Anyone that’s exclusively breastfeeding started their cycle?

I started mine at about 7 weeks for about 4ish days and then bled again the past 3 days. Idk if it was a period or not but will be speaking with my ob at my 12 week appt
It’s completely normal for it to come earlier. It’s unfortunate but true that it doesn’t delay it as often as people think. It’s a biological mechanism that is signaling you aren’t getting enough sleep/calories/nutrients to sustain a viable pregnancy and nurse your infant (aka your body is under too much stress) but if the markers are met your body will resume its cycle. Tons of women don’t get delayed cycles with ebf.
@Aubry so the early cycles or the delayed cycles mean we’re not getting enough sleep/ calories/ nutrients? Sorry I didn’t really understand…
It can happen! Not abnormal.
Mine came at 4 weeks. I was also surprised. I’ll be asking my OBGYN about it tomorrow at my 6 weeks appointment.
