    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.

    My AF returned today!! It's been a long time between drinks!

    22 months of no AF, prior to conceiving DD my last AF was November 2008

    DD is 13 months old and breastfed on demand though the feeds have dropped slightly lately with my return to work.

    My bleed returned at 6 months this time, i was a little suprised as with the other three, I think it was at least 9 months. But here we are. Not bad for a 44 yr old I spose!
