[kookie]

tylers 4 and 1/2 months now i exclusively breastfeed im not on any birth controll except POM (pull out method) and of course breast feeding this morning i had some browny discharge and on and of all day but no other symptoms of AF returning i figure it must be coming coz what else could it be? has anybody elses AF returned yet if so when?

i had the same discharge about 5 weeks postpartum but thought it was just "leftover" but maybe not?

I got my first one at about 6 months probably about the time I wasn't feeding from evening till morning.

i'm confused i've been spotting on and off and heaps of CM for almost a week now BUT dont have AF pains.

Are you worried you might be PG?

I didn't have periods when i breastfed any of my kids. With my first i was breastfeeding exclusively, andwas also on the mini pill. When i still hadn't had aperiod after 4+ months, i took a pregnancy test, and guess what? I was pregnant!! There is 12 1/2 months between my eldest 2.

my periods are almost painless since childbirth!

the thought had crossed my mind being PG but surely i'm not.
