bf-ing - when did you get your first period after birth?

[soandsosmum]

I'm exclusively bf and got AF after 4 months. Really didn't expect that til I stopped ebf!

14 months and no sign yet- LO is eating three meals a day and having four to five feeds a day. just stopped feeding a night in the last week, so am hoping it won't be long - want to start TTC!

3 months, DS does get 1 bottle but does 't sleep through, I was a bit gutted.

6mo when she started sleeping through and eating solid food. Am now considering getting pg again just to get rid of the periods!

13 weeks. Was bfing at least 2hrly day and night from birth, no dummies etc.

13 months, pretty soon after stopping BF

6 weeks with both dc - both (especially ds1) fed a lot at night, and were ebf so I think its just the luck of the draw.

2 1/2 months .... Was only holiday and so gutted! Was bf.

Never did after DS1 but did get DS2 so watch out!!!

Still not got it. Finished BF just over a month ago and DD is 9 months.

DD1 23mths

DD2 21mths

Have only had one period each time before conceiving the next baby (preg with DD3 now) am not looking forward to regular periods again!

Am still bf (dd is 13mo), my period came back reliably at around 6 months. I'm pregnant again now so something must be working!

I'm with iwasagnome - be careful. Unexpected ds4 on the way in 6 weeks and LMP was around June 2009. Midwives computer says 'no' to that date. What with the lack of period plus the limited sex that 3 toddlers/babies allows God must have had some part to play in his conception

8 months.

It arrived with the 17 months' worth of PMT that I had skipped during pregnancy and BF. 'Mood swings' - ha. Psychotic lunatic-style personality shifts, more like. Was shit. And was at Christmas.

8 weeks! Grrr...

Was EBF.

About 18 months, sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.

If it makes you feel any better my friend has ebf 4DC and always got hers 4 weeks after giving birth.

4 weeks and a day! DD is EBF! I was not impressed! I am still EBFing her and the week my period arrives I am totally worn out, it's horrid!

I dont mind. Having TTC for nearly 3 years before DD1, I'm happy to get going on no 2 pretty soon. nice to know my body's working IYKWIM

DS is nearly 21 weeks and no sign of AF yet. He was ebf til 15 weeks and has had 1 bottle of formula a day since then. He still feeds once through the night though and I had the contraceptive implant fitted when he was 13 or 14 weeks, so my body is likely thoroughly confused!

Period started couple of weeks after stopping b-feeding.

6-7 weeks each time. My friend who FF got hers back before me!

PP bleeding stopped at four weeks, AF returned two weeks later. DS was EBF and fed A LOT. He is still BF (nearly one) and I am preg with DC2. He was still on about 8-10 feeds a day (all day and night) when I concieved, but he has dropped down to one at night now.

My mum EBF me and was pregnant with Dsis by the time I was 4m. Her mum EBF my aunty and was preg with my mum by the time she was 3m old!! I'm surprised it took me so long
