Bit late now, but in case anyone is interested, Kellymom has an interesting article on breastfeeding and fertility that makes for an interesting read.

The thing about periods is that they can be all over the shop. Anything that is 6-8 weeks post birth is classed as lochia, even if it has previously stopped and it's actually quite rare, if you are bf, to get them back before 8 weeks. Having said that, mine came back really early with DS1 (think it was technically 12 weeks) as I was bleeding FOREVER after he was born. Having said that, the first 2-3 months post birth is when you are hyper fertile, as Britney Spears and a mum in my antenatal/coffee group found to their cost!

With DS2, it was 11 months and feeding was erratic to say the least in that he'd dropped night feeds at 7 months, then they were back 3 weeks later! I felt "different" from about 9 months though and thought that it was going to put in an appearance, but it took a further 2 months. First one was fine, second one was atrocious (started on his first bday no less!) with heavy bleeding for a week and minimal bleeding for nearly another week!!!    I ma now waiting for the third, which is technically a day late, but finally went on the mini-pill last month and that has always made me very irregular.]]> Thu, 23 Oct 2008 10:14:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21859&PID=524934&title=bfeeding-mums#524934 <![CDATA[Bfeeding Mum’s? : ooh so you&#039;ve tested? lol-...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21859&PID=524900&title=bfeeding-mums#524900 Author: mum2emj

It was 12 months to the day - I got my first after having Charlotte on her first birthday, almost to the hour, lol.

I got mine back when DS was 7 mths. He started to drink less once he started eating more solids.

Looks like it is just one of those random things of when it comes back.   

Maybe you should do a test to rule it out (or in).

Good luck

Tammy, yep you can get PG without getting AF cos you can still ovulate prior to AF arriving.

Mine came back when Ems was 4 months old. She's just turned 8 months, still BF, and I've had 3 AFs so far. The cycles have been about 35 days and AF is heavy and lasts up to 7 days, with spotting in between. Whereas before Ems was born I was a pretty regular 28/29 day cycle with regular/lightish AF only lasting up to 4 days and never spotted in between. I wish it had stayed away longer though.

When did your period return?
With the boy's I got it back exactly 4 week's after having them and was still feeding at the time, but not very well.
This time I have not got it back I am starting to wonder if maybe I am PG(we have not used anything for contriception) my tit's are sore, but I can't tell if this is due to feeding or not.
I would rather not be tihs soon, but more worried bout what other people will say I can hear teh comment's now.
anyway enough ranting from me.
