I haven't started full-on charting yet, but I think I'll need to now. K turned 6 weeks on Friday, and she's exclusively breastfed and eats every 2 hours or sooner except at night where she might go 4-5 hours. On Sunday I had some spotting and yesterday I had spotting mixed with 10KL.
We are going to start trying for #2 in not too long, but I'd like to get a bit of a break from spotting/bleeding. I had spotting/bleeding post-peak the cycle she was conceived, I had it off and on for weeks in the first and second trimester, I had bleeding during labor, and I had just stopped spotting/bleeding after birth around 4 weeks. We haven't resumed intercourse since her birth but we'll see how long that takes since she almost never sleeps that's not on or next to someone.
I still do that..It ebbs and flows....No worries...That's what happens when you bfeed....
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened to me and then my cycles came back at 7 1/2 weeks. Ack!!! We're definitely more than open to another baby but I was hoping for a break bleeding too.
ReplyDeleteI got my cycle back at 7 weeks this time (2nd child) I had about ten days without some sort of spotting/bleeding total between giving birth and having my first pp period. Yay. It kinda sucks.
ReplyDeleteI never understand how some couples make it 6 weeks without doing anything. Maybe we're just weird. After our second child, we only lasted 17 days.
Praying that is all works out well! I can't believe she is six weeks old already!! :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous if you get your period....I might haunt you down! I'm dying for mine, shoving food in this childs mouth every chance I get. ;) hahahaha Only 1/2 joking! ;)
