Mine haven't yet at (erm how old is she?) 21 months.

I'm thinking about it now because although I'm not in a MAD rush to have another baby yet, the idea is at the back of my mind as to when I will be able to start to try...

Mine came back just after stopping with my older two, so at 14 months. I'm still feeding dd though, she's just 15 months, and period came today!
The second one I've had in 4 years, I think I got it once between weaning ds2 and falling pregnant with dd. Crazy to finally pull out that dusty box of tampax..!

oops, 2 years not 4 years, I'm not an elephant with 14-month pregnancies..!

After dd2 I wanted to concieve again quickly. But I also wanted to bf her for as long as possible.

I got a period when she was 14mths, pregnant with ds1 at 16mths stopped bf her many months later, maybe 21mths.

My grandmother was EBF and conceived a couple of months postpartum without ever having had a period.

She went to the doctor and he said, "MrsX, you're in trouble again.." She wasn't expecting it, so asked: '"what kind of trouble?". There is an 11 month gap between her ds1 and 2. Quite common in Ireland - they call them Irish twins.

15m. Am still bf and am of your 21m! Although the TTC thing isn't an issue for me...
