Also breastfeeding mucks around with it for a while too. So many weird hormones. Mine were very irregular while I was feeding, but my skin and hair have never been better!

I actually found for the whole three periods I have had in the last 4 years (love that breastfeeding/pregnancy combo) that the cramps and oily skin etc were worse at the time of ovulation and the actual AF was a non-event.

My AF prior to getting pg was a nightmarish 10 days (three of bad cramps, migraines having to take strong drugs to helpwith the pain) and it was heavy!

My AF after bubs was a lovely 3 day light no pain holiday lol compared to what it used to be like!

I guess i was lucky huh!

Will see what its like after this bub.

oh and it returned after about 10mths when i started weaning my bub

Well I get the oily skin and hair thing happening but I got no cramps what so ever for months and even now it's a different type of cramp feeling (I guess the no cramp thing was to compensate for getting my period back before DD was 5 weeks old and exlusively bf).

My first period was really heavy..had to change the pad every hour for the first couple of days...not like me at all! It's still heavier than what it was pre pg but I am still bf'ing and it's nowhere near as heavy as what it was.

It has been really irregular....only now do I seem to be getting close to having a normal cycle again. At first I could expect AF to come anytime from 14-23 days (I really lucked out on the no periods while bf'ing ****....I still get up and do night feeds too!). Two months ago I had a 29 day cycle, then a 27 day cycle, and today's day 27 and no AF so I'm hoping to get to day 29 this cycle. We are wanting another baby and not using any protection but I know I'm not pg so a regular cycle is second best.

I have a friend who kept getting AF type symptoms but AF still hasn't showed and her bub is over 1 now. Could just be your hormones going crazy.
