AF again??

Geez... I know I went without it for 9 months ... but this is rediculous...

I have had AF 3x now since Aidan has been born ... Thanksgiving Week, the week BEFORE Xmas, and now again - the week after Xmas ...

Is this normal? Before I had Aidan my period was irregular but not coming closer, it came further apart...

At what point should I call and ask the dr if its a problem? Should I just wait to see when it comes again after this?

Your body is trying to get back to normal. I would let it be if it was me and if it came again before 28 days I would call the doc and ask.

After Nicole was born I bled for 5 months because of the birth control shot. I went to see the dr, he said there was nothing he could do, when I switched doctors after my period was normal, he told me there was something they could have done!

I know I messed with birth control after Cedric, and I didn't stop bleeding either. They put me on a different kind of birth control pill to regulate my cycle, which helped. My hormones were completely messed up. I would just sit through this one, but if it happens again, definitely call them, they can regulate it for you.

Mine was really screwy after Ally was born. I thought it would go back to normal on it's own, so i neve called the doctor about it. Then I developed PPD. Seems very irregular periods can be one of the symptoms, so I would have it checked out - just in case.

After Tyee I was bleeding like every 2 weeks but I was also on the mini pill and my midwife told me that could happen. It kept coming closer and closer so I just stopped taking it. Then they started coming like every other month. I was nursing too so I know that had a little to do with it.

they call the bleeding in between periods "break through bleeding" it's hormonal. Not enough estrogen talk to your doc about increasing your birthcontrol dosage.....

i get this often and it really sucks it feels like a real period however it doesn't seem to last as long. i hate it!

I had two periods in one month...I doubt it's anything to worry about.

When I am not pregnant or breastfeeding I can get two periods in a month or a very, very short one. I used to be regular and now I am not. I am not on BC and never will be again (no offense I also don't advocate it) I would talk to your dr just in case. It could also be a sign of PCOS or Endometriosis.
