When did you get your first PP period?

[Saudade]

I might have had one at 6 weeks pp. I had stopped bleeding for a few days and then seemed to have a period. IDK.

The one I count was 6 months pp, to the day. Second one was at 8 months pp. It was not horrible and actually it was better than pre-pregnancy in terms of cramping pain and flow.

I EBF.

14 months, when I quit the mini pill. Still bfing.

[justjen]

Not yet. L is just shy of 11 weeks, and I'm still BFing.

[bunch]

12.5 mos - 3 days after I weaned.

I had phantom symptoms from 4 mos on. At my annual exam my dr even thought one of my ovaries was enlarged and said it would probably "drop an egg any day." Nope. I didn't even ovulate until after my first period.

[minzy]

She is still breastfed but my period came back when she was 9 months old. It seemed to correlate quite closely to when I stopped pumping at night.

About 11.5 months. I BF until 14 months but I had cut out a BF session or two when my period returned. I think we were down to 3 feedings a day at that time.

[Willis Jackson]

12 mo and 11 mo, respectively. Still BFing both times.

[zeewifeandmama]

Exactly 13 months from when my first was born....I bf for 27 months. I got lucky, my pp periods weren't too horrible.

[dragonfly08]

If I remember correctly (and it's been a while...they're 6 and 9 now!) it was around 12-13 weeks pp with #1 and 5 months pp with #2. Both were FF due to latch issues.

[Deleted]

7 weeks ff from the begining. It was awful. The flow was so heavy I thought I was hemorrhaging & went to the hospital.

[curbsideprophet]

It was around 6 months. I was not very happy with that since DD was EBF. I was hoping it would stay away longer.

[fortmyersbride]

14 mos pp with DS. I weaned him at 13 mos.

DD is 13mos. No pp yet. She still BFs 3-4x/day.

I EBF'd both kids.

[katiescarlett]

I EBF both kids. First time it came back at 9.5 months postpartum. Second was 6.5 months.

[Mushe]

Not yet, woot! 11 mo pp and I bf.

[rootbeerfloat]

19m and 23m. I was still BF.

[Ashley&Scott]

9.5 mo pp & no period yet. I'm bfing.

I remember having a period type back ache at 3 or 4 mo pp but never got a period.

[satama]

Around 11 months with DS1, I was breastfeeding. I am at seven months now with DS2, hoping to get to at least a year without getting it this time.

[badtzmaru22]

DD is 8mo and nothing yet. I am BFing. I also have PCOS, so who really knows when I'll see a period.

[whitemerlot]

I found out I was pregnant with twins just after my son's first birthday and had not had a period. He was still nursing quite a bit at the time. I lost the pregnancy about 2 months later and then got a regular period after that. I did keep breastfeeding and got pregnant with my daughter when he was 20 months old. We weaned at 28 months.

So far I haven't had a period since my 5 month old was born. EBF.

[froggy76]

8 mo. DD was technically still EBF at that time, but I was only pumping 1x per day at work and supplementing with my freezer stash.

[holly116]

EBF, 4 months, almost to the day, both times, before we started any solids. I chart and use OPKs to avoid pregnancy and ovulation returned with the first period. It sounds crazy, but I was thankful to get it back, my hormones were beyond sporadic until that point.

I got pregnant with DS when DD was 9 months. I was able to make it just shy of a year breastfeeding my DD. (My supply tanked towards the end of the first trimester.. I can only handle one parasite at a time)

[h]

6 months with both kids. They BFed for 24 months and 28 months, respectively. I got my period within a couple weeks of introducing solids.

[hannamaren]

6weeks? I dont remember , but it was quick. FF only. The first and second periods were awful. Then I got the IUD. No periods since then.

[jessj222]

11 Months to the day, I was still BFing or pumping 4-5x/day, but hadn't done an overnight feeding since ~4 months.

[mie]

EBF:

#1 - 4 months PP
#2 - 8 months PP
#3 - 7 months PP

[pamela]

2 months, while EBF. Yeah, that sucked.

[speckledfrog]

I was 3 months PP and EBF. I felt totally robbed! I got my second at 6 months. The bad one was the third period PP.

[nannersp]

9 months. I breastfed for 12 months.

[suburbanzookeeper]

I BF'd (28 months) + had a Mirena and my first PP period didn't show up for 18 months and it was super light.

[ohgillian]

FYI, there is apparently something called "6 week bleed" or something like that, where even if your PP bleeding has stopped, you might bleed again around that time.

To answer your question, mine started back about 8 months? I think I read that it often coincides when when your LO STTN.
