When did you get your first postpartum period once you stopped breastfeeding?
With my first, I stopped at 4 months and got my period exactly two weeks later.
This time, I stopped at 5 weeks and it's been a month and no sign yet.

I BF LO1 until 13 months and got AF at 10 months PP. LO2 is now 13 months and I'm still BF and AF came back around 2 months PP, but I think it was related to getting an iud around the same time.

mine started again at 6.5 months while still nursing, and it was so light I wasn't sure if it was spotting since it was so light. so far I've had 3 cycles and they've all been pretty light.

I stopped BFing at 9 months and got my period a week later. I'm on CD36 since then and no sign of a second one. So I'm wondering when my second one will happen. Haha
