Mine came back at exactly 7 months PP. Still breastfeeding at 9.5 months and getting regular periods now.

Also: Booooooooooo (thumbs down). Periods suck!

With my first daughter, (EBF) I started my period at 7 months PP. Now, after my second, (EBF) I still haven't been visited by Flo and my youngest is a little over 9 months. It's been nice to have a longer break this time, but I guess that's to say there's no rhyme or reason!!!

Just got mine right around the 7 month mark. I was hoping for longer! Good news is it was super light and half the length of a regular one. Was gone in less than 3 days.

I am breastfeeding my son, he is on solids, no formula, and I still haven't gotten my period. He is 8 months old. With my daughter, we stopped exclusively breastfeeding at 8 weeks, I pumped for another couple weeks, and my period returned about a month or so after.

I am 18+ weeks pp and no period yet. my LO is not entirely EBF, I give about 4 oz of formula a day as a suppliment that I add it to his bottles for daycare. my pumping output is not enough to cover his bottles for the time I am away. (I have a big baby with a big appetitie, and am pumping 4 times a day to make bottles!!!

I lost a little bit more (more than my previously non-existent loss that is) after I got my TOM. But, also, I think I just got a little more serious about tracking/exercising. The thing about TOM (just to warn you) is that your milk production drops a little bit (at least mine does). I find myself stressing out, like "OH NO! I SHALL NEVER PRODUCE ENOUGH MILK TO FEED MY SON! AND HE SHALL STARVE TO DEATH OR BE FORCED TO DRINK THE DEVIL'S POISON." (I can carry a fairly dramatic interior monologue.) And then TOM goes away, and all is fine again.

I ebf my daughter until 2 months ago (she's 8 months old) where I added in solids. My periods came back at 3 and half months and have been very regular until this month where I had the brown spotting that you described when I wiped and then nothing so far this month so it's like a week late if I have one this month at all. I'm assuming your period can start and then just stop again depending how often you feed. I hope that's the case anyway.

Hi,
I've been BFing my daughter for almost 18months now. In the beginning, it was exclusively breastmilk but now she's eating solids too. It's been 27+ months since I've had my last period.

My little girl is almost 11 months, BFs 4x a day, and I still don't have my period. I did have slight spotting one day at about 4 months PP, but nothing else. The last few months I've been feeling like I have PMS every 3-4 weeks, but nothing happens. Hoping to keep up the early morning and bed time feeds until about 18 months, and I would love it if I could get pregnant again without getting my period back. That may be wishful thinking, though! :laugh:

I got mine last month at 11months PP. I'm supposed to be getting it (like yesterday),but i don't feel like it's coming?!

With my first born,i didn't get it back until 13 month PP and I had already stopped BF him at 9 months.

I definitely think everyone and every body is SO different.

My ds was almost 1 when I got mine back. I'm hoping it will stay away that long this time too. I've only had two periods in almost three years. Woohoo! Lol

As others mentioned before my period return seem to be associated with the no or very limited night time BFing. I EBF both kids until 6 months when I started to supplement with solids, and never pumped or gave formula.
With my son my period returned around 9 months pp, and he was down to 1 feeding a night by then and kept it that way. My period became clockwork regular immediately.

Now my girl is very different stry. She slept though the night without any feeding from 3 .5 months, and my period returned a bit more than a month later. She started teething around that time, and went back 3-4-5 night feeds. Low and behold I missed a period , which never happened to me in my entire life except when preggo. The teething went away and she slept better after a month or so, and I got a period again when she was 7 mths old. She started teething again and waking up and want to be feed frequently at night , and I missed an other period last month. She is 9 months old right now , and nothing again. We are working hard on improving her sleeping habits , and the last few nights I only feed her twice during the night . If I can keep this low at night, I might get a period again in a month. It is rather annoying.

For me weight loss totally correlated to my period and BFing.

After the initial loss, my weight stalled until I got my period back. When I got back my period with my son, it started to come off extremely slowly. Once I finished BF at age 2 , the weight started to come off at a normal pace.
Now with my girl, again total plateau after the initial loss for months. Around the time I gt my first period I lost a few lb all the sudden. The month after that no perid, no weight loss. Then my perid come again and I lost a few lb again. Then no period again and for 3 weeks in a row the scale showed the exact same freaking number. During this entire time, I ate at the same deficit level.
So yeah, the whole calorie in/ calorie out theory is a total BS. The whole weight issue is hormonal.
I personally I WANT MY PERIOD. TOM maybe a bi@ tch, but at least I can lose weight.

It's offical ... My period has returned LOL after 9m of pregnancy and 18m of BFing Yeah I was really wasn't missing it!

I got my first "period" around 6/7 months. But it was really light and I didn't have any other normal symptoms except for light bleeding. I have gotten maybe 3-4 more of these at 13 months pp. I am afraid my first real period is going to be terrible. I imagine it's coming soon, as I am pumping 3xs a day now and thinking about dropping again soon.
