OK This is TMI, but it feels very surreal and I just need to say it out loud. haha. I haven't had period since I was pregnant and now my LO is 9 months old!
We are weaning off breastfeeding/pumping (well, he weaned me because he refused the breast completely since 8+ months) and I am still pumping 2 times a day (only 3-4 oz comes out per pump nowadays). This is going to end soon.
I use an iphone app to track my period, and it said I haven't had my period for 561 days!

I still haven't had a period yet either, and I'm not looking forward to it coming back. Maybe I'll just get pregnant right away and go another two years without it! lol!

mine came back 2 months after stopping pumping with charlie at 11 months. it still hasn't come back at 13 months with olive and it probably won't come back until i wean since that's what happened last time.
i love not having a period! i've only had 2 in the past 4 years because of pregnant/breastfeeding!

I just IMed my husband and said my period came. He replied saying OK, not to mention you are on a projector (he's in London setting up a presentation). He was kidding but it cracked me up. HAHHAHAHAA
@prettylizy: That's how I feel! One incentive I had for breastfeeding was I don't want my period to come back! haha
@Mrsbells: I know a friend too her period came when she's breastfeeding, and she is still breastfeeding like a champ (her baby is 9-10 months now)!

I thought we were supposed to stay period free til we weaned!

Mine came back at 11 months after dropping to 3 feeds. Forgot what PMS feels like. Sometimes I feel so bloated I wear my maternity pants, ick!

Mine started coming back at 2 or 3 months after but haven't had an actual one until just now at almost 5 months. But I haven't had a legit period in almost 4 years and it has come back with a vengeance!

Mine came back at around 8 months and my supply took a dip! I was able to get it back up with tons of water and pig's feet! haha

@banana: Pigs feet helped your supply? Do tell!
I got my period around 4 months post partum and my supply dipped significantly. Taking more milk plus helped but I still need to supplement sometimes.

@sorrycharlie; I'm with you mine came back at 8w this time. With DD it didn't return until she was 9m and I dropped from 3 to 2 pumping sessions a day. I was WAY disappointed.
