To ask when your periods returned after having a baby while breastfeeding?

[NotAnotherUserName5]

Dc is coming up 12 months now, and still no sign of my periods returning. I don't think it took this long with my other dc.

When did you all get your periods back of you were still breastfeeding?

2 months after stopping both times. Stopped at 13m and 20m and was on the implant.

My first was about 8 months, this time 6months. But my 2nd feeds nowhere near as much as my 1st.

In my case three days after I stopped breastfeeding. DD was 6 months.

6 months, but for my friend it was 18 months.

At four months while still bf DC1. Pregnant with DC2 a couple of months later, still bf but not exclusively.

Never but i went back on contraceptive pill when baby was 8 weeks old so that's why.

Around a year both times. I carried on breastfeeding though and tandem fed DS1 and DS2!

about a year and about 8 months.
fed the elder till 2.5 and still feeding the younger (now just turned 1)

Mine came back when my DC was 5 months, even though they were still breastfeeding round the clock!

Around 4-5 months all 3 times despite feeding every 2 hours round the clock.

6 months when she was having solids.

Close to 2 years while still BFing. Mine always fed several times overnight though- which I think influences it.

Sore subject for me.

With my first it was around 8 months when I had been swapping feeds for formula on my return to work. This time it came back just before 4 months on its own.

As all the kids are saying. I am shook. And furious

I had a little one at 3 months and then they came back at 4 months. I wasn't pleased. DS was ebf on demand and no dummy as well! Good job I wasn't relying on it for birth control!

Between DC1 and 2 - they didn’t come back but I conceived 21 months postpartum.

After DC2 periods came back 19m postpartum.

Over two years but I was still feeding her. I stopped as she cake up to three.

6 weeks after birth every time despite breastfeeding my dc for 14 months, 18 months, 23 months, 5 months and 2 years.

Mine was 1 month after I stopped breastfeeding totally at 10 months.

And I wasn’t EBF, I was mix feeding for a lot of it.

At 5 months with both dc. Both ebf round the clock, no bottles of expressed milk, no dummies etc

I'll admit it, I felt hard done by!

9 months with dd1 but she was a good little eater once she started weaning so less feeds during day longer with dd2 because she wouldn’t eat a thing till she was about 2! And dc 3 & 4 I actually can’t remember I have totally lost it!

DC3 it was 11 months, and IT was still bfing.

However I bfed DC1 and 2 for only a few weeks and they didn't come back until 6 months, so I am one of those quite lucky people.

8 weeks with all 3 DCs. I breastfed them all for a year too I was bitterly disappointed!

If I'm still co-sleeping and feeding in the night (or even early hours), it can take up to two years+

DS is 17 months and no signs of it returning, though I do get twangs once in a while so I know there are hormone surges here and there. I expect within the next six months or so, they'll return, but usually I'm still not fertile straight away (I temp, and my luteal phase takes a while to lengthen enough to support a pregnancy)

6 months with Dd- think it was associated with introducing solids and her milk consumption dropping (although fed her till she was 2). With ds it was 14 months, just after I returned to work and was therefore feeding less in the day (even though I felt his milk intake was lower than dd's was at the same stage)
