Do you have your period back?

post #1 of 29
Thread Starter 

When did you get your period back after giving birth?  With my first child, it was when he was 10 mos, but now my second is almost a year and still no period.  He still nurses several times day/ night.  Just wondering abt the experience of other nursing moms.

My son is almost 19 months old and still no sign of my period!  It has been nice not worrying about it for so long, but we are hoping to TTC soon so we're slowly nightweaning in the hopes that will bring my cycle back.  I know that it can be totally different with different babies too, so I wouldn't worry. (:

I got it about 4 months after birth, and totally regular since then

It's been longer with each child. With my oldest it was around 7 or 8 months and with my youngest it was 15 months.

We're at 11 months and no period. I had a drop of spotting last week, but that was it. I also have PCOS and very irregular periods on top of nursing, so I'm not particularly surprised.

I'm almost a year PP and very pleased to not have returned to getting a period.  Our son still nurses for the majority of his calories.  I had a friend who did EBF and still got hers back at 2 WEEKS PP!!  YIKES!!

13 months - I've had 2 and they have both been exactly the same as they were pre-pregnancy. DD nurses a LOT both day and night.

I got mine back when my daughter turned 2 years old. I nursed her at night and during the day... I was worried too and was glad to get my period back smile.gif

With DS1 I got it back when he was around 10 months. With DS2, who's just turning 1, I still haven't gotten it back!

It's come back later with each babe for me, too - 3 months pp with my first and 11 months for #3 - hoping for 12 months + this time!

I got mine back a couple of days before my son turned 3. He nursed during the day and night. It was wonderful....

16 months with DD. About a month, if that, after I stopped pumping at work. Coincidence? I doubt it.

 

12 months so far with DS and no sign of it yet. He nurses 3 or 4 times during the day, if that, but quite a bit at night. I'm also 39, and my body's beginning to slow down a bit, so I'm hopeful it will stay away a while yet, but I hope I get it back eventually because I have a whole stash of beautiful mama cloth that is crying out to be used again!

Question: I know everyone is different, but why do some women get to have a longer "no-menstruation" phase than others? I nurse my 8month old day and ALL night!...as I mentioned, I started menstruating weeks pp. ??? just wondering. :)
