I was lucky got mine back at 15.5 months. DH and I were TTC so I cut back to two nursing sessions a day and that finally pushed me over the edge.

DaisyJanie · November 2012

DS is 17 months, we've been down to 2 nursing sessions a day since 12 months, and still no period. I had to go to the dr. last month and it was funny to write down my last menstrual period as Sept 2010.

I voted not back yet, but the actual answer is Wednesday night, haha. So 13 mo for me. I was wondering when it would come back. We're still BFing, but just 3 15 min sessions a day.

I was surprised how emotional I was when it happened. Not just because it's such a PITA, but it was like my body was realizing that my LO wasn't so little anymore. Plus, I've heard of ppl's supply taking a hit once AF returned. But, on the plus side, that opens up the discussion of TTC no. 2...

When my LO started STTN. I believe there is some relationship when you go for longer hours in between feedings to when AF will return.

Nope - no AF since March 2008 (I caught the first pp egg after Callum). I didn't ovulate until I night weaned the first time and haven't night weaned E yet.

I got mine back around 6 months, even though I was ebfing as well as night nursing (not by choice, Dd is a really crappy sleeper). Boo. The only good part is that it came back to a perfect cycle, so at least I know when its coming.

With DD1 I EP until she was 1, I got my period back a month later. With DD2 I BF until she was 11 months, then pumped until she was 1. I literally got my period 2 days after stopping. Totally wasn't expecting that!

law&order · November 2012

Unfortunately, at 3 months PP despite EBF, continued night feedings until 15 months, etc.

I was so bummed.

Mine came back at 4 months PP, even though we've been breastfeeding all along and still am at 17 months! I wish I could have had some more time without it! I think mine came back so early because I returned to work full-time after 4 months and was pumping rather than feeding from "the tap" during the days. DD was still nursing during the night up until 11 months, too! Oh well.

Exactly 13 months after giving birth.

hisaak · November 2012

Three days ago (so almost 15 months). She still eats twice daily and at least 1-2 times during the night.

capulet · December 2012

Nine weeks PP with DD, seven with DS. Stupid AF. Angry

And yes, I EBFed both of them, and no, they did not STTN early (or ever, in the case of DS, who is still nursing). I was never even that regular before I had kids, except on BC; I have clockwork cycles now.

19 months and still nothing in sight.

BrittKav · December 2012

I'm one of the unlucky ones. With DD1 I got it back at a little over 2 months PP even though I was EBF every 2 hours night and day, bedsharing, etc. With DD2 I got it back at 5 WEEKS postpartum even though I was EBFing/bedsharing and I was even tandem nursing!
