Period-when did it come back?

ladylisalt

What week did your period come back after you finished nursing? I am 10 weeks out and still nothing, bf fro almost 3 weeks. Normal right?

I BF DD and did not get my period back before I got pregnant with DS. She was 10 or 11 mos when I got pregnant with him. I got my period back around 9 mos PP with DS (also BF) but it was wonky.

I bf for 3 weeks and it came back at 7 weeks pp.

I BF for only 10 days and got my period at 12 weeks pp, but I've always had weird cycles and expect more of the same.

I BF for 5 weeks and just got mine yesterday (11 weeks pp) And it is horrible! Worst cramps & heaviest flow ever!!! Good luck girl!

Exactly a month after I completely stopped BFing (about 8 months PP).

Mine didn't come back until 2 months after I stopped BF DS ( he was 9 months)

I got mine back at 5 weeks pp and I was (still am), exclusively breast feeding my son.

With DD1 I stopped nursing at 6 weeks and got it back when DD1 was 4 months old. 

I am still nursing DD2 and haven't gotten it, she is 9 weeks.

I breastfed exclusively and it came back around 12 weeks postpartum (almost exactly 6 weeks after the lochia stopped). I got a Mirena though, so it went away again which was awesome.

2 weeks.    So disappointed.

LO is EBF and I got my period at 8 weeks pp

I breastfed both my sons for a year and it came back when they were about 11 months. This time I'm also breastfeeding and I just got it at 6 weeks pp. I'm hoping it's a fluke and maybe it won't come back for awhile. It's very light and I've had no cramps.

Got mine at 4 weeks after birth, then again at 8 weeks... I am EBF but guess it varies for everyone..

EBF and Aunt Flo apparently did not get the memo because I'm almost 10 weeks PP and she's been here twice. It is totally normal, though, to not get a period while BF. The only time my OB told me to worry, was if it was heavy while BF, other than that, enjoy not having to deal with it

Not until i was down to 1 feeding at 16 months

With DS, I breastfed (& pumped while at work) and didn't get my period back for a year. I stopped pumping about 10.5 months, still breastfed in the evenings, my period came back the same week he turned 1 year.

So I am 12 weeks pp and only BF for 3 weeks. Should I be concerned with no period yet? 

stefchic24

I BF for about 3 weeks and I got it around 7 weekspp

ladylisalt

yes, this is why I am asking since I bf the same time as you and am rounding 12 weeks

I am not breastfeeding at all. My doc told me to expect it anywhere from 6-12 weeks. Period came back at 8 weeks to the day. Lasted for almost 12 days. Had my next one 28 days later and it was a totally normal (for me) 5 day period.

I bf for 1 weeks, then at 6 weeks started on BC pill. Have just gotten to my week of placebo pills so assuming it will come back this week (10 weeks PP). Anyone start on the pill before getting their first AF and not have it during the placebo week?

I breastfeed and pump currently and got my period 6 weeks PP.  Cool thing was I had real bad cramps before I was pregnant but now I only feel slight cramping!

So 3 weeks after I posted this I finally got it(13 weeks PP) I think it was later than most but it came. Thanks for all your feedback.
