when did you get your AF back?

[BoyCrazy]

i had my ds2 in feb this year, and im still waiting for my AF to show up. dont get me wrong i love not having it but i kind of do want it back so i can start ttc bub3 soon!

i went on the minipill for about 2 months after having ds2, and had weird spotting for those 2 months, but i was always forgetting to take the silly tablet (has to be done at same time each day) so i just stopped taking them.

am still breastfeeding 3-4 day feeds and 1-2 night feeds, but bub is eating regular solid meals as well.

just wondering how long it took for everyones AF to return?

thanks

Hey Mel !

DD1 - three months fully BF until four months (started solids).
DD2 - five months fully BF until six months (started solids).
DS - four months currently fully BF.

I have horrid AFs with pain, pain and more PAIN and have to say not having it during pregnancy was wonderful! So was particularly peeved that it came back so relatively soon after.

We'll be TTC again soon so I guess it'll come in handy , but still... grrrrrrr.....

Hope yours arrives for you soon hun.

My son is 13 months and no sign yet.

His feeding freqency is similiar to your son.

Except I'm . Another reason for me to do extended breastfeeding.

my bubs isnt to much into alot of solids but still relies on my milk , almsot 12 months old no af , last time it was like 6-12 weks after i fully stoped

I'm curious to know too - we want to start TTC again when DS is about six months old but maybe we won't be able to I honestly never really thought about how long it would take AF to come back...

First time 15 months and second time 17 months.

Exclusively b/f for 6 months, but still heavily b/f until about 13-14months. It was around the time that I night weaned that it came back (but still fed throughout the day).

6 or 8 weeks!! i hate it, when ever i get it cas bites me! ouch

Fully breastfeeding and mine came back when DD was 6-8 weeks . I had intermittent bleeding after Locia, so it feels like I have never 'stopped' bleeding on one form or another after she was born.
I was so looking forward to having a lovely break whilst I was breastfeeding, but alas, Mother Nature had other ideas!

I've always had regular, long in duration and heavy AF, so don't know if that has anything to do with it.

I got mine back when DS was about 9 months as soon as he started eating some solids. he was fully breastfed up until then.

AF has been fairly regular ever since I have extremely long cycles though between 45-50 days and I now ovulate twice in each cycle.

DS was 19 months and still BF (still is in fact).
