first af after birth?

[purple84]

When did you have your first af after giving birth?
My DS is 10wk on Sunday and I still haven't had my af, just wondered when other women had theirs.

Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard that used. I don't have periods because I use the mini-pill.

5 months after dc1. I took the MAP due to an accident and my period returned the week after. Not sure if that's a coincidence.

4 months after dc2 but they have been irregular since.

DS is 14 months and I haven't had a period yet. Still breastfeeding a few times a day and night.

Just after his second birthday.

thanks for replies, is everyone on birth control is that why no periods or is this normal?
it seems odd to not have a period for as long as that?

Mine came back 15 months after DS was born, I was breast feeding though.

Just got my first - 13 months and breastfeedibg 1-2 times per day.

Are you breastfeeding? That will delay the return of your period. My periods started when dd was 8 months as i had a night away. Ds is 16months and still breastfed day and night, no sign of any period yet.

Are you breast feeding? It was around the ten week mark I think for me. I went back on my contraception then and it took about three month to be normal (no spotting randomly between periods).

12 months. This is normal if you are breastfeeding.

17mths and still no sign - breastfeeding at bedtime and during the night.

About 4 weeks after - bottlefeeding
Near 1 year- bf tho.

Ten weeks is hardly any time at all. It is usual for it to take months and months for periods to return when you are breastfeeding.

No birth control here, just the breastfeeding!

Mine returned 18 months after the birth, while I was still breastfeeding. I don't think there was any change in the breastfeeding pattern to trigger it and I was still feeding many times overnight.

It was completely normal for me when it came: same duration, flow, everything normal.

I wasn't using any contraception at the time.

Mine are back but light. First one arrived the day before DD turned 6mo. Next one due soon. DD is breastfed but started solids at 22 weeks. She's a big baby and has lots of milk, so
I was hoping that would keep periods at bay sigh!

Yes I am breastfeeding, had no idea we would get a lovely period free time after birth, thanks for replies ladies.
I will just enjoy now I know it's normal :)

With DS it was about 9 months but he was a slow long feeder.

DD just gets on with it and So her feeds are far shorter and so AF returned at four months

Are you breastfeeding? After DS1 I didn't get my period until he stopped breastfeeding around 14mo. After DS2 I went on the mini-pill so not getting periods.
