People are telling you about situations where it returned before they weaned in case you were unaware how common this is.

- person whose period returned 9 months postpartum, 4 months before weaning

Op- I guess my question was confusing? If your period returned after you weaned, how long after? If it returned before that situation doesn't really apply to me.

OP here- I'm laughing a bit. I'm asking about when your period returned after weaning. This doesn't apply to you! Or may other responses. Sheesh.

6 weeks after both vaginal deliveries, even though I was EBF for over a year.

EBF for both

OP it sounds like it might be time for you to talk to your doctor (and/or take a pregnancy test)


What does this have to do with OP's question?

Four months after birth even though I was exclusively breastfeeding. I'm still cranky about that.

4 kids, and it always came back many months before I weaned.

1 month after no longer pumping at work. Still fed DD in the morning for another 3 months, though by the end not sure how much milk she was really getting.

I don't remember exactly, but I believe it was between 3 and 6 weeks, so fairly quickly.

It returned well before I weaned. About 3 months post-partum both times, when I weaned at 6months and 2.5 years.

One month almost to the day, both times. After my first pregnancy, it returned and was very regular (I have PCOS and had never had regular cycles in my life). It is more irregular now after my 2nd delivery,.
