DS1 I got it about 14 months PP, 1 month after I quit pumping/nursing. DS2... just quit pumping and nursing so I'm in limbo waiting for it. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820963 Tue, 08 May 2018 07:53:12 +0000 avivoca 2820963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months with DD1.<br /> 8 months with DD2.</p> <p>It's pretty awful now. Not super heavy, but extremely painful for the first couple of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820947 Tue, 08 May 2018 05:44:58 +0000 pachamama 2820947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to 100% wean to get my period back, at 15 months. Even the five minutes i was nursing at night was preventing it.Period came 3 weeks later I believe. It really broke my heart. I remember sobbing the last time I fed. Baby didn't care. But I wanted to get pregnant which I did my second cycle back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820933 Mon, 07 May 2018 20:33:08 +0000 Amorini 2820933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Just realizing this is an old post but I didn’t get my period back until 16 months, a full 4 months after I stopped pumping during the day. (DS still nurses before daycare and before bedtime at 18 months.) After all that time, I was expecting that first PP period to be a gory nightmare but it so wasn’t! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820932 Mon, 07 May 2018 20:28:15 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2820932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months with #1. No signs of returning now at 9.5 months pp with #2. Very weird as they have similar infrequent nursing habits and both night weaned themselves by 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820931 Mon, 07 May 2018 20:23:50 +0000 Boopers 2820931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1: right before he turned a year old<br /> LO2: I just got it at 7 months pp 😫 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820922 Mon, 07 May 2018 19:30:08 +0000 snowjewelz 2820922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Iced Tea: I almost want to just get pregnant again lol!

I was still breastfeeding and had just started going to a reproductive acupuncturist to get things going again since we wanted to try. After LO2, I don’t have any signs yet at 11 months PP and breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2820804 Mon, 07 May 2018 12:43:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2820804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to come back an updated that DD2 is 16.5 months and I got my period back! She still nurses. This totals to me not having a period for 25.5 months total :shocked: I forget how much this monthly visitor sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2790325 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 11:20:48 +0000 hellobeeboston 2790325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get my period back until I 100% weaned each kid.

AF returned almost exactly 4 weeks after LOs stopped nursing overnight. At 15 months they were nursing 2x per day (morning and bedtime) and shortly after we reduced to just bedtime then weaned at 16 months.</p> <p>I was amazed at how STTN impacted my hormones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back/page/2#post-2789489 Thu, 30 Nov 2017 21:58:18 +0000 lilteacherbee 2789489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 months with DS1 and 10 months with DS2.

I nurses til 11m</p> <p>The only difference I can think of was that she was sleeping 10 hours straight by 4 months and he kept a couple night feeds until 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back#post-2789218 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 18:29:28 +0000 Portboston 2789218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 6 weeks after I weaned (weaned close to 11 months). I’m pretty sensitive to hormonal changes so I’m not surprised it took that long.<br /> I also went from ebf (no pumping) to nothing within weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ebf-when-did-you-get-your-period-back#post-2789186 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 16:13:49 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2789186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 18 months for me.

I stopped pumping at work at 12 months but was still nursing 3-4 times a day. </p> <p>15 months with LO2. He was still nursing a lot but started eating more solids around 13 months so I think that did it. </p>
