Periods while breastfeeding

HI ladies,
Just curious how long it took for your periods to regulate while still breastfeeding.  Or do they?  I had my first PP period 15 days ago and now it's back!  How long have you had your periods?  Are they now at regular intervals?

    My story may not be helpful, but my periods have been an adventure since I gave birth.

    At my 5 weeks post partum check up, I decided to get on the mini-pill. I decided to do so because being pregnant made me feel incredibly relaxed, so I figured my body did well with those hormones. As soon as I started the pill, my period came back. 3 months of having a period non-stop, I go back in to the doctor to find another option. They said if I want to keep taking birth control, my only option was implanon. (I guess breastfeeding feeding severely limits birth control options.) So in goes the implanon. 4 more months of constant period later, I get the implanon out. I've had about 6 weeks of no birth control, and I've only had 1 short period. 

    So that's what I've been up to....

    If there is any justice in this universe, I've paid my dues and shouldn't have a period for the next 5 years.

    @BrooklynBroussard  you poor thing!  Hear I am feeling bad about have 2 periods 2 weeks apart.  You do deserve a 5 year break!  I'm surprised your not anemic by now.  
    Also... nice to see you back!
    I took the mini pill for a month after my 6 week check up.  Turns out I suck at taking pills at the same time  ( or remembering at all) with a newborn, and have been playing with fate ever since.  We are planning to start trying either august or September so there is a peice of me that is happy the beast has returned, now she just needs to even out.

    Wow that's awesome! I mean, that you're trying again! We might start trying in about 6 months. Our little girl is just such a blessing that we can't wait to have another!

    My story is not the same but similar to what  @BrooklynBroussard has dealt with. I started the mini pill at 3 weeks pp per doctors recommendations. For the most part I was on top of it thanks to an alarm on my cell phone. But I had a period about every other week. In march SO got a vasectomy and he finally had his second all clear at the end of June. I was due to start a new pack the day we got the call from the doctor so I have now stopped them. At first I had a two week long period, one week spotting the next a normal flow. I am now on my first "normal" period without pills since birth and the cramps in the beginning were terrible!
