/8 months post-partum. Unfortunately though, every woman's different and there's no rhyme or reason...I hope for your sake She's not here yet!!!

    Hopefully it stays away for us both!! I've enjoyed not having one in over a year!

    Mine showed back up at 11 weeks PP but I had to stop breastfeeding at 7 weeks PP. I have heard from friends of mine who haven't had theirs reappear and their children are almost 1 year old while EBF. Then there is my sister in law who starts having hers within the 2nd month after giving birth and EBF. I guess everyone is different.. I have never had issues with mine and it doesn't always show up every month before I had children.

    I would be a happy camper if it stayed away forever! Mine has been dreadful ever since the beginning... :grumble:
