    Me, it's been 5 months now and I am slowing down with pumping. I'm pumping 4 times a day about 20oz.

  • 5 months here and nothing. Is that normal?
  • Nope. Fairly sure it's not abnormal to go a long time for some mums. I just got an IUD though, so I'm expecting it to start back up soon. At least would be surprised if it didn't!
  • I EP & have gotten my periods ever since.
    @booksandcleverness81 with DD i got the IUD right after birth & had it for 4.5 years and i would only get a periods 2-3 times a year for a a day 2 tops. So dont be too surprised if you dont get it too often. 
  • Nope. Nothing yet. Lo one is almost 23 weeks 
  • Yeh my little one is 5 months and nothing xxx
  • Nothing yet for me @ 5 months out.  I'm starting to wonder, though, because I'm not breastfeeding a huge amount anymore.  Really only breastfeeding a little bit in the middle of the nights now, so where the heck is AF?  Just goes to show you that even when you've done this a few times, things can be different each time.

    Nothing yet at 21w. I'm EBFing. I didn't get one after DD1 til she was 9mo, and not a real one til around a year.

    ETA: I was still BFing when I got it with DD1, but she had dropped a night feeding then when she was eating more food.

  • No period here! I keep forgetting that's a thing that people get. I want to breastfeed forever to keep it away!
  • None yet here either, 23 weeks and only breastfeeding at breakfast and bedtime since about 7-8 weeks ago maybe? I'm hoping it stays away forever, I have a feeling this first one is going to be awful! 
  • Breastfeed and pump. One week after I took out one of my middle of the night pumps I got my period. But it only lasted about 3 or 4 days, usually mine last a week. It's only been 2 weeks since so I'm not sure if I'll start getting them all the time or if it was a one time thing..
  • Not me! I didn't get a period until 14 months postpartum last time. I EBF until 12 months, 2 weeks with DD1 and was taking the mini pill. Same thing now. I love it.

  • Me neither. I'm 20 weeks pp and EBF. I also have mirena and last time I had it I never got a period, so I'm not expecting it to come back.
  • 5 months today and still no period. Starting to wonder why because I'm an ep and right before Christmas lil guy started sleeping through the night therefore I haven't been pumping in the motn. Sometimes it's 9-12 hours between pumping. I'm not missing out on anything by not having it though so no complaints
