When did the witch return for you BF'ing Mom's?

[Grateful365]

Just curious on when the witch returned for all you mom's who are exclusively breastfeeding? I know it varies.

I want to TTC again as soon as possible but have no idea when that will be possible.

Mine returned at 4 months pp, exactly about your sons age

 

[Bevziibubble]

Mine was around 16 months.

 

[Urchinia]

Mine didn't return until a month after I stopped breastfeeding (so I was 15 months PP).

Even when I was just Bfing in the morning and once or twice over night, I still didn`t get AF!

 

[Grateful365]

Wow! Due to my age and how long it took to conceive our first child, I really want to start TTC again soon, but I don't want to stop BF'ing my son either...

Everyone is different and there are plenty of people who have conceived without the return of periods, but I know it can be difficult actively trying without one.

Good luck x

babyjan - how often were you breastfeeding? Were you pumping at all? That gives me hope!

I probably pumped 3 times in 23 months and my son was and still is glued to the boob at all times, I was really shocked by its return.

Basically he nurses way too often to keep track of lol x

 

[Grateful365]

Oh ok! Wow that does seem really soon!

I am exclusively BF'ing, although I only do actual BF'ing once in the morning and twice in the evening. I pump while at work full-time. DS sleeps 8-11 hours a night with no feedings so I thought that could help my chances? Although I do wake up to pump so I guess that is pretty much the same thing.

Oh yes that may definitely help bring your periods back sooner!

I forgot to mention that my son doesn't STTN and nurses through the night so that also was a reason I was even more surprised by its return, plus I didn't want a pregnancy and was planning on using breastfeeding as a natural preventation lol

I really hope it does return for you soon and you get your BFP x

With my first it took exactly a year to come back I remember because the witch came during DD's birthday party.

Oh my what timing! LOL She has a way of coming at the worst times! HAHA

 

[staralfur]

13 months PP.

You can definitely still get pregnant before your period returns.

After my first baby, 3 months pp. after my second, 2 months pp. I'll trade you! I don't want mine back until I'm done nursing ( a little over a year) but I always get my cycles back so quickly... Hope things come around for you since you want another little one now!

First son, nine months....this time, six weeks!!!! So not fair.

 

[aliss]

13 months and I am still waiting. He is almost entirely on cow's milk in the day but loves the open-boob bar all night sooooo...

 

[minties]

8 months and 10 months.

 

[Tacey]

19 months with my first, and it came back a few days ago, so nearly 19 months this time too.

A La Leche League leader I know fed very often, and it came back within a couple of months with all of her children.

It really does vary!

 

[Skittleblue]

Mine was nearly 10 months

 

[dan-o]

Mine never returned this time, I got a bfp instead, yesterday!

Last time it was about 7 months pp.
