  Still have mine. I have a friend with a 6 month old that still has hers. I wouldn't count on it being gone anytime soon.

  If you get a bikini wax, they can wax that area and it will lighten it or make it go away faster.

  May 6th baby.....still have it, but the funny thing is, I didn't really have it DURING pregnancy. I noticed it only after I had my LO.

  Still have mine and it seems darker than when I was pregnant 3 weeks ago.

  I wore a bikini at 7 weeks post dd1 and my linea negra was there. I wasn't self concious about it at all. It was faint by that point.
  
  I'd say a few months until it was gone.

  Sadly I had my line for a year after my first... Then didn't have one this time so I was thrilled... Until it came after !! Lol

  I like my line. I've always been a little heavy, and before when I looked at my stomach I just felt bad about myself. Now I can look at my flabby stretched out gut and it gives me a feeling of importance. For just a little while longer I can think "I'm not fat! I just had a baby a few weeks ago, and I look really good for someone who just did!"

  It's darker after pregnancy because your skin is no longer so stretched, so the melanin is concentrated over a smaller area.

  
  

  I definitely still have mine BUT I exfoliated a little bit of it away after a shower. Still definitely visible... I'm tempted to put on a bit of benzoyl peroxide (acne cream which bleaches everything in sight... ) to see if it lightens. Others have recommended lemon juice but I'm guessing my linea nigra would scoff at such a weak substance.
