My son is 21 months and nurses a lot when we're together all day (6+ times) and 4-5 times when he goes to daycare in the afternoons.  I just got my period back the third day of our 10 day Hawaiian vacation.  I was shocked (and of course unprepared).  It was also strange because with the traveling and sleeping with me in our hotel, his nursing had INCREASED... kind of weird.

oh, and I was expecting it to be really heavy because of everything that I had read... but it wasn't bad at all.

My first baby i had to wean at 9 weeks and got a peroid shortly after.

 

With my 2nd baby I never really had a period (only two tiny scant spottings) and still got pregnant when dd was about 28 mos. She had been nightweaned for about 4 months. She was an avid nurser and terrible sleeper so I am happy that I got a break from a cycle at least.

 

 This baby is 9 months and I still have no peroid. So, I have not had a peroid since May 2007 and it has been nice!

I had pms sort of symptoms monthly for about 3 months before AF appeared (DS 18 months).  Since then it was a bit heavier than I remembered for a couple of months but also shorter (4-5 days versus 6-7) and it came back incredibly regular, every 28 days on the button.

So jealous of all you ladies that go almost two years without a cycle!

MY LO was born around 33-34 weeks, I was pumping at least a dozen times a day and nursing her up to 18 times (yes, eighteen!) a day in her first 3-4 months...

 

I began have a regular cycle before my twelve-week postpartum check-up. My midwife almost did not believe me. Still nursing her at 15 months, still getting a monthly cycle.
