    AF returned when Nixon was 5 months old. I was still bf but had recently dropped one feed.

    I think AF arrived last night! So that's 5 months, 3 weeks & 3 days.

    Damn!

    DS is exclusively BF too.
    Just wanted to update. I have no idea if it was AF or not but the bleeding didn't even really last 12 hours. And I've had nothing since. Cooper is now nearly 7 months old.

    Strange.

    I got mine back when I had to go for my six week check up - lucky me - I didn't get a break at all

    Got mine back this week; 7 months to the day! Dropped 2 milk feeds from 6 months, i now feed morning and night. Wanting to try for baby number 2 now, am worried that miscarriage is common for first pregnancy after giving birth. Has anyone heard of this?

    I've just started spotting a bit today.....so 5 months and 3 days after Caty was born. She was vomiting last week and her appetite dropped (she's fully BF) so I'm guessing that's what has bought on AF?? Dang AF!

    I got AF back last Friday. Cooper was 11 months, 2 weeks & 5 days old. So I did pretty well!

    I'm still BFing too. He has 3 BFs per day.

    12 weeks after the birth of my DD AF arrived......earlier than I expected as DD was fully breastfed.

    Cool

    Still none for me....my DD is 9.5 months and on three breastfeeds a day...although we have been travelling a lot so she gets extra sometimes...

    But want to be PG soe half thinking about weaning fully - maybe wait until 1 year then see. I am 35 so a bit anxious
