When did everyone's come back PP?
What do you think was the reason why?
Mine just came back at 9 months PP. I think it's because she started STTN hence less nursing sessions. Now we're down to only nursing in the morning. 
She doesn't even really like to nurse to sleep any more.

9 months PP for me. I have no idea why it came back, she started STTN at 6 months, and is still EBF. I tease DH that the universe wants us to have another LO:)

Just got my first one at 10mths pp, I had stopped nursing her last month and she was STTN starting at 4 mths... I was surprised it took this long to come back.

AutumnLove, mine came back 29 or 29 days after my C-section too, and I've had it every month since. It's been a major bummer, adding to my PPD. I figured EBF would keep it at bay for a year!

At 4 months PP even though I was EBF...LO is 5 months now. Still waiting for AF to show up again. Boo.

@katyh: I was devastated! I hope it doesn't back as soon after my next baby is born!

It was about 5 months after my c-section. We formula fed basically from the start so I was surprised it took that long for it to come back.

7 weeks pp...no reason why because she wasnt STTN or using bottles!

It's been 9.5 months so far! But I woke up bloated and crampy yesterday so I feel like I'm not going to make it to 10 months.

7.5 months so far with no sign of AF. Hoping this lasts for a while yet!

About 4 months pp and I'm pretty sure it was because LO started sleeping 10+ hours at night.
My supply tanked too. I wish I had woken up to pump. Maybe that would have helped my supply.

6 months PP, EBF with a baby that STTN (holy acronyms batman!) and mine still hasn't returned which I am loving. And if you'll excuse me I'm not going to knock on every wood surface I can find since I'm sure I just jinxed myself.

15 mo, but we co-bedded and babywore all the time which probably delayed things. It was very nice.

@regberadaisy: @runsyellowlites: Pretty darn sure you both jinxed me! My period came back yesterday! LO is going to be 10 months in 6 days, I wish it would have held out longer. Booooo!

I'm glad some of you are saying that it took you a while even after you stopped breast feeding. I stopped pumping when I went back to work in the beginning of January and I still haven't gotten mine yet. LO is 4.5 months...I never had a great cycle anyway, but we were hoping to start trying for another this summer as long as my cycles come back regular.

6 Months... I think it came back because that was Cobi's first (1 month) stint of STTN.... by the time he wasn't STTN anymore, AF had already returned. BOOOOOO.
