Pregnancy Info HOME

well i had my first cycle after 7 months and now im preggo again. i had 1 period and that's was it. i just heard that you can be very fertile after breastfeeding.

Your cycle might take a while to regulate but now it has returned you should be highly fertile, so goodluck & I'm sure it won't take long to get pregnant again.

I didn't get my period back until my son was 18 months! ( I nursed a long time). When I got it though, it came like clockwork every 28-34 days!

My period was predictible before I had my daughter, but went nuts after she was born. I didn't get my period until about 6 months after I stopped breastfeeding her and now it comes every 40-45 days. ugh. It only lasts about 3 days for me, too...which is a nice trade-off. lol. I think everyone is a bit different.

Wow, you guys were lucky. I was back on schedule withing two months of each birth dispite the fact that I was breastfeeding.

Yeah same here! I EBF and low and behold 6 weeks later AF has returned with a vengeance every 28 - 32 days! I thought I wasnt going to get a period... boy was I wrong!

After my first baby ( breastfed for 18 months ) i got my first period at about 9 months and it lasted a whole month and It didnt come back until month 11. Then they were pretty regular but long. and I got pregnant at 14 months postpartum. Now with this baby I just had my first period. I am 12 months postpartum. and it was very light. So i am hoping that it will regulate because we want to TTC #3 again.
