If you formula fed when did your periods return?

Just that really! I'm 11 weeks post partum and still waiting, although I did breastfeed for the first 4 weeks.

Wondering when to expect them again.

Mine was about 13 weeks PP I think.

Around 4 weeks after the births of all 4 DC, I so wanted it to be longer as I barely finished having lochia before my periods came back!

holycityzoo · 23/06/2018 17:18

About 4 weeks after they were born.
By the time dc3 was 14 weeks I was pregnant again!

Here also 4 weeks on the dot. I was surprised. The lochia weren't finished yet completely either.

I was on my first period at my six week check.

The female GP tried to avoid checking my episiotomy stitches because I’d told her I was having my period.

7 weeks and I breastfed for 2 weeks

cjferg · 30/06/2018 10:56

7 weeks

OneForTheRoadThen · 01/07/2018 14:28

Thanks everyone. I'm still waiting!

26 weeks! Which probably isn't what you want to hear.

Thesearmsofmine · 01/07/2018 14:34

Each time it was 2 weeks after my pp bleeding stopped.

Ninjamilo · 02/07/2018 12:23

Breastfeeding on demand and mine were back at 5 weeks, I was gutted, thought I’d have a while. A friend has only just got hers back after 14 months!

GameOfMinges · 03/07/2018 16:03

About 5 weeks. If you breastfed for a while though that can delay return.

widgetbeana · 03/07/2018 20:30

Mixed fed both of mine (though mainly breast fed) 6 weeks and 3 days.
Every Single Time.

Nightmare!

My son is 6 weeks, just started mine, and I'm exclusively breastfeeding (apart from the odd bottle when I have a glass of wine - haha) So really think it depends on the person. Sucks for me though as I was hoping it wouldn't return for a while.
