I definitely didn't have to wean and when we're together we nurse all the time (6x's a day) and my cycle is like clockwork. (He STTN at 3w so that didn't have anything to do with it coming back.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-cycle-come-back#post-510314 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 14:47:03 +0000 twinmama 510314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD went on a nursing strike when she got teeth at 4.5 months and my supply tanked around 5 mo.

Crazy how we're all so different!</p> <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Did it come back the first month after you weaned or was it a few months between weaning and the return of your cycle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-cycle-come-back#post-509958 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:40:24 +0000 pelikila 509958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS had to completely wean and even then it was another month before my cycle returned.

I have had one really light cycle so far, but nothing consistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-cycle-come-back#post-509917 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 12:30:13 +0000 Ree723 509917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still EBF with the exception of one meal of solids per day; LO is nearly 7 months old now. DH and I want to start trying for another baby in the next few months (we're actually NTNP now) but I still don't have my cycle back. I'm contemplating weaning in the next month or two so I can get things back on track and start properly trying, but ideally, I'd love to get my cycle back whilst continuing to BF and let LO wean naturally once I get pregnant.</p> <p>So, after having a LO, how long did it take to get your cycle back? Was it regular right away or did it take a while to regulate? If you BF, did you get your cycle back whilst BF'ing or did you have to wean completely before it returned?</p> <p>Thanks ladies! </p>
