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 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.
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.

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.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

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.
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)
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.
