With DD1 I think I was around 4m and that was because I got the mirena (had a horrible experience with it). With DD2 I'm almost 4m pp and nothing yet. I'm hoping to go at least 6m but I go back to work this week so I'm not holding my breath

Right between 5 and 6 weeks and I was EBF. It was right before my 6 week pp appointment. My OB confirmed that it was period when she examined me. I continued to get a period monthly after that, even though I EBF until my DD was 6 months old. It's unfortunately very possible that is your period. I felt cheated with EBF, didn't lose weight easily at all AND got my period back super early!
DD1 was 6 weeks after I went on the mini-pill and every 2 weeks until I went off the mini pill. DS was 8 months. DD2 was 8 weeks after bleeding for 7 and a half PP. DD3 was 5 months.
I think with DS, it was around 16 months. I ebf'd for 8 months and got a mirena at 6 weeks post partum but didn't get a period until I had it removed for ttc. Currently, DS is 10 months, was ebf'd until a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten a period yet. I also got mirena at 6 or so weeks pp. usually I don't get a period with mirena.
7 mos with DD1 (EBF). I had mirena after DD2 so nothing until I removed that when she was 12ish mos and started on the pill (EBF until she was 18 mos). With DS, it started at 6 weeks. I EBF, no pumping or formula, and it has been clockwork since 6wks (he's just shy of 6 mos now). So annoying. FWIW, lochia stopped completely at 3 weeks for all three kids.

I found out I was pregnant when my first was 12 months old because I was extremely ill. The second time my dd was 15 months. My kids were crappy sleepers and nursed all of the time. They also refused pacifiers and bottles.
DD2: 6 weeks and EBF. It's been somewhat irregular since and I've been on the mini pill then switched to skyla IUD then got that taken out and put in the paraguard after I bled for 2 months straight. I feel like my body is finally settling down and my periods will become regular. I'm still breastfeeding.

Right when I went back to work at 6 months. I was still EBF and only had to replace 3 feedings a week (only worked 3 am a week) and she BF a ton. I was so disappointed....
