CariannDS My period is back to being pretty normal now. It gradually started comming back when my daughter was about 15 or 16 months. It was pretty irregular at first becuase I was on the breastfeeding pill which dosen't allow you to cycle so I was having alot of spotting. My doctor decided it was o.k. to put me back on the regular pill even though I am still breastfeeding and now my period seems to be cycling normally with no added cramping or flowing.

When I was younger, before I was on birth control, I had terrible periods with unbelievable cramping. When I final went on birth control it improved greatly.

I would say try changing your birth control, but If I remember correctly you are trying to have another baby. Maybe you could check with your doctor.

Sorry, if I could help.
silversky32 I'm not sure what causes the changes in menstruation after pregnancy, except maybe a fluctuation in hormones. After my first my period was lighter, shorter, and all my cramps went away. After my second everything got significantly worse and stayed that way. I'm hoping this baby will push me back to short and easy lol.
happy2bme Did anyone here experience worse cramps with your periods after having a baby? I didn't get my period back after having my son until he was 9 months old because I breastfed, and when he was 9 months I quit taking the "mini pill" and my period came back. That was in August of last year, and it seems like my periods start a couple of days later and I cramp alot worse a few days before I ever start. I am supposed to start tomorrow and I started having terrible cramps in my sides (like my ovaries) on Tuesday and it's been on and off in my sides and in my back since then. I don't understand why it's like that.
