When did your period return whilst breastfeeding?

[Jaycee]

Hi there,
My DS is 8.5 months old and I have not had a period yet.
He is exclusively breastfeed (apart from some solids now) and always has been and currently has around 4 to 5 bf's a day.
Just wondering whether anyone is in a similar position with not having a period return and for those ladies who have finished bf'ing, when did it return?
Is it possible to ovulate and not have a period due to bf'ing?
Thanks for your help!

sorry to say but I didnt get mine back until after I had stopped BF but I have very light AF that only last 3 days anyway so always it was due to this.... There are plenty of women who get PG while BF so it must happen...

At 7 months i still did not have my period back and decided to weant DD.
I am still waiting for my period to return but then again i did get a BFP 2 weeks after weaning!
- just a hunch with morning sickness that i took a test.

There is a huge poll in the post natal section about this.

Still havent seen AF here and DD is a week younger than your little man.
