Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Bfing and still no AF?

My cycles still haven't started and DD is almost a year old.  It's been great, don't get me wrong, but DH and I would like to start TTC in the next six months or so and this could make it difficult.  Until recently I was nursing 4 times a day and pumping once a day.  I stopped pumping and then dropped one nursing session and still nothing.  Anybody else in the same boat?

Re: Bfing and still no AF?

  •  Yes. LO's been on 3 solid meals for quite some time. I'm nursing 4 times a day. Still no AF.
     But then I wasn't regular until I was on the pill. So, I'm not expecting AF until I go back on it.

  • I just finally got mine about two weeks ago. We went from 5 nursing sessions to 4 and maybe 3 weeks later, AF showed.

    I guess it just really varies from person to person when the "tipping point" will be for AF to return. I hope she comes back in time to TTC.

  • L is a bit younger, but I'm in the same boat.  L still nurses quite a lot in the day; he has always been a snacker.   I have PCOS and don't expect AF to come back for a while.  We're going to start TTC after L turns one, but I also plan to do extended BF'ing, so it may take a while.  I have a friend who didn't get her period back until her first LO was 2 years old and she BF'd for a long time as well. So it can be a while!

  • No AF here either.  I pump twice a day, nurse LO about five times a day (before and after work and a few times in the night).  We'd like to TTC soon but I think we'll have to break the all night nursing sessions first to get AF back.
