Mine was the same, agree it's pretty common.
My daughter was sleeping through the night pretty early on which I think contributed to mine coming back so early

Yup ebf and I got it 9 weeks pp…same as Tegan I think it was because she started sleeping through the night

Yup mine came at 8 weeks too. I got back on birth control. If you’re baby isn’t eating every 1-2 hours your cycle will come back.

Mine came back with a huge vengeance and I had such heavy flow 😩 I ebf every 2-3 hours so I was very confused too

yes my period just ended and it started last week (7 weeks postpartum) 😒

I’m 15 weeks postpartum and I haven’t started my period yet. I also ebf too. Aunt flow will come when wants too. Everyone is different.

I have EBF baby since birth. At around 9 weeks yes my period came back. Bled for a few days then it stopped . Then about 2 weeks later did it again.
The blood was different. I checked with my doctor they said not worry it’s hormones etc.

Yep... the 6 month break feels like a myth lol

12 weeks 😣

Yup - exclusively pumping every 2-3 hours and my period week 8 hit me like a cannon. My periods have not been the same since having my daughter, and ovulate a few days after despite being on the mini pill 🥲😭

I went 9 months pp before my period started and I ebf. I nursed on demand and I believe that really helped I didn't listen to the hourly thing.

I heard that was a old wives tale where if you breastfeed itll delay your period , but I personally dont know! 😭
