When did your period return while EBFing?

[edeluna]

I've been EBFing DD, who is now seven months. Have had no sign yet of my period returning and am curious to know when others have had the 'pleasure' of a reacquaintance.

We'll were coming upto 11 months now and no sign of it yet. [hgrin]

Got mine both times just before they turned 1. Bf ds till 23 months,still bf dd who is 13 months.

After 6 weeks!! 6 weeks i tell you, how rubbish is that ?. Didn't affect supply, i went on to feed dd until 3.10 months.

Fed DS until he was 18 months and got my period back at about 9 months.

After about a year.

DD was 9 months when mine returned.

EBF both mine for first 6 months and my period came back before weaning with both of them. Neither sleeping through the night either.

It went straight back into a 28 day cycle with dd, though was a bit erratic with ds.

14 months, but he fed about every 90 mins till he was 9 months, which was rather gruelling.

2 weeks after DD's first birthday. On her birthday I stopped pumping and feeding her during the day, so she was feeding roughly 12 hours apart. I'd not been feeding her in the night for a while by then, it seemed to be the daytime stopping that kick started AF.

She's still having her two feeds 5 months later.

introduced formula at 5months, stopped breastfeeding completely at 9month.

Period returned when DS was almost 2!!

Had a mini-period when DD1 was nearly 11 months and I began night-weaning - that was the only one between DD1 & DD2 - fell pg that cycle!

Haven't had a proper period for coming up to 3 years

All i can say is that you lot are soooo lucky. I've got four children and mine returned 3 weeks after the post partum bleeding every sodding time! Despite them all being exclusively bf til a minimum of 6 months! So unfair.
I must have wonky hormones.

I'm six months in and no sign!

11.5m, about 2 weeks after night weaning.

4 weeks :( Not fair!, I initially hoped it was just extended lochia.. but then it came back at 8 and 12 weeks. DD feeds every hour or two in the day, but has always slept through - so I put it down to that.

So I want my money back from the NHS - they promised me I wouldn't need pads!

Been feeding for 10 months now and had a period every month. Its so not fair!

3 months on the dot :( thought I'd get more

DD is 7.5 months and no sign yet. I've been back at work FT since she was 5 months so don't feed (or pump) during the day. (She does, however, feed ALL sodding night.)

13 weeks
5 weeks

ffs

When he was about 12 months

9 months both times, first time I was already back at work and doing only 2 feeds a day, second time I was still at home and doing about 10 feeds a day (sort of, most of those were at night grrrr!) so I guess 9 months is just when my body's decided "I've had enough of this no period lark, here you go, here's a really heavy one to start you off!"

:o

19 months ds1
17 months ds2

well, obviously was not ebfing by then....

Nearly 9 months, which was about 3 weeks after I stopped breastfeeding and, I think more significantly, about 6 weeks after nightweaning.

If pattern is same this time I will be very pleased to have only had 3 periods in 3 1/2 years (though I am clearly very unlucky because the last of those 3 periods fell on my wedding day )
