Got my first period at 8 months but then got it again.
Has anybody had gone through the same? I stopped breastfeeding at 6 months, then at 8 months I got my period and it went away 6 days later. I didn’t have bleeding for a whole week and then today I got it back. No spotting, real and regular period blood. Doesn’t fill up a whole tampon but it does fill it half way. I know an OBGYN will have a more professional answer but I just wanted to see if anybody has had the same thing happen.

I haven't breastfed at all and my period has been super weird since I started getting it again in August I think. I did start taking a BC pill in late August too, so maybe that is also affecting it. I've been getting a week long period like every 2 weeks. OBGYN wasn't concerned though, just said my body was still adjusting to post-pregnancy hormones and being on the pill.
@Sara oh wow I see! That then confirms that our bodies are still adjusting. Thanks for sharing!

I feel our bodies are still adjusting. But you can still check with your ob. I had my period June two times that month . And since June, my period stopped. I'm not pregnant, but I'm still breastfeeding.
