EBF mums - how soon did your period return - poll

[hanfromman]

Just seeing if there is a common time to get it back, as it seems to vary quite a lot!

 

[Bevziibubble]

Still not got mine back at 15 months!

 

[CandyDay]

5 months for me. And yes I was EBF with lots of feeding at night as well.

 

[bananaz]

Still waiting at 12 months

 

[crissyj]

I've heard it comes back most frquently when babies start to drop night feelings which was the case for me

 

[staralfur]

13 months. Though I haven't my 2nd one yet, so maybe it's gone again?

 

[Button#]

Still waiting for mine!

 

[ShelbyLC]

Got mine back exactly 1 month pp while breastfeeding twins. I feel cheated.

 

[F0xybabe]

4 months here and still havent gotten it. She only wakes once or twice at night.

 

[likeaustralia]

Still haven't gotten mine at 11 months.

 

[ledzep]

I got mine last week 2 days after taking Floradix iron. I think I read someone else who this happened to before.weird! So 8 months here : ((

 

[Feebie]

13 months but that was with the help of Agnus castus.

 

[girl friday]

9 months with DS1, still waiting with DS2.

 

[freddie]

5 months - I was bf every 1-2 hours round the clock so was very surprised by the early return!

 

[minties]

Just after 8 months with Thomas. Nothing yet with Sophie.

 

[XJessicaX]

Sigh. I EBF and my body is like "GIMME MORE BABIES"..........7 WEEKS PP my AF arrived. I could not believe it! Got the coil put in straight after that and bled for a bit and then no more AF since.

 

[superfrizbee]

Nearly 11 months for me but I've only had one and would have had another by now if I was regular so obviously my cycle is still screwy!

 

[Tacey]

19 months with Alice, nothing yet after Arthur.

There's a chart on Kellymom showing the average time if you use ecological breastfeeding here.

 

[xxlovexx]

4.5 months pp, while EBF and bed-sharing...he was also nursing at least 3 times during the night.

 

[ThinkPositiv]

I'm hoping mine returns soon!! We want to try again in September. But guess I gotta be fertile for that! She dropped all night feeds 6 weeks ago, fingers crossed. It's been 4 months.
