When did your period return post baby?

no AF here, and ds is almost 5 months and has been on formula for just over 2 months now.

AF returned at 10weeks. I wish I had found this forum a few days ago. I went to the doctors two nights ago as bright red blood was dripping out of me.
I am exclusively breastfeeding and this is my third child. With my first two children AF came back at around 9/10 months. I expected the same this time so when I got AF on Saturday I went to the hosiptal as I thought there was something wrong, the doctor who saw me said it was unusual to be bleeding. Two days after seeing him I had bled again, but this time more, I soaked a pad in 30mins. I panicked so went back to the hospital, I am now on tablets to stop me bleeding and I have had to stop breastfeeding. I am going for a scan today to check if everything is ok. If it is I hope to start breastfeeding again.

Has anyone else been in the same boat. Are the first periods normally this heavy after giving birth?

My period returned when my son was 14 months old. At this point he dropped from about 6 BFs a day (4 during the day and 2 overnight) to around 4 (3 during the day and 1 overnight).

Just had my first period after DS2 and it was a killer. Really painful!
I didn't get AF until after fully weaning either of my boys. I have really only weaned them to get my cycle back so I could TTC again. I certainly won't be in any hurry to wean the next one. lol.

I put 18 months + because AF returned yesterday, and DS is 18 months tomorrow. Got AF back just less than 5 weeks after stopping BF, although was down to two feeds per day for months before that.
