When did you get your first period while BF?

AnnP84

LO is 8 months old and I still haven't gotten my period. I EBF 7-8 times a day and LO sleeps through the night. When did you ladies get yours?

DD started consistently STTN around 6 months... AF returned at 9 months.  DD was probably nursing 6-7 times per day at that point.

With DD I got it back at 15.5 months, when I dropped down to two nursing sessions.  DS just turned a year and still nothing ::knocks on wood:: he is nursing four times a day.

About 9 months. He nurses 5-6 times during the day and 2-3 at night.

3 months with my first 10 months with my twins

DS was 9 months when I got my first post partum period.

I just got mine back and DD is 7.5 months.  She nurses 6-7 times a day still.

I'm almost 16 months pp, and I still haven't gotten it.  Right now, DS nurses in the morning, before his nap on the weekends only (I don't pump at work anymore during the week), before bed, and usually 1 - 2 X in the middle of the night. DS doesn't STTN.

I got it a couple of days before DSs first birthday. I went back to work when he was 3 months and pumped until he was 14 months.

My LO will be 20 months on the 12th and I still haven't gotten mine back yet.... DD started kind of STTN at 18.5 months, she is waking again the past few nights again unfortunately.  She nurses quite a bit during the day still.

I EBF both kids and got mine back at 6 weeks pp with DD and 7 weeks pp with DS.

Just a couple of weeks ago at 13 months. Was very, very light. I'm sure I won't be as lucky next month. 

pb_bride

Just got mine this week and DS turns 14m next week.  About 6 weeks ago I dropped him from 4x/day to 3x/day.  Probably that was the trigger.  I dropped him down to 2x/day this week but I would have ovulated already.

brideinsummer04

No AF until the day after he turned 23 months which was a few weeks after cutting down to 3x a day. And now I was supposed to get it a few days ago and it is nowhere in sight which is super annoying to me bc we want to TTC.

I nursed each of my sons until they were 16-17 months old and got AF back about 6 weeks after weaning both times.

7 months. I was still nursing and pumping all day and night long.

SidraJedi

Wow. This is really all over the map!

I don't have mine back yet but I was coming in to this thread out of curiosity.

CLLDLL

15 months PP here and still no AF. He's been STTN since around 10 weeks. I work full time so I pumped 3 x a day and nursed another 3-4 times a day until he turned one. Now I pump once a day and nurse 3x. Working on dropping that last pumping but I keep getting clogged ducts.

XmasDivine

I'm only 3.5month pp but I keep having light light light spotting and some cramping like MAYBE!? But DD STTN fairly often.. maybe 4 days in a row she goes 7.5 hours then an off day with one waking.. one time she slept 10 hours..

I guess there is no telling.. the dot will just return whatever day it feels like it..

jesuisfatiguee

I got mine around 8 months... At the time we were EBF *and* bedsharing  It's been irregular since then.

beatingIF

I had my first (and only so far) 2 months post partum. DD is almost 4 months but started STTN at 6 weeks.

NatesLady1309

4 months PP and it was regular from then on. Very unlucky. We had not started solids or anything, she still nursed a LOT and was not STTN so definitely night nursing too. I was kinda pissed, haha. 

Bwhitten

Around 11 months. A few months after they were sleeping 6-8 hours without waking up to eat at night.

DreamDisney

Holy cow. C is 7 weeks old & i ebf. (Some pumped bottles starting since I'm going back to work). I got mine 6 weeks pp from my c section. I also started the pill that same week so I think it brought it on. No babies for us yet!

MamaMuslima01

DS was 5 months old

bhjones1980

Still no sign of it at 8 months PP, still BFing and pumping at work.

I started using OPK tests this month just to see since I started feeling some cramping and such and had some light spotting last month.

I did get positive OPKs this month, so I have no idea if I maybe did ovulate and my first PP AF is on its way.
