Well it has been 19 months since I have been privileged to read the ‘fun facts Libra pads’ share with the female race once a month.

After the grand arrival of my periods after 19 months, post pregnancy and birth of my baby, I was relieved to see their return. I feel normal again! However I was the tiniest bit disappointed as I was hoping I was going to be some ‘super’ women and not get them until I fully weaned my baby from breastfeeding and get a full 12 months without them post baby.

After being totally unsure of what to even expect when they returned I was pleasantly surprised how easy the return of my periods turned out. Returning Wednesday morning when I woke, only because my daughter had woken up and wanted a feed, they came totally random and unexpected (as I had no clue when, where or how they would would return). The first day or 2 were very light and as the days passed they became a little heavier BUT no heavier than an average period. Then again the final day or two they became light again. They lasted 4-5 days.
