How soon after stopping breastfeeding did you get your BFP / period?

As the title says, I'm curious to know how soon to expect my period (or if I'm lucky BFP) after fully weaning?

I fully weaned my 17 month old 10 days ago and haven't had a period / BFP yet. I've been getting a few cramps so I guess my period is around the corner but there's always that hope that it could be implantation cramps. My first took over a year to conceive and I'd love to get there sooner this time round.

I got my first period back just under 4 weeks from stopping breastfeeding my 20 month old. Was pregnant within 4 cycles (when it took 10 before). Fingers crossed for you!

Period = 4 days after weaning my 11mo
BFP = 4 weeks later

For context, had 1 period while bf, and with DC1 had BFP first cycle TTC too.

Good luck. I hope everything goes well for you

Stopped feeding my son at 16 months but was having periods from around 6 months. I fell pregnant the moment I stopped feeding him but sadly ended in a MC.

I got my first period at 8 months PP and got my BFP at 8 months PP 😂
I was still breastfeeding and continued to feed her until I was 7 months pregnant with DD2.

I fed until around 15mths but periods were already back around 9mths.
