If you've BF and weaned, ? about AF

LemonBlush

If you've breastfed and weaned, how long did it take for AF to return? We plan on starting to try for #2 once D turns 1 and I haven't had AF yet. I guess this question is more for those who didn't get AF until weaning. I was reading a post somewhere where they didn't get AF until 3 months later so I got curious.

I got AF a week or so after weaning. We started trying the next cycle and got pregnant right away!

AF came about a week after weaning- have had consistent cycles since which is awesome. Still debating on when to start TTC #2 though.. this fall or next.

I got AF right after I weaned (a couple of days) - and I got pregnant again the following month.

AF returned with we were down to 2 sessions a day (when DD was about 16 months--we weaned completely at 18 months). I think I only had 2 cycles before I got pregnant again

both times AF came back exactly a month (4 weeks) after I completely weaned. With DD1, I weaned slowly over 6 weeks (DD was 9 months). With DD2, I got BAD food poisoning and lost my supply and basically had to completely wean in 2 days (DD was 6 months).

Also, while my cycles were all over the place prior to having DD1, they were very regular after, both times.
