Period when BF

erin.blake3

I have been breastfeeding for 8 months now and still no period. Not complaining....I am loving it. Just wondering when I should expect to start so I am prepared. Anyone having a period and anyone still nothing?

Got mine back around month 3 and we are EBF. :-(

Got mine back at 5 months. I had to pump a whole week while on a business trip. I blame the business trip.

You can get it while breast feeding. Ive heard that some people get it when they start to drop nursing sessions. I havent had mine yet. Im hoping to get it once i drop feedings.

you are technically still 74 weeks pregnant, probably why you have not got it yet. eta-words

I got mine a month ago, I EBF. I have a friend who didn't get her period for over a year.

I got my period back in about three months interestingly it was quite mild. The signs that I could tell my period is coming is Natalie gets fussy when I'm nursing because my supply takes a small dip. It goes right back up after my period comes but there just a few days where she seems a little grumpy at the breast. Just an excuse for me to eat lactation cookies I suppose

Still don't have mine, but I have an IUD, so I'm not sure I will get one. I have had pms-like symptoms about once a month, though...

8 months pp and no period yet. I wish it would hurry up. I want to start thinking about TTC.

It varies for every woman. I got mine at 10 weeks PP, and my mom never got hers until after she weaned us. There are several factors involved: hormones, birth control, how long baby goes without eating, pacifier/bottle use, supplementing. If you do a search this topic has been discussed several times already.

I EBF and I got my period at 6 months pp, and she has come the last 2 months like clockwork!

I EBF and still haven't gotten mine (LO is almost 8 months). With DS1 I got it when we was 7 months.

I think it's good mine hasn't come back for I can't think about TTC yet

Just got mine over the weekend.  I had a supply dip last week and couldn't figure out why.  It was horrible for 2 days.  Almost post-childbirth horrible!

Nothing here yet either. I'm starting to drop nursing sessions now with the goal of weaning within the next month and a half so I'm curious to see when it comes back.
