mine came back at 2 months, i felt so ripped off!
its normal not to have your period for months after birth if you are breastfeeding 5+ times a day. (according to my handy pregnancy and birth bible, lol) not a reliable form of contraception tho, as you can ovulate before your period actually returns.

Hey, mine came back at exactly 6 mths later. Thought that if you fully breastfeed, you don't get it!!!!
I wouldn't panic just yet, enjoy it while you can. Mine are now heavier but only last 3 days.

I didn't get mine until around 6 months (I think)
Anyway, I'd say do a pregnancy test if you haven't been using protection. You don't want to do a Liz

I'd make the most of it if I were you! I was so disappointed when I got mine back
You may find when it does come back that it is completely different to pre-pregnancy as well. Mine is heaps lighter and shorter

Mine still hasn't come back and Jacob is almost 9 months. I do test randomly, though, just to be sure my name isn't LIZ.

I didn't get mine back until 11 months.
We were trying TTC #2 so I did a test once a month to check.

I just got mine last week, and in a way I was excited because it kind of made me feel normal again. But did also feel ripped off because now I actually have to worry about it. My plunket nurse said the other day not to be worried if i don't have another one for the next couple of months because they can start out abit irregular.

I got mine back after I stopped breastfeeding, I stopped when Ella was about 13.5 months, got it back a month or two later (can't remember that far back). But some people are lucky like me and don't get it back for a while.. you might be one of them!
