periods after childbirth

[readyandwaiting]

stopped bfeeding at xmas and had one period mid jan and nothing since - we're ttc no 2 so really important that cycle is ok, have done few pg tests n all BFN so now just worried cycle is irregular (fyi didn't have any periods when concieved ds - not sure what happened there - consultant was v supprised! so i have nothing to base cycles on as on pill before that)

what are other peoples experience?

and how long do i leave it before i go to gp?

i had my first period 5 months after dd,while still bf. the next one came nearly 7 weeks later (still bf at night). would imagine they take while to settle and become regular.
good luck with ttc.

will be 7 weeks this weekend so hopefully will know soon... still hoping i could be pg but i know its unlikely, if period just comes back then we can try properly!
