My lo has been STTN since 7 mos when we sleep trained. We are currently doing solids 3x a day and are trying to give her 2 bottles in place of BFing during the day to see if that helps entice AF to return. I would like to be pregnant in Jan/Feb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149994 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 00:54:36 +0000 SAHM0811 1149994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought mine wouldn't come back til I weaned either (since my LO was a nursing addict!), but mine came back 15 months pp... I continued to BF, including sometimes in the MOTN, and still was able to get pregnant a few cycles after it came back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149991 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 00:46:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 1149991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get mine back until my LO was almost 14 months old </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149960 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 23:44:13 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1149960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get mine back until Noelle was 13 months (weaned her at 11 months... so 2 months after we stopped breastfeeding). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149923 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:27:41 +0000 mrskc 1149923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: oh, that's true. I've been paranoid lately that I've been pregnant. Every time I feel a little nauseous I test. Is it sad I have a stash of dollar store tests under my sink? We really don't want to be trying yet... but we haven't been preventing, so there's a chance it could happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149917 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:23:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1149917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got it at 16 months when olive finally started sleeping through the night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149911 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:19:17 +0000 junebugmama 1149911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: The only thing was I had no idea to test! I thought I had a stomach bug. However, it's nice to think I'll be AF free for 4 years or so at least </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149903 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 22:06:34 +0000 mrskc 1149903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: that's reassuring. I'm hoping I either just get pregnant with out a period or get my period back around when DS is 16 months. </p> <p>@Kemma: I didn't realize your LO's birthday was the day after my son's birthday! haha I think I'm a little crazy for thinking about #2, especially since DS still wakes up frequently during the night. I think looking back at his newborn photos is giving me the fever. </p> <p>@Anutka: He definitely likes to nurse during that time. In the last month though it's been mostly comfort nursing. I don't feel a letdown or anything. I wonder if that makes a difference? </p> <p>Thanks all for your feedback! I'm glad to know others didn't get their period for awhile too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149557 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 18:58:54 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1149557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came back at around 6 months PP with Ellie, but she was heavily supplemented. With Lorelei I was able to EBF and it came back at 16 months PP. You shouldn't have trouble TTC once your cycles are back, especially if they are fairly regular. Mine came back and were like clockwork again right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149540 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 18:34:33 +0000 dolphin 1149540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about this too. Almost 10 months and still no AF. I nurse and pump during the day and DD usually STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149393 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:25:18 +0000 Anutka 1149393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Wow, I'm in the same situation! Except we're ready to TTC #2 now.<br /> I've read on the LLL forums that prolactin levels are highest between 1:00am - 6:00am, so night nursing can effect the return of AF.<br /> Ditto to thinking I'm preggo every other week.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149390 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:19:44 +0000 shopaholic 1149390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to say I'm jealous! I EBF and it came back at 6 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149382 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:13:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1149382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months, cosleeping, baby wearing, terrible sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149243 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 14:37:33 +0000 travelgirl1 1149243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually saw my doc about this last week because I'm 11 months pp and no period. I also breastfeed through the night but also have pcOS, so i suspect that is a complicating factor. DH wanted to try for #2 like 6 months ago, lol, and my dr is convinced i'll neef to wean for my period to return so I have to wean when she's one. I'm so utterly sad about it, I know my age and PCOS mean we can't put off TTC but still, sad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149174 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 13:46:17 +0000 Kemma 1149174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: I'm in the same boat, Miss A is a year old tomorrow (!) and still no sign of AF here although I had a tiny amount of spotting about three weeks ago. A is still feeding 6-10 times a day incl 1-2 night sessions however, I am so NOT ready to even think about #2!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149096 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 13:11:35 +0000 lamariniere 1149096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine at 10 months PP and breastfed until 13 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149087 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 13:02:46 +0000 MarieJ 1149087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm eleven months PP and no sign of AF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149011 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:35:53 +0000 Koolbreeze 1149011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: yes, quite a bit during the day and at night too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149007 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:34:34 +0000 merriment 1149007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>19 months and no AF. I'm still breastfeeding in the morning and evening (and, gulp, during the night when she wakes up). I think it won't return until I completely night wean. Which has to happen soon, since we are thinking about #2... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149004 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:34:18 +0000 junebugmama 1149004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: My guy is 17 months. I am 9 weeks pregnant now. I never got a period in between the two. So I ovulated at least once at 15 months. I am still breastfeeding and DS sleeps with us as well and wakes at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1149001 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:34:04 +0000 immabeetoo 1149001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the exact same concerns as you. We're at 10.5 months, EBF, with rare night nursing for over a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148996 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 12:31:28 +0000 birdofafeather 1148996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not at a year yet, but i'm 9 months PP and no AF. BFing with 1-2 MOTN wakeups/feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148860 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:25:49 +0000 ksnow 1148860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well i'm not quite there yet, but almost 11 months and no period. Still breast feeding with comfort night nursings as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148843 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:21:37 +0000 Chastenet 1148843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get mine until 2 weeks before dd's first birthday. I wouldn't worry about it. Also, I still breastfeed her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148833 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:17:40 +0000 mrskc 1148833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Koolbreeze: Were you breastfeeding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148813 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:12:22 +0000 Koolbreeze 1148813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get mine back until 16-17 months pp with DS1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148803 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:09:28 +0000 mrskc 1148803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: yeah, I wonder if I won't get it back until I wean. I worry a little I won't be able to get pregnant until I wean too and I don't really want to stop breastfeeding yet, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. I've been a crazy person thinking I'm pregnant like every other week lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/1-year-postpartum-and-still-no-period#post-1148794 Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:05:20 +0000 chopsuey 1148794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine at 7 months and 8 months. But I'm jealous! My mom was shocked when I got mine back so early since she got hers back after she weaned. </p>
