DS was STTN for several months before AF came. I think it was because I spaced out his feedings during the day at 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-982162 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:24:56 +0000 mrsjyw 982162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally rang true for me.</p> <p>A started STTN (11+ hours, night weaned) at 12 weeks, AF came back about a month later at 4.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-982109 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 16:08:10 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 982109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: no correlation here. noelle slept through the night (defn: 10+ hours) since she was 5 months old and AF didn't return until she was 13 months (2 months after i completely weaned). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-982047 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 15:49:57 +0000 78h2o 982047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it did for me. LO started sleeping through the night (from 7pm to 6am) for awhile around 5.5 months and AF returned shortly after that. Now LO is waking up again sometimes in the night to nurse, but AF is still back. Lame!</p> <p>ETA, she started solids soon after she turned 6 mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-981139 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 12:04:25 +0000 shopaholic 981139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: wahhh!!! :sad: That sucks!</p> <p>@Ree723: @oliviaoblivia: Oh! I forgot about the correlation possibility with starting solids!</p> <p>Is it bad I can't even remember when to count LO STTN from? Some nights she won't wake up at all, some nights she wakes 2xs, but most is just 1x in 12 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980213 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:06:33 +0000 Sammyfab 980213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not the case at all for me. I didn't get AF back until one month after we weaned (13 months pp) and my LO STTN at 5.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980208 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 08:05:24 +0000 kml636 980208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, my LO has been STTN for the past month or so. Still no AF. I'm 8 months PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980136 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:37:05 +0000 mamimami 980136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, absolutely this was the way it happened for me. Also throw solids in the mix. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980126 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:29:55 +0000 Adira 980126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Okay, so presumably if AF is coming back, she'll come back regardless of the mini pill or not? Not that it matters... I'm hoping to go off the mini pill in another month assuming I can convince Hubs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980120 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:27:28 +0000 autumnlove 980120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I am also on the mini pill and I get AF but it was back before I started taking it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980119 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:27:16 +0000 CarrieLouWho 980119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started sleeping 6-7 hours around 6-8 weeks. I thought I got AF back at 3 months pp... But now LO is almost 10 months &amp; no AF since... She's sleeping 10-12 hours and I'm only nursing 2-3 times a day. Weird?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980115 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:25:26 +0000 Adira 980115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cain13: Oh, really??? I wasn't really sure how the mini pill worked and if I'd get AF on it or not. Sounds like it doesn't prevent you from getting it though! Bummer. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980075 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:12:20 +0000 coastmama 980075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I am also on the mini-pill, but AF returned anyway.</p> <p>AF returned at 5 months pp before we started solids and LO is still not STTN. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980074 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:11:44 +0000 regberadaisy 980074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: it was the case for us even though we were supplementing one bottle of formula a day!</p> <p>LO started STTN around 7.5 months; her average night sleep was around 10.5 hours. Around 9 months my period came back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980059 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:02:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 980059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. this was definitely the case for me. We sleep trained at 6 months and just about 2 weeks later he started STTN on his own, and right away AF returned... the sucky part was he regressed at 7.5 months and didn't go back to STTN until he was a year old - so it wasn't even a great tradeoff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980057 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 07:00:31 +0000 Adira 980057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on the mini pill, so not sure I'll see AF show up at all, will I? Xander's been STTN (7+ hours) for 2 months now. I'm curious if I go off the mini pill if AF will return. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980028 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:37:26 +0000 Beehive 980028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was STTN around 2 months old, and no AF yet (he's 9 months now). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980018 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:31:30 +0000 hilsy85 980018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO had been doing 6-7 hours in a row for about 1 month when AF returned at 8 months pp;. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980017 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:30:47 +0000 LemonLong 980017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been sleeping 12 hours a night since 3 months old and I just got my period at 9 months pp. she's barely nursing at her last session before bed though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980014 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:30:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 980014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO STTN for 12 straight at 11 weeks. I got AF back when she was just under six months - three days after we started solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980007 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:25:03 +0000 autumnlove 980007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My periods returned before my LOs STTN. I also pump when my LO is asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-980004 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 06:20:15 +0000 chopsuey 980004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dd and DS both started sttn (8-12hrs) at around 2 months old.<br /> I got my period back at 7 months pp with dd.<br /> I'm 7 months pp now and no sign of AF </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-979987 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 05:38:56 +0000 SleepyMonkey 979987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started sttn at around 6.5 months and no AF yet. she is a little over 9 months now. crossing my fingers that it'll stay away until we wean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-979984 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 05:10:45 +0000 Ree723 979984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started sleeping 12 hour stretches overnight at 2.5 months and was EBF. I didn't get AF back until 8.5 months pp. For me, the return of AF correlated with an increase in solids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-979981 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 04:40:36 +0000 bpcmarj 979981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we cobedded until 11.5 months, where she nursed whenever she wanted during the night. When we crib trained, she started sleeping from 7-5 (at least) and my period returned a month later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-979973 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 04:07:03 +0000 Smurfette 979973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Mirena so I really shouldn't get my period but I had spitting off and on like 4 days last week, really bloated, and cramping so I wonder if I had a cycle. She is pretty much sleeping 7-5, nurses, and back to sleep till 630/700. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-979969 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 03:50:53 +0000 Penny Lane 979969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was sleeping a long stretch (12am - 5am) from 2 months. AF came back at 3.5 months PP, and by that time he had stretched his long sleep to 10pm - 5/6am, then would feed and sleep again til 8 or 9. </p> <p>so depending on your definition of STTN, he probably was STTN for at least a month before AF came back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-sttn-af#post-979961 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 02:41:30 +0000 lamariniere 979961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was not the case for me. DS didn't sleep through the night until he was just over 1 year and prior to that he was waking up at least 2-3 times per night to nurse. AF came back when DS was 10 months. </p>
