Getting periods back after pregnancy

Just wondering when I might expect to have a period again! Started again 4 months after DS1 (now 6) despite exclusive breast feeding, and 13 months after DS2 (now 4) despite him being fully weaned at 9 months.

DS3 now 8 months. What have other people found? I heard that successive pregnancies take longer, but is that going to be the case with a big gap?

Thanks FD. I'm not really worried, just trying to blame something for my sudden foul temper. Also working from home, and missing the chat!
