Also, how many of you with more than one had a period while breastfeedng your first and how long did it take you to conceive baby number 2 once you actively started TTC?

I EBFed my baby and got a period back at 11 weeks.
My cycles were about 50 days long, and we conceived our first month trying when LO was 10.5 months old.

After DS1 I got my period back about 15-16 months PP. It was very regular and I got pregnant again when he was 21 months after one month of NTNP and while still breastfeeding him. After DS2 my period came back at 7 months, again very regular. While breastfeeding.

With Ellie I was nursing/supplementing. I would say she was 25% bm 75% formula. I had a period by six months, and was still nursing her when Lorelei was conceived. I was on Depo for over a year prior to TTC and had no periods during that time. It took me about 8 months off depo to get my cycles back, and we did not TTC that happened. After that it took about 4 months. Ellie was older, so we were nursing once, maybe twice a day at that time.
