Formula/Combo Feeders - PP period?

[soozy87]

I combo feed, maybe 90% BM, 10% FF. I thought it came back at 6 weeks pp, but it must have been residual bleeding. So I am 4 months out and it has not returned.

I did both with DD1, and still didn't get AF until 13 month @ 6 weeks after she weaned

Nothing yet at 7 weeks, but I've been feeling crampy the last couple of days, so I expect it's coming. I'm scheduled to get the nexplanon in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping maybe it'll hold off and I won't get it. DD is about 60% formula/40% breastmilk.

I was EPing and it came back at about 8 weeks. It was almost 2 weeks to the day when he started sleeping 6 hours.

The cruelest joke of all is I have PCOS and never get my period, I spent a lot of time/money trying to get pregnant only to have my body do what it was supposed to 8 weeks after giving birth. 

ETA I realized I wasn't who you were looking to answer until after I posted. Sorry! I wasn't supplementing until the period came back, after that I had to.

I started EBF with both kids and gradually switched to formula. Both times it was 4 weeks after I'd fully weaned before my period came back.

I technically combo fed, but I made so little milk that it was like, 90% formula, 10% breastmilk.

My period cam back four weeks pp. And has been regular ever since. It's crap.

We combo feed - somewhere around 70% formula, 30% BM? I'm 4.5 months PP with no period yet.

I did a combo in the beginning and spotted at 6 weeks, but never had a real period. Now we're 98% EBF, and I still haven't had a real one.

[greycat]

I've done a mix. Supplemented when he was less than 2 weeks, EBF and then supplemented again from 5-9 mo. Now at almost 1 year we mostly BF (he eats solids) and I give formula when I'm away from him. No period yet.

I combo fed both boys (DS1 until 6 months and DS2 until 4.5 months). My period didn't come back until about 6 weeks after I fully weaned both times. I've always had longer cycles (5-6 weeks), so it's like my body didn't "restart" cycles until I was no longer feeding/pumping.

[browneyedgirl9]

I'm glad you posted this, i was wondering that too. I'm 6 weeks pp, and i combo feed. I breastfeed every 2hr, but supplement when he is still hungry with 2-3oz of formula after bf. I haven't had my period yet, but was wondering when it would arrive.

I also just started back on birth control, the progesterone only kind. So i don't know if that will effect my cycle.

[shellbear09]

Mine came back at 3 months pp. I pumped for only 3 weeks and supplemented from the beginning.

I combo fed dd2 to a bit over 3.5mths at a ratio of 80/90% bm. Started weaning then and now down at 1 bf per day, just shy of 5mths. Still no period...

[rex]

formula fed and got mine at 7 weeks.

[stealthmom]

6mos. To the day with stealthson

[dancingirl21]

We EFF and it was right at 6 weeks for me.

[everafter07]

We combo feed half and half. Still no PP at 7.5 mo. I hope I didn't just jinx it.
