americanada · July 2011

i just wonder when it's coming back. i'm getting kind of used to not having it! it's been 2 years now. anyone else still nursing and 15+ mos PP w/no AF?

I'm still nursing but I just night weaned at 12 months...got AF a week later

mrsfirefly · July 2011

I'm at almost 14 months and no AF. On Kellymom, I read that if you nurse on demand, have a baby that is late to STTN, and sometimes nurse lying down (not sure why this would affect things), the average age for periods to return is 14.5 months.

Totally normal. AF returned when DD was 20mos.

TiffanyBerry · July 2011

At nearly 14mo for DD here and no AF yet. Still night nursing, though, and I expect that's a good part of why. Like you, I'm kinda enjoying it. :P

I only just had my 1st PP AF, but we weaned around Christmastime.

DD is 20m and still BF, and I haven't got AF back yet.

I nursed DS until he was 26m, but AF returned when he was 19m.

Returned at 16 months for us. I always assumed it was from the Mirena but considering it's been regular ever since the timing was probably more about BF.

No AF here either. DD still nurses a lot.

I would think the nursing lying down (kellymom says during naps and at night) would help because the baby probably latches on to nurse or even just suck more frequently.

Enjoy! Mine returned around 17 mos pp. I didn't miss it *at all*.

We're at 14 months right now, having night weaned 2 months ago, I was expecting it any day. Since I got pg while bfing my last child, I havent had AF in over 3 years!!!! Not looking forward to its return!

webMistress0609 · July 2011

Got mine 18 months pp, about 4 months after night weaning. Ari dropped to 3-4 sessions per day max at that time, usually more like 2-3.

I was pretty bummed, lol. My periods were ridiculously heavy & my cycles were fairly long for the 1st 3 months too.

SteelCityBride · July 2011

Nope, I still haven't gotten it & E is 14.5 mos. He still nurses A LOT. Like 5-6 times/day & once at night. So I'm assuming that's why.

lkstor · July 2011

Got mine at 19 months postpartum.

luvmybaby28 · July 2011

I am so jealous! I got mine back at 8 months and I haven't night weaned and my lo nurses all the time!

WildcatPrincess · July 2011

Wow, y'all are lucky! AF returned with a vengeance at 5 months pp and has continued to wreaked havoc on my supply monthly. My child nursed every 2 hours until she was over 7 months old, I don't know why I was punished so :P
