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
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!!! 0 -
With my daughter I got my period at 4.5months PP. I exclusively pumped/breastfed0

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.0

I would be a happy camper if it stayed away forever! Mine has been dreadful ever since the beginning... :grumble:0
