| 7 months and 8 months. EBF, but started pumping at 4 and 6 months when I went back to work so could be related to that or starting solid foods. Breastfed to 2 years old with both. |

After difficult vaginal birth and needy baby, DH did not take off work - 6 months
After failed induction, uneventful C section, easier baby, DH took time off - 6 weeks |

| 12 months with first baby, 6 with second. Both breastfed past 2! |

Yeah, I don't know why they recommend EBF as a form of BC for 6 months. Even if it takes 6 months to come back, you can ovulate before you bleed. |

| About a year. I was taking the mini pill but I started getting breakthrough bleeding at a year that didn’t quit until I weaned and went back on the regular pill. |

Between 12 and 13 months postpartum both times.
(I stopped breastfeeding at 18 months for one and 14 months fir the other so it wasn’t related.) |

22 months. I had one period and then got pregnant after 6 weeks after that (I knew the conception date as sex was VERY infrequent  ).
My milk dried up a few months into my pregnancy. My toddler / preschooler never showed any interest in it again. Not even when I was breastfeeding her baby brother. |

| 8 months both times, right when I started dropping a pump or two during the day (kids slept through the night already) |
