I'm not sure this is the right board, but I'm addressing this to ebf moms specifically, because I think nursing has something to do with the fact that LO is 10.5 months and I haven't had a period yet. Specifically, multiple overnight nursing sessions! I'm not anxious or anything, just curious!
I'll do a poll so you can vote, if you don't want to talk about it. I'll do multiple votes for those with multiple babies.

I got a sort of warning period at 8 months pp. It was just a day or two. Then I got a real period at 9.5 months. LO was EBF. STTN at 4 months. Started solids at 7 months. I didn't expect to get it back so soon!

LO will be 1 in 2 weeks (!!!!) and mine hasn't come back yet.
ETA: She night-weaned herself around 9 months and started solids at 6 months.

Same as @lawbee11, 8.5 months pp and still no period. I'm really hoping it stays away for a year or more 
I'm not voting yet since it could still come back within the poll numbers...

4 months with A and that was with 2-3 night nursing sessions as well. Only 5 weeks now so it has not come back yet.

@MoonMoon: I didn't get my period back until 14 months pp with DD (and I stopped nursing her at 11 months). With DS, I just completely weaned him 2 days ago (he's turning 14 months in a couple days), and I still haven't had my period.
I've only had my period 2 months out of the last 4 years!

10 months PP with my son.
I think 3 months PP with my daughter (I'm now 4.5 months PP). But I had the copper iud placed at 8 weeks PP, so I'm not sure if my period is really back or if my body is reacting to the iud. 
in any case, I'm super sad about it. I was hoping to enjoy several more months of no AF.

@lawbee11: well my sister didn't get hers back until she weaned at 13 months, and her son had been STTN for a few months by then, so I'm still hoping. That said, c has been STTN several nights a week now, so if it comes back bc of that, it's a good trade off.

14.5 months for us, almost two years to the day since I'd had my last period! LO is still night nursing at eighteen months but we had a period of longer stretches of asleep about a month before AF returned.

I never got a period back. I got pregnant when J2 was 16 months without ever having a cycle. So I voted it still hasn't come back, but I'm pregnant so it's slightly incorrect.

I got mine almost two years to the day of my last period before getting pregnant! It was a nice run!
