Has your period come back? I'm 9 weeks pp and either there's something wrong or she's back. It makes me a little worried about my supply. It didn't come back last time until about 9 mths pp. LO has a tongue tie that hasn't been fixed yet so that's what has me worried about the supply. He still has plenty of diapers though.

I didn't get my period back until 22 months PP with my first (yes, I was still nursing). AF returned pretty quickly after we day weaned. Still no sign this time, and I'm hoping I get lucky again, however, DS2 is a much better sleeper than DS1 ever was, and goes for some decent stretches at night without nursing so I'm not getting my hopes up. If you are getting regular 5+ hour stretches of not nursing, that may be the culprit, everyone is different though, and everyone can have a different experience after each baby.

He is sleeping about 5 hours sometimes more every night. My first definitely did not sleep this well. Hopefully that's it.

Nope but I was super irregular before ranging from 26 days to 100 day cycles. So I'm used to never knowing when aunt flow wants to visit.

I have not had a period, bit i also just got a Nexplanon. Not sure what impact that has. I nurse a lot but do go about 6 hrs at night.

rainbowwillow · October 2014

No sign of AF, or 5 hour LO sleep stretches!

pmpkn219 · October 2014

Nothing yet, and she will give 5 hr stretches, but not consistently

Valancyy · October 2014

Nope, and I've gotten 8 and 9 hour sleep stretches at 2.5 months. My previous boys did the same thing, sleeping 11 hours by 3 months.

I got it back when I weaned at 7 months with #1, and at 13 months with #2.

Stellafriend · October 2014

Mine came back at about 8 weeks pp-- very light-- but definitely back. I'm at 13 weeks now and there's no sign of it returning yet. My supply has not gone down and I go 10 hour stretches at night while he sleeps.

9 weeks old and no AF yet. She stayed away until 9 months last time despite DD sttn at 6 weeks.

Almost 10 weeks old and no AF yet. We get one stretch of 4 - 5 hours max at night though and the rest are usually only 2 hours, so we're up a lot still.

Ditto this exactly.

8 weeks old- no period yet. LO only gives 2 hour stretches at night, 3 at best, but I go 6 hours between feedings 2 days a week when I have a 3 hour grad school class. Not looking forward to her return

Oh how I hope this is me. LO has been sttn for the past week and I am REALLY hoping AF stays away for at least a few more months.

schnookee · October 2014

Yeah I don't know. Last night there was a little red blood and so far today, nothing. I hope it's not AF but I hope there's nothing wrong either.
Sorry if TMI

caybeh · October 2014

11 weeks here and no AF. I didn't get AF with DS until he weaned completely at 15 months. Hoping to be that lucky again.

This. I'm 11 weeks post partum but feel like I'm PMSing. Who knows with all these hormones though.

raquelynn714 · October 2014

Not yet, thank goodness! I go up to 10 hours btwn pumping/nursing but usually it's 5-7 hour interval during the day.
