    @YouGotMe: I am 7 weeks pp and just started the mini pill and have been bleeding all week. It's heavier than spotting so I was thinking it might be my period but maybe not?

    @Bluemasonjar: Possibly TMI: I bled PP for 5 weeks. Started the mini pill at 6 weeks and then bled for 6 more weeks until I decided to quit the pill and it stopped.

    I've had this happen with other BC pills before but I also just wasn't realizing that's what it was.

    @simplyfelicity: I had spotting at 11 weeks pp, but haven't started my period yet at 7.5 months

    15 months. We co-sleep and he's never really STTN without nursing.

    @MrsBrewer: This is me - spotted at 12 week pp and now nothing else at 4.5 months. So... I basically have no idea what's going on

    Perhaps not a helpful answer but, I'm not totally sure. I had some spotting or a really light period around 5 months pp, then got an IUD at 6 months and haven't had a period since. It's pretty great.

    ETA: DS is 15 months and I EBF for 12.

    Still no period at 5.5 months, really hoping I go a super-long time like some of you all have. Menstruation sucks. LO has been mostly STTN for a while now though, from like 7pm-5am with one dream feed at 11:30pm. Maybe all the daytime nursing is enough.

    DD is 6 months, and no period yet. She sleeps 9-11 hours at night, so I'mm pretty surprised it hasn't come back yet. I'd be for it to stay far, far away for a looooong time.

    First would have been around a year but I got pregnant again instead. Second time at 15 months.

    21 months pp
    I probably would of have gotten it sooner (dropped to two nursing sessions at 12 months, went down to one at 14 months, then completely stopped at 19 months), but between going back to work full time and DH being deployed, I was a bit stressed.

    By three months, I believe. This was after 6 weeks of pp bleeding....blah!

    I'm at 9 months and haven't started yet, even knowing that's she's been sttn for months bows.

    Had spotting around 2-3 months PP and a few times after that that I kept thinking were an actual period, but I just had a real, days-long period for the first time just before my son turned 10 months old. I'd been consistently not nursing/pumping for 9 hours overnight for months prior, but I think what brought it back for me is that he's gradually reduced his nursing time and we're down to 4 nursing sessions. Hope you still have plenty of time before yours returns monthly!

    10 months - we were down to 2-3 daytime feeds by then.

    14 months PP with DS

    I think it will come back sooner with DD because she is a much better sleeper.

    14 months. He started STTN around that time, so I'm pretty sure those things were related.

    10 mo. I was surprised bc she was still nursing every 2-3 hours during the day and at least twice at night.

    8 months with #1 and 7 months with #2. Both times was when I cut down to 3 or 4 feedings a day. I wanted to get my cycle back to get ready to TTC.

    6 months. And I got it every 2 months after that until I was back at work full time at one year - then I was back on my monthly cycle.
