Not pregnant..</p> <p>@princessandthebee: wow!! That's a big difference. I should really be careful.. Just assumed I'd get it around the same time the second time around too but I guess that's not the case with everyone..</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: yes I am going to be way more careful now... 😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2548230 Thu, 12 May 2016 23:29:20 +0000 Kemma 2548230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fifteen months pp with my first and she breastfed until she was over three, my second child is now thirteen months and I still haven't had a period which is surprising because he's mainly sttn since he was only a few months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2548200 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:54:44 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2548200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 months after i stopped pumping with charlie at 9 months, so it came back at 11 months.</p> <p>it came back at 15 months for olive though i was still breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2548199 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:53:10 +0000 matador84 2548199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get AF for like 10 months after my first but it was around the 4-6 month mark with my 2nd. I couldn't believe it! I was nursing around the clock too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2548193 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:37:53 +0000 Maysprout 2548193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: a little before 2 years and a little after 2 years, my kids nursed way longer than planned. I would lose my period even when I was younger though, not sure why. But even knowing thats how my body has responded twice I'm not gong to bank on it as birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2548076 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:04:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2548076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.kiwi: I was really annoyed to still look pregnant at five months post partum. Jokes on me! She's here and wonderful though so I'm so thrilled that it's worked out this way.</p> <p>Be careful out there though. I definitely didn't expect to be fertile and was not happy to be pregnant again. Happy to have another baby but not to have another big belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2548067 Thu, 12 May 2016 18:57:15 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 2548067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After first baby, 10 months postpartum.

I'm abnormally exhausted the past 2 days..and bc my daughter sleeps pretty well I actually haven't been exhausted before then. So it's weird! I hope I'm just sick or something!</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: Haha I was hoping you'd respond bc I know you had #2 and #3 really close together... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2547959 Thu, 12 May 2016 17:13:37 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2547959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to freak you out.....<br /> I got pregnant 15 weeks after my second was born.<br /> My period returned at six months with my first.<br /> 12 weeks with my second, and 11 weeks with my third.<br /> All three were EBF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2547957 Thu, 12 May 2016 17:11:24 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2547957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both times it was about 2 months after I weaned. I weaned #2 around 14 months, so came back 16 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2547954 Thu, 12 May 2016 17:09:38 +0000 lilteacherbee 2547954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My period came back 11 months after LO1. LO2 is currently 9 months and no period yet! (I got pregnant after that first period, so I've only had one since Jan 2013, I'll take it!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2547952 Thu, 12 May 2016 17:08:41 +0000 skipra 2547952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only a test can tell you if you're pregnant but I don't think it's unusual to be totally exhausted when you have a young child and a baby that you are breastfeeding!</p> <p>My period did return later after my second - as if my body was saying, no way am I doing another pregnancy yet! I got pregnant when LO1 was just under a year, before it returned and it returned around 14 or 15 months with LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-moms-who-have-2-when-did-your-period-come-back#post-2547926 Thu, 12 May 2016 16:43:05 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2547926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you have 2+ kids and you exclusively breastfed both.. When did your period return post partum? Was it similar both times?</p> <p>I breastfed my son for 1 year. I think my period returned maybe 10-11 months post partum? It was great!</p> <p>I thought it'd be similar this time around.. I'm exclusively breastfeeding my 11 week old.. And expecting to not ovulate til I'm 10-11 months again... Is this foolish of me?</p> <p>(To be honest I've been EXHASUTED the last couple days and my husband thinks I could be pregnant..!!) </p>
