I went from breastfeeding multiple times a day and pumping once a day to almost nothing (dried up by accident on decongestants and stress) and my period came back almost exactly 4 weeks later! With LMW I'm exclusively pumping. I'm down to 3 pumps a day and still no sign of Aunt Flo... whew! I'm really really dreading it... no period while BFing is like the little golden bonus no one mentions. No period while pregnant is not a bonus since it's replaced by all kinds of other symptoms!! Not having to worry about a period while you're parenting a newborn... awesomesauce. On that note, once I wean, I seriously want to look into the birth control that lets you skip your period!!
