Hi Everyone, I'm 36 going on 37 in Dec. I'm hoping to TTC #2 very soon. My DS will be 6 months old next week. I'm looking at hopefully getting pregnant by next Spring/Summer. However, i will need my cycle to return. I still haven't received my first postpartum period yet. I only breastfeed my son once a day, early morning feed and the rest I formula feed. I'm wondering why it's taking so long to return. Any suggestions to help jump start my cycle. Thanks!

Took me awhile to figure out what to copy and paste to get my ticker to work. My milk stopped coming in right at four months. I believe my period came back about a month later. But like others said - everyone is different. good luck to you.
I didn't get my period until I completely stopped BFing. That's what you need to do to get your cycles back.

DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09.
TTC since then with no luck or ART.
Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.
I'm just about to start ttc#2, too. DS is 9.5 months, and I just got my first pp period today. I'm bf'ing about 5 times in 24 hours, and was completely shocked to see AF today! I expected to have to wean first. So, who knows...
Re: Hoping to TTC #2 soon
I think even BF once a day will still put a damper on your cycle. I am sure other ladies will chime in.
Good luck though

Welcome! We are also TTC baby #2. Everyone is different, like the others said. I BF for 15 months, but I also had Mirena, so I had no period.
My friends got their periods it seemed once they dropped a few feedings, but others had to totally wean.
