Yes pretty normal, especially if you are feeding at night still.

Lucky though! They can come back much earlier even if still feeding.

It's great isn't It Grin I only managed 13 months.

My DD is 20 months and still no sign (she's still feeding at night)

Totally understand the paranoia!

4 months with dc1
9 months with dc2
15 months with dc3

All bf. dc3 is 20 months now and my cycle is all over the place. I just need to get myself a truck full of cheap ebay pg tests because I'm ending up spending a fortune. Had a 52 day cycle the other month, I peed on a lot of sticks.

Lack of periods is fab but I quite like that "I'm not pregnant!" reassurance of them.
