Those of you who've had 2 kids or more, was it roughly the same time to get your period back after?

With DC1 it was a verrrrry long 18 months until my period came, though I was BFing constantly and not sleeping much, which may have played a role.

First I got period back after 3 months but didn't breastfeed. Second I did and got it back after 6 months but irregular (possibly due to the breastfeeding messing with the hormones)

Oh yes, I forgot about that. Mine was irregular for a few months too at first.

Mine came back very quickly with my daughter but I didn’t breastfeed. Came back after 3 years with my son and I hadn’t had a period before that for 2 years due to the injection. Mine were regular again after each time though but a lot heavier for a few months. x

3 years! That must have seemed an age.
I thought 18 months was long. I have very painful periods (endometriosis) so was grateful for the break.

Yeah I was so worried! I even had a scan to check everything was ok (and started my period two weeks after the scan). I thought something was wrong but as soon as I dropped to feeding once a day (he still fed LOADS) my period came back.

6 months after my daughter, currently 9 months after my son and not had one yet. I've been feeling periody for the last couple of weeks though so wouldn't suprise me if it returned soon.

3 months give it take a week, after all 3. I bf all, but first was only a few weeks, other two I fed for years. Tbh I felt cheated to only have got 3 months period-free out of it.
