Pre-preg I had awful cramps, now...nothing! I'm loving it!!
It's been 3 months now, so I'm hoping it stays this way!

It's funny because I can remember my mum saying the same thing once.

i went onto cerrezette at 6 weeks and had my first period around a month later and it last 3 weeks. i thought i would give it a chance and see how the next month went... i am now on my 3rd packet and stopped them last night. i am on my 3rd period and so far it has lasted over a week and i know (TMI COMING UP) that i still have another weeks plus to go because of the colour of it.

I am going to see a family planning clinic to get back on Micronor as i was on this years ago and it more or less stopped my periods, hoping it will do it again.

After my daughter my periods were normal every 28-32 days. x

I've only had one since Lucas was born when he was about 8 weeks old, and it was much heavier than they used to be.

Still not had one yet and I'm not looking forward to having them again! I guess it'll come once LO starts eating more and bfing less.

Don't know. Still not had one. BF is great. No PMT either.
I'm sure it will be nasty when i finally get one.

i had a c section. got my first period about 4 weeks after having Willow and that lasted a wek and a half and was super heavy!

then my second one was ok .. very crampy though.
i stopped then a few days later bled again for like an hour or two.

then my third one ( which ended almost a week ago)
was weird. heavy one minute .. then light then exteremly heavy stc.
very very crampy.
stopped after about 5/6 days.
2 days later i bled again randomly for like an hour .. then it stopped.
then the next night it did the same thing but was for a few good hours.

so mine is pretty much all over the place.
