Returning period?

I think I'm about to start my period again. My body's been showing different signs lately (increased discharge) and this morning I have sort of a crampy feeling. I'm still breastfeeding my 15 month old and was wondering how my period will affect that?

MoreThis is a reply to # 806,323Hi. I have 2 girls, one is almost 3 and the other is 8 months. I got my period during breastfeeding when both of my girls were 4 months and I wasn't supplementing. It didn't affect breastfeeding at all. I think you are lucky to have gone so long without it.

This is a reply to # 806,791Hi Kim! Thanks for your reply! Yeah, it's been practically 2 years since I've had a period. I never had regular periods though which is why it took forever to conceive my son. I didn't start today and I don't feel crampy anymore so I don't really know what's going on but I can definitely tell something is different. Only time will tell I guess. Thanks again.

MoreThis is a reply to # 806,803FYI I started my period probably 8 weeks post partum and it didn't interfere with breastfeeding at all.
You are very lucky to have gone so long without it. ;)- Re: Returning period? nspeth

This is a reply to # 806,823Wow, that is early! I am lucky! I started today by the way, about 2 weeks since my post. So I must have been ovulating.

This is a reply to # 806,803Hi Nicole,
It could be that you ovulated today. I have always felt a little 'crampy' about halfway through my cycle, and figured out that it is just that I am ovulating.
This is a good thing for you if you had problems concieving and plan to have another.
When we decided to get pregnant, it took 1 try because all I had to do was wait for my mid cycle cramp.
Maybe you want to mark this one on a calendar and try to chart it for a few months to see if this is in fact the case.
Lucky you without a period all this time. I think I started again at about 8 months...which still isn't all that bad!

This is a reply to # 806,892Thanks Sherri! Yep, it looks like I was ovulating because I just started my period today, about 2 weeks later! I never had regular cycles (hence why it took so long for us to have our son) so I'm hoping I will be regular now. Time will tell.
