THAT time of the month question

Anyone else still not have their cycles return yet?

I was bf and didn't think anything of my lack of periods for ds's first year....but I've been down to nursing 2-3 times per day for a couple of months, that's as close to weaning as ds has let me get so far, and I still haven't started my period again yet. I really doubt pregnancy is a possibility since we haven't dtd without protection since ds's birth.

Some women have to wean completely to get their period back. While I tend to get AF back early, despite EBF, I have friends who have gone almost 2 years without anything due to BFing just a few times a day.

I have not had mine return yet either. DS is still nursing 4 or so times a day but I am done pumping at work. We are not using BC so I take a home pregnancy test about once a month.

Still nothing here.  I take a HPT once a month out of caution.

Still nothing here. DS is down to nursing 4x a day sometimes only 3.

Man, consider yourself lucky!  I EBF and my periods came back at 4 months postpartum.  In fact, I can tell my period is coming because my supply dips and my daughter doesn't like the taste of it and whines a lot.  BTW she just turned 12 months last week.

Talk about April fools jokes from mother nature.......I finally started my first pp period.....on 4/1.
