What's with my period?

So I had the babies and bled and bled and bled for weeks afterward. But it wasn't my period. Something called lochia.

Good times.

My OBGYN gives me Jolivette birth control, the safe one to use when breastfeeding, and I left the office without asking when I should start taking the pill.

Usually they are taken the first Sunday after your period. But does my lochia count? Do I wait until a Sunday?

I called. Supposed to start taking right away. But I wait until a Sunday so I was in tune with the pill dispenser.

Three weeks pass. And I anticipate my period. Not coming. Not coming. Not coming.

I know I'm not pregnant again because, well, I haven't ventured there yet.

Yeah, it's been a while. Let's just say my hubs and I have been creative.

So I'm wondering where this period is since it's almost time to restart the new pack of pills.

I talked to my friend and new mom Michelle about it and she tells me that if you are breastfeeding, chances are you won't get your period.

Now why didn't my OBGYN tell me that?

As if I needed another reason to breastfeed for as long as possible...here is another!
