Mine arrived 4 months to the day after. Am EBF so hoped I'd get longer. Just wondering what other people's experiences were.

ChazzerChaser · 01/01/2014 20:42

Can't remember, but something like 4-6 months and I felt totally diddled as I was EBF too

rubyslippers · 01/01/2014 20:43

EBF and got to 7 months with no period

Was quite pleased with that

YokoUhOh · 01/01/2014 20:43

Nearly 14 months and still no period...

waceystills · 01/01/2014 20:44

DS is 15 weeks on Saturday and I EBF for 10 weeks then I mix fed.

madamecake · 01/01/2014 20:45

3 months both times, both ebf.

Pascha · 01/01/2014 20:45

14 months and 9 months. Both ebf. My friend managed 4 weeks both times, and she was ebf too.

14 months here despite mixed feeding & DD giving up the boob completely by 11 months.

NearTheWindmill · 01/01/2014 20:50

After birth - 13 years and 10 months. After giving birth, about eight weeks.

GeorgieWilson · 01/01/2014 20:50

Couple of weeks ago at 4.5 months and am ebf. Expected to get longer but not too disappointed as hoping to ttc again soon.

GoGoveGo · 01/01/2014 20:51

3 weeks with my first, 8 months with my second - both exclusively breast fed.

theyoniwayisnorthwards · 01/01/2014 20:51

12 months, ebf.

exexpat · 01/01/2014 20:52

8 or 9 months with both (breast fed, though both started solids at around 5 months).

Choccyjules · 01/01/2014 20:53

4 weeks bang-on and I was EBF.

perfectstorm · 01/01/2014 20:54

EBF (expressing) and switched to formula at 8 months. Period was back inside a month, so 9 months. Think you've been unlucky, tbh (though I'd rather have had periods and been able to breastfeed without a pump and bottles, so swings and roundabouts?).

eveylikesv · 01/01/2014 20:55

Over 12 months now and still nothing, ebf still. Hope it is not coming back anytime soon.

HillyandHally · 01/01/2014 20:55

When I stopped bfing completely so about 12 mths although dd had been mix fed since 6 mo
