I am exclusively BFing too. However, my period came back on the second month. I have never taken the pill or any contraception besides condoms.

I ebf LO for 10 months and didn't have a period. I just got mine after about a month of no breastfeeding. I was not excited to see it return but it wasn't too bad. It was similar to the ones pre pregnancy.

Mine finally came back after 10 months. It came back about a month after I stopped pumping (I was still breastfeeding during morning and evening, but during day while baby was at school, he had 3 bottles of 4 ozs. each of formula). I finally had to give up on the pumping. It was constant mastitis and it was just causing a lot of pain and suffering on my life. As soon as I gave up the pumping though and stuck only to bf-ing, it was a whole different world for me. So much better.

For everyone who's AF has returned, did you find it took a few months for it to get back regular? Mine was very regular every 4 weeks before baby,  but I'm still BF so maybe why it's not now

Hi mama! Mine returned when my baby boy turned 8 months. The second months it didn't come at all then it came 6 weeks later then a month later 4 weeks and until now it's regulizing a bit. I'm also still breastfeeding so I'm sure it will take some time especially since I've only had it a couple of months!

Hi! Thanks for the reply! That's what I thought and I've only had one period so far, did expect it a few days ago and had the symptoms like cramps. Will not worry too much then and just let it regulate itself again

I breast fed both of my daughters.  With my oldest, now 4, it returned after 3 months and was regular.  After my second, 13 1/2 months, who still nurses just once before bed, it returned at 7 1/2 weeks.. yup.. WEEKS!!  I couldn't believe it!!  I have been regular except around Christmas when I was 6 weeks between.. but I know I was stressed and it has been regular since.
