How long did it take for your cycle to return after having a baby & breastfeeding?

3 months here unfortunately First cycle was 28 days but the last couple have only been around 20 days. We're still feeding anywhere from 1-3 times over night and about 2.5-3hrly during the day.

I guess I was lucky. I BF for 11 months and it returned a week after my milk disappeared....Took 3 weeks for my milk to dry up then I got my period back on DS's first birthday!! Lol. Ironic really.

Mine returned when DD was 8 months. She had been having 5 feeds a day since she was about 3 months and only occasional night feeds.

AF has only just returned for me, the last couple months. Although it is not regular at all and it's spotting/bleeding all over the place. jack is almost 17 months, but I am still Breastfeeding and also have the Mirena IUD in which can also affect AF.
I actually just had Blood Tests (hormone tests) as I was a little concerned about all the random spotting etc...The Doctor told me today that I have just had a "really good ovulation". Whatever that means, LOL.
