My 3rd baby is now 9 months old. I haven't had my period yet. I don't remember it being gone so long with the first two...how long before your period returned?

I EBF both my boys...and got my period back 7 and 7.5 wks post partum. (So not

fair!)

I have EBF my 3 kiddos & got my period 4 wks EXACTLY after birth.

I swear my uterus is a Swiss timepiece

Mine just came 2 weeks ago! Grrr!

Not fair! My LO is only 3 months old.

I got mine back with dd at around 5mos, literally days after she started baby cereal. With ds it was around 8wks because I started the pill

4 mos. SOOOO not fair!

I got my period back at about 8 months with both of my children. That was about 2 weeks after they stopped sleeping in the same room as me.

16.5 months PP and still no AF in sight.

13ish months with my son (but I was on the Depo shot) and 15-16 months with my daughter.

yummymommy · 11-09-2007, 09:00 PM

5 mos with #1
6 mos with #2
currently 10 mos with no AF in sight - fingers crossed!

Good post though - I was wondering myself how much that varies.
