Has anyone got their first period?

Well as some of you know I bled for 6 weeks, I had an infection. Today 2 weeks since I stopped bleeding I just started again (of course Im preying its my period and not another infection!) and I was wondering what I should expect? With my son I got my first period about 2 months later and it seemed normal.
I dont want to stress about having another infection so I would like to hear from you guys about what it was like for you!
Thanks!!

I still haven't had a period yet. I'm not sure when I'll ever have another one. Maybe I'll get lucky and never see it again.

I had my first period on Feb 2nd, which surprised me because I am still exclusively breastfeeding.  So far, nothing yet in March - but I do not expect it to be back to a regular schedule at first.

I learned awhile ago not to compare ANYTHING about my pregnancies.  After 2 miscarriages and 6 full term pregnancies I've come to realize that they are ALL completely different with maybe a few similiarities between a few of them :)

I just cant get over how different this is from my first two!
I'm not pregnant! I already did a test and nope! :-( lol
I'd be almost 5weeks and no line!
So I'm going to see the doctor for my yearly girly check up so we'll see what he says!

It's possible it could take your body awhile to flush out the hormones used for breastfeeding and reregulate.  It's also possible that you got pregnant your first cycle.  It happened to me with DS6.  I'm sure you've already thought of that tho!!

I am slowing down on pumping and working on stopping completely.  I'm down to two times per day. My supply is really dropping so it won't be long before it's gone completely, we'll see how long it takes AF to come back for me!

I'm still pumping and Lily is on breastmilk exclusively.  NO AF yet.  No signs of it either.  
I've had some CM, not much tho.  Also had some abdominal AF-like cramps occasionally, but it never produces anything.  My goal is to try and make it to 6 months before I stop pumping.

I have not had the slightest sign that mine is returning, but I am exclusively breastfeeding, so that is not surprising.

I'm still pumping and doing breastmilk exclusively. I've been a little lax on the pumping and my supply has dropped some but I'm still able to keep up with her.  I haven't decided when I'm going to stop either.  I figure that I'll know when the time is right, just like I have with my others.  

Still nothing as far as AF goes for me.   Probably a combo of the depo shot plus the pumping.  The depo shot wears off this month and I won't be getting it again so we'll see what happens.
