New menstrual changes during breastfeeding

I just got my second period after having a miscarriage. More on that soon. It's weird. Remember I wrote about how ovulation found me experiencing sudden letdown issues, resulting in less output but normal everything during periods? Well, now things have become the exact opposite! They do say that your menstrual cycle can change with each pregnancy you go through, so it makes sense. When I ovulated this cycle, I really wasn't sure if it was actually happening or not. I did not feel any nipple soreness during breastfeeding, no letdown delay, no supply drops, no stomach cramps... nothing! I just saw some extra discharge but that could have been anything. I still marked that day down in my calendar.

Two weeks later to the day I get my period. So I guess something did happen then. I just felt no breastfeeding-related symptoms. However, I got them now with my period! Guess I can't escape it. I feel the soreness, the stunted letdowns, less swallowing on Sam's part, and all that. However, the period itself didn't come with its own symptoms (yay!) like cramping, vaginal itching etc.

So if you're feeling despondent about how your body is running through its menstrual cycles in a way that's much more annoying than it ever used to be, don't despair. It can change yet again, and hopefully for the better.
