Sorry to hijack your thread Danni

Catherine, Renee & SaraJane, I believe that some women are more susceptible to hormones disrupting their cycle. Some women don't get AF back for months after having a baby & bfeeding, for example, while others get theirs back after 5-6 months. Likewise some women take longer than others to get their cycles back on track after BCP. e.g. My cycles when I came off bcp were 56, 44, 36, 32 days for example (that's all I can remember, it was 9 years ago) and both times I was bfeeding it was about a year before AF returned. Yet I had one bfeeding friend who got AF about 7 months pp and another friend on bcp for years got pg first cycle off it.

Maybe they said give your body 3 months because that's how long it might take for it to start functioning properly.
