I'm still breastfeeding my 3 month old son, but I got my first period when he was 10 weeks old. Both of my sisters got theirs back around the same times with their children. I think it depends on the women in your family. If you have sisters…

I got my cycle back about 6-7 weeks postpartum and I'm still breastfeeding.  My cycles aren't regular yet, but I have had one each month since I started.

I had 2 1/2 weeks of post-partum bleeding then 4 weeks later my period started. Not even a short break from menstration. I was so upset. I did notice a drop in my milk supply right around the time I would start. Which was not fun feeling tired…

With my oldest daughter I started my period when she was about 13 months. And she weaned herself. It seemed as soon as I started she instantly rejected my milk. I heard that it can change the way your milk tastes. With my now 12 month old I still…

My son will be turning one next week and I have yet to see a spot of blood.  He's still nursing, but only twice a day, and I've gradually stopped pumping over the past few months as he's eating more solids and transitioning over…

My daughter is 16 months and I still nurse her. Just got my period 2 months ago. It was pretty painful and I had to take ibuprofen around the clock but it was short and lasted about 4 days. Then less than a month later I got another one...not cool…

My dauhter is almost 10 months and we have nursed exclusively. Oddly even though she is capable of sleeping through the night she has made a habit of waking up about 3-5 times a night to nurse where she will latch, fall asleep but wake up…

I am living proof that it's possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. I exclusively breastfed my son until he was 13 months old. When he was 11 months old, I got pregnant with my daughter and hadn't had a period yet.. My milk supply…

With DS, I got my period back at around 9.5mo.  The first one wasn't painful, but I did notice a substantial drop in supply (DH and I were away on vacation for a few days while my parents watched the LOs, so I was pumping).  I was…

Even though I exclusively breastfed, did not give a pacifier, co-slept, and nursed my daughter on demand....I got my period back right away.  I felt a little gipped!  I asked my midwife what could've caused my period to return so…

My daughter never took a pacifier and wanted to use me as one also. I tried really hard to get her to accept a pacifier instead of me, but after I did some reading about breast milk supply. I decieded it wasn't worth the fight. Your breasts…

I have been breastfeeding and pumping for 3 months now.  I recently went back to work, start my period, and am experiencing a lower milk volume.  It concerns me.  I want to breastfeed until 1 year.  Any suggestions??
