I an31 and I just had my identical twin girls on Memorial Day just under 3 months ago. My Husband is 47 and we were not expecting this surprise. Especially twins. I'm breastfeeding and using neosure formula. My mom says I won't have my period as long as I'm.nursing but it seems that I am indeed on my first period since I got pregnant. It's very dark almost black and very heavy is it.too.soo. To use tampons?

Congratulations on the birth of your twins. Although some women are lucky enough not to have periods while breastfeeding, mine have always returned after only a few months (which is why the old wives' tale that you can't get pregnant whole breastfeeding is a myth!).

I've had all my kids naturally so have found tampons can be a bit uncomfortable in the early months but there's no reason why you can't use tampons, if they feel comfortable for you.
