When did your period return?

[StaceyF85]

I had my daughter 11 weeks ago and I've not yet had my first period. My friend who had her baby 2 days after me and briefly breastfed has started spotting. But I didn't breastfeed at all and still no sign of aunt flow. So my question is, when did yours come back?

My periods came back when dc were 4 weeks old.
Every bloody time!! Literally!!
And was ebf!!

18 months on and still no period yet for me.

Yeah we've had unprotected sex 3 times. I have taken 2 pregnancy tests and they were both negative.

Dd is 18 weeks and no proper AF. Had the odd bleed that lasts no longer than an afternoon and nothing more than a pantyliners could deal with (Sorry TMI). Dd is combination fed if that makes a difference.

I think it was 8 or 9 weeks later

6 weeks with dc1 and 4 weeks with dc2 - ebf both times!

I didn't breastfeed at all.
I had bleeding for 3 weeks pp. then my first proper period was the month after I gave birth.
I went back on the combined pill at the 6 week check, so after that I had my withdrawal bleeds not proper periods.

After my first (breastfeeding) it came at 6wks.
I remember being at 6wk GP check and she said that wasn't so unusual
I think I discovered later that being a "wholesome/ Rubenesque/ well-upholstered lass has a bearing - something to do with oestrogen levels?

Thanks everyone, I might go see my GP if it hasn't returned in a few more weeks. I was hoping that I might be pregnant again, but as I've had two negative results and no symptoms, it's probably unlikely.

Interested in this aswell! My ebf baby is 5 months old and no period yet.

Hope I can get to 18 months as well coffee!

I EBF and it returned when DD was 14 months.

(Obviously I didn’t EBF until 14 months, just until 5-6 months).

My periods took two years to return.

4 months despite ebf twins! I couldn't believe it. Nature mocking me I think!

That’s funny 43 as I also had ebf twins.

Just goes to show we’re all different.

6 months and ebf for me.

4 weeks bang on. FF from the start.

Mine took 10-11 weeks to return

Not until I stopped bf DD when she was 22 months. Now bf DS at 18months and no sign of a period yet.

3 months for me despite EBF. I was

Not until I stopped feeding at 14 months with DS2. Can't remember with DS1. Sort of hoping it will be the same with the one due today is feeding goes to plan. I am quite small with a low bmi though, not sure if that makes a difference.

I didnt breastfeed the longest my period has taken to return was 5months.

EBF and still nothing at 15 months ... I sort of want one now

Mine started yesterday, nearly 7 weeks after c-section (formula fed).
