Breastfeeding - periods started 3 weeks after I started back at work. DD was 9 months.

Lochia 3 weeks after csection. FF (never BF). No period after 10 weeks, negative pg test so went on back on pill.

Bf all 3 period retuned after 6 months with all 3, I was hoping for longer though Wink

18 weeks for me. Bf until 13 weeks. I have to add I also experienced the WORST pmt of all time. The RAGE was unbelievable!

4 weeks each time. Breastfeeding.
Was kind of looking forward to being without them for a while. Don't mind having them, but would have been nice to have not started them so soon. Interestingly (and sorry if TMI) they started exactly 28 days after the birth...cycle length was usually 33 days. Due to my age, though, cycles are now all over the place Hmm

28 months, still breastfeeding though

I was also robbed, dd ebf every 3 hours had first period when she was 11 weeks, ds the same but it returned at 9 weeks. Just not fair!!!

EBF and period came at 6 weeks!!! Regular 28 day cycle from then on Sad

Formula fed DS (although expressed until he was 4 weeks old as well), period returrned when he was 14 weeks old. Have been a bit irregular though, had one, then another 30 days later, then nothing for 65 days(cue frantic pregnancy testing!) until settled down more or less.

I had ELCS, bled for almost a month on and off, then had a proper period ie, 36 days after the ELCS.
