Periods and breastfeeding

For those of you who's period returned while you were still bf'ing...
Were your cycles regular?
If they weren't regular at first, when did they become regular?
And were they the same as your pre pregnancy periods?
I'm asking because my first 2 were 34 days apart (normal for me) but my next one hasn't come.
Thanks in advance!

After I started my periods with DD I did miss one, can't remember now which one it was but definitely missed one. How far overdue are you? Do you think you should do a PG test?

Thanks for replying. It's only a few days overdue and we are ttc so I don't want to get my hopes up just yet!

Fingers crossed then.

Mine came back around 7 months and we're very irregular with a short luteal phase (time between ovulation and period) - despite this I still got pregnant shortly before DS's 1st birthday

Mine came back after 18 months and are exactly as before. Same cycle length, same luteal phase, same flow, same symptoms. Haven't skipped one in 6 months since they returned.

My cycles were more regular than before DC1 from the first month that they returned. Yes, they were similar.

Fingers crossed for you too. (BTW I got pg within two months of ttc with DC2 whilst breastfeeding. Compared to 14 months with DC1...)

What's your outcome? Tested yet? FC for you?
I want to know this as I'm waiting for af as we are wanting to ttc - dd is 7mo

HairyToothbrush · 06/11/2012 08:47

I took a test two days ago and it was positive! Smile hope your AF returns soon.
