Return of AF question for mums of 2 x BF kids

[OceanPrincess]

Wow, you guys had some short times before AF returned!! That's no fun!

With me, AF returned with DD around 5mths very briefly, then a little break and back seriously at about 7mths, which is when we conceived DS.

No sign of AF yet and DS is coming up to 5mths...

DD1 breastfed til 18 months, but slept through from very very early...AF back at 9 months
DD2 still feeding 3 times a day at 21 months, fed through the night til 16 months...AF back at 6 months (ripped off IMO )

Both babies were exclusively b/f for 6 months and then their b/feeds were supplemented with food.

DS1 - AF returned 4 months after delivery - cycles ranged from 26-28 days until DS2 was conceived.
DS2 - AF returned 2.5 months after delivery - cycles ranged from 25-27 days, but in the past year have reduced down to 21-24 days!

Totally not fair, lol!

with DD it was 6 weeks but that was with the minipill and cycles were all weird for a really long time following that whole phase.
with DS it was 10months.

Thanks everyone. Gee, it sure varies, doens't it. Both my boys slept through the night from an early age (DS1 from 8 weeks, DS2 from 3 weeks) but it apparently hasn't affected AF where I'm concerned.

What I didn't think to mention initially was that I went on Clomid to conceive DS1 because my cycle was up the putt. And that's why DS2 was a surprise package.

I'm not particularly concerned I haven't had AF yet, but in another few months I'll head to my GP to see what she reckons. I'm not inclined to seek assistance to conceive another baby (nothing beyond Clomid, at least) but if we're to have another baby I'd like it to be soon-ish only because of my age.

Thanks for your responses : )
