I have been breastfeeding for 19 months now and still have not gotten my period back. I’ve been tracking my temperature and ovulation cycles to be more knowledgeable about what stage my body is in, but I have spent 2+ years without a period now. I’m hoping to wean soon, when my son is ready… but I’m curious about how it affected other mamas.

16 months while still EBF twins, 13 and 11 months while still EBF singleton(s)

Mine was month 7 and I continued to breastfeed until 10 months.

Mine came when I stopped feeding (10 months)

21 months pp with my first.

With my first I got it back at 8 months despite still ebf.
With my twins I fed A until 6 months and B until 13/14 months. After I stopped completely my period came back about 2 months later.

6 weeks :(

With my first ebf I got it back at 6 months, I can’t remember with my second but she was combi fed and with my 3rd I got it back at 10.5 weeks x

I had postpartum bleeding for 7ish 8 weeks then got my period a week after that stopped and had it every month, till I got pregnant again

8 weeks🙃

11 weeks with my first, I ebf til he was a year. Currently 5 weeks with my second so in expecting it fairly soon!

26 months with my first (singleton), 21 months with my twins, 23 months with my last (singleton). All kids were breastfed at the breast for food and comfort. Didn’t use bottles or pacifiers.
It came back sooner with my twins, but I think that’s because I was eating more

On average it took 2.5 years for my cycle to resume with my second, third, and fourth. I’m currently nursing my fifth baby (15 months), and I haven’t had my period yet.

8 weeks on the dot and every month after like clockwork. Still BF at 16 months
