I didnt get AF back (and DD is still fully BFed including 3 hourly over night) but got UTD before AF returned

So its totally possible! (i was sure I was going to be one of those that was going to have to wean before it returned, but nope!)]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2011 13:00:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38444&PID=1304692&title=breast-feeding-and-no-period#1304692 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and no period : While I am really enjoying not...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38444&PID=1303320&title=breast-feeding-and-no-period#1303320 Author: thetravelbugtribe

While I am really enjoying not having them, I kinda wish they would start again as we want to try for #2. But I am still BF, so...

It's amazing how different we all are. I got my period back when DS was 3 months old - despite being breastfed day and night on demand (a lot!).
My mum never got her period back until she had fully weaned us. With my sister that meant 3 years! So I was very surprised to find I was the complete opposite to her.]]> Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:15:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38444&PID=1290376&title=breast-feeding-and-no-period#1290376 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and no period : Like others have said, totally...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38444&PID=1289907&title=breast-feeding-and-no-period#1289907 Author: Richie

I got mine back the week after I fully weaned DD at 11.5 months. I thought it might take a while to come back, but there it was the very next week (I weaned very gradually though - only feeding once or twice a day for a last few weeks).]]> Fri, 18 Mar 2011 08:40:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38444&PID=1287682&title=breast-feeding-and-no-period#1287682 <![CDATA[Breast feeding and no period : I didn't get mine back til...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=38444&PID=1287677&title=breast-feeding-and-no-period#1287677 Author: newme

Prolactin (the milk-producing hormone) suppresses the hormones that are responsible for the normal functions of the ovaries, so that means no periods. I have only known of a few women who got their periods back within the first few months. Most who are breastfeeding don't have periods for some time (or until they stop breastfeeding). It is normal and expected (it's also okay to get it back sooner; everyone's different).
