After periods returned w/ my last baby, they were preceded by a couple
days of what you describe. I guess it's all in how you look at it.
*I* counted myself lucky to have a private advance warning of
impending periods - no calendar watching required. It continued *for
some years* after total weaning, and eventually stopped. I assumed it
was related to birth, not breastfeeding, and let it go at that, as did
my dr. Point out the advantages to her!
