Finally got my period back!

Posting this for anyone that is in the same boat I was a month ago. I’m 16 months PP and have just got my period back! I want to try for baby number 2 towards the end of this year so really want to start getting my cycle back. My daughter was breastfeeding up until last month when I finally weaned her in the night. And now a month later I’ve got mine back. Just wanted to reassure any of the ladies still waiting for theirs who are BF it can take some time and everybody is different.

Thank you for taking the time to post this, very reassuring 🥺💕

Mine also only came back a month after I stopped breastfeeding (at 14 months) x

@Monika I’m glad, I saw so many people getting there’s back so quickly! But it all takes time

@Leanne I thought it would have taken longer after stopping!

Dropped breastfeeding during the day 8 weeks ago. My Period came back on Sunday.

Are you still breastfeeding at all? I've night weaned my son but still feeding 1-2 times a day (usually morning and evening, or just evening some days). I really thought I'd have it back by now but I'm wondering if I need to fully stop to get it back. I also want to try for a 2nd towards the end of this year so need to try and get it back in the next few months really.

@Kirsty I got mine back 13 months PP with both children. One was still night feeding, this one is still feeding 3-5 times a day depending on if I’m at work or not. Bodies all react differently - mine clearly works on a timer. I’ve known people who managed to get pregnant without even getting a single period back (clearly caught their first ovulation well!).
