I bled for the first 6 or 7 weeks after Paris, then got period back about 5 mths i think - but she was nearly fully bottle fed by then so i fugre that contributed to it coming back.

With Ayja, i have had it twice, and she is 9 months. - i usually get it the last week that i am out on placement (about 3 weeks) - so again, figure that it's because when i am out on placement, i don't feed Ayja very often, maybe only a couple of times a day. but otherwise, i haven't really had it. as soon as i go back to feeding full time i don't get any sign of it till 3 weeks into the next placement. every one is different. don't stress too much but if you want take a test.. might put your mind at ease.]]> Wed, 01 Mar 2006 21:32:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1656&PID=30690&title=how-long-before#30690 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1656&PID=30677&title=how-long-before#30677 Author: lizzle
