First period PP

I'm 8.5 months PP and I'm pretty sure I'm getting my first period after pregnancy 😒. I have PCOS and have been curious when I would, but thought maybe it wouldn't happen until I was done breastfeeding. I know it's probably so different for everyone, but if yours have started again and if you've had multiple kids were they any different and/or was it easier or harder to conceive a 2nd time?

I have PCOS and it became super inconsistent after giving birth. Their were months where I would bleed all month and it had me super stressed. Pp hit me hard for 2 yrs and I'm finally adjusting motherhood. I saw several OBGYN about my PCOS until I found someone who really understood what I was going through. They prescribed me YAS 3mg and I am now living my best life. I know when my period is coming which is a huge relief. We are trying for our second and it's been more work for sure, our first one took 6 months to conceive.

@heidiee Thanks! My period had been fairly consistent the last 2 to 3 years prior to getting pregnant, but it took years to conceive with one loss. Hoping my cycles will at least go back to how they were around every 45 days so I'll have some idea when my period is on the way. Guess I'll just have to give it some time and see, lol

Your body can take up to 2 yrs to recover after giving birth. Drink lots of herbal tea to heal and prenatal vitamins, it helps our bodies recover. Also if your bbfding keep yourself hydrated. I drink liquid IV during the summer but it's good to keep yourself hydrated. Good luck!!

I’m breastfeeding full time and I got my period at 2 months pp im also a oversupplier. I talked to my gyn and she told me it was ok but I’m considered highly fertile.

@Yoko Did she consider you highly fertile because you got your period early or just in general?

Yes she said that it’s more likely for me to get pregnant. Now I did more research and it could have been a switch in the timing of her feeds or some type physiological change possibly anxiety. 😭 She is my first child and I’m 31 now(bday was a week ago)
