When did your period return whilst breastfeeding?

[Deejoy17]

Less than 7% of women fully breastfeeding have their period when their baby is under 6mnths of age.

I was in this group as well, lucky me LOL

With Ds#1 - I had lochia for 6 weeks after birth at 8 weeks AF arrived, she came every 28 - 30 days after that, thank goodness I was wanting to TTC soon after birth, so it worked in well.

with DS#2 - I had a D & C at 6 days post birth, I thought this would delay AF for a while, wrong, she arrived back at 4 months post birth and was rugular after that until I made the big mistake off going onto the mini pill

For me, I got my bleed back at around 22 months with my first (she was exclusively breastfed, no solids at all until 13 months). My second was exclusively breastfed to 11.5 months and my bleed resumed a bit earlier at 20 months.

Thanks for your replies ladies.
AF decided to appear today, a little unexpected as I had no signs but here she is!
I must of subconciously known that she was on her way, hence my post!
I feel a little emotional today as it's the first one since before I got pregnant with DS and it's kinda like closing the door of the whol pregnancy / birth thing if that makes sense?
Atleast I still have breastfeeding him though!
Ah, maybe it's just those new hormones going through my body lol

Just had my af return for the first time a couple of days ago - so 10months.
Last time I breastfed for 10months, when DD self weaned, but my af still didn't return until another couple of months after that.
