If breastfeeding, when did your AF return?

Question

I’m almost 4 months postpartum, and I keep feeling crampy. I’ve also had some symptoms, like a racing heart and headaches, that I feel are from hormonal shifts. And I’ve been extra emotional. I figured my period would stay away for a few more months, since I’m nursing and pumping, a total of about 7 times per day. But now I’m worried she might be coming soon! 😱😰 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼hope I’m wrong.

Answer

I was ebf, not one time did I supplement. Got mine back at 3 months. I was upset but there doesn't seem to be a difference at all :)

Answer

I never got one between kids 1 and 2. I breastfed my first until 15 months, though I got pregnant when he was about a year old. 
I'm 5.5 months pp with my second and still haven't gotten one. We are EBF. I haven't had a period since I got pregnant with my first in March of 2016.

Answer

Answer

Answer

16 months pp

Answer

I’ve been breastfeeding for 18 months and haven’t had a single period!

Answer

With my first it came back 5 months pp but I skipped every other for my first few cycles. With my second it came back around 8 months. Both were breastfed only although my second was eating through the night longer which I think is why it took longer for my cycles to return. Also with both I got cramping monthly for a couple months before my cycles returned.

Answer

Even with exclusive bf plus pumping mine usually comes back at 3 months. Totally unfair.

Answer

I stopped BFing at 13mo and didn't get my first period until 18mo PP.
