Rene,

The same thing happened to me, but it turned out it really wasn't my period,

just more of the blood loss from the baby. It only lasted a few days and I

haven't had any more bleeding since and Blake is almost 4 months.

This happened to me also. I was so disappointed thinking that I wasn't going

to get that lovely benefit of no periods. lol But I haven't had one since.

YEAH! lol

Rene,

unfortunately some women do have their period even if they are exclusively

breastfeeding.. I have a friend who is catholic, and has had 5 children..

even ecologically breastfed them.. meaning no paci, or anything.. and she

still gets her cycle back like clockwork..

Basically it's because everyone is different. I was one of the lucky ones

who didn't have a period the whole time I was nursing, but at that time in

my life I was only having them once or twice a year anyway. I've been much

more regular the last 2 years after losing weight, so am wondering what

will happen with me when this baby is born. There are some women who have

their period at 6 weeks, but it's not regular after that, either being

quite light when it comes or skipping months and some women get theirs back

like clockwork. I'd be bummed, too, though...I always liked that side

benefit of breastfeeding!

With my dd I got mine back at 13 months. Up until her first birthday she nursed at least every 3-4 hours around the clock. When she turned one she started going longer during the day, not at night though lol I had it regularly for 6 months until I got pregnant, first time since dd was born we didn't use a condom, lol new baby is 4 months old now and no sign of it yet :-) but I won't risk it either, he is our last baby, we are being very careful until dh gets snipped lol

Not only do you have to be exclusively bfing, but nursing at least every 3-4 hours around the clock.

I'm jumping in a little late here, but I would be curious to see the responses to this. I will be bfing exclusively also and I thought that I wouldn't get a period until the baby's about 6 months. As a matter of fact, I have read in several places that you can use bfing as birth control if you bf exclusively and only up until 6 months. Is this true? How reliable is this? I'm afraid to chance it, I get pg very easily and I wouldn't want to find out that I had ovulated too late! I need a break form being pg!24 wks. pg

Here is a link http://www.waba.org.br/lam.htm also the book Breastfeeding

and Natural Child Spacing by Kippley has a lot of good information. Just

like any birth control method there are rules that have to be followed and a

natural failure rate, although it is lower than most forms.

I think that there is a *huge* variation. My dd has been sleeping more than

10hr a night since 5mo (for the past 6 months), I am cutting back my pumping

at work, and I still haven't gotten periods back. But some women can ebf

twins round the clock and still get it in weeks.

I read in several places that before 6mo with ebf the percentage

effectiveness was similar to the pill, but when I mentioned that to my OB

during pg she freaked out and gave me a lecture. She actually has a spot on

medical records for this, so she knew at my post-partum checkup that I we

had talked about it.

My few experiences are that my body loses any semblance of control over

hormones and menstrual cycle, so I'm not expecting it for a long time...

On the other hand, if you get pregnant easily, definately don't chance it!

breastfeeding???????????/i bought some and i was afraid to take it

Laurie,

I have never heard this before. Do you have more information? Is this with hormonal birth control pills. My herbal contraindications book doesn't mention this. I would sure love to learn more.

Laurie,

I am not using hormonal birth control or using St. 's Wort. I just give a lot of information and don't like to pass something on unless I have a reference. If you run across where you read it, I would love more info. Thanks

Wendi,

I truly can't remember where I read it about the St. 's Wort. I am on so many boards and different sites and I read all the time. But I did read this recently and took note because I was reading on Moms ON line a lot of the moms were using this and bc so I made sure to let all know what I read. Just be very CAREFUL! If you are trying to avoid preg and are using bc and st. john wort. Good luck. I think it was Parent or Child magazine.
