I got af back at about 7 weeks, it lasted 2 weeks and I haven't seen it for about 5 weeks!

Before getting pregnant I had a regular, very regular down to the day and hour, cycle. 28 days, 1 whole week AF, 3 weeks nothing. ]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 14:06:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1048368&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1048368 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1048276&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1048276 Author: mummyofprinces

Nope Chelle, my LP was great.. when I actually ovulated

Short LP is normal and common when bf, which by the way I still was bf when I fell pg (about 5 per day).

The cycle I conceived (cycle 4) I didnt ovulate until CD58 and had gone back on vitex and B6 to help even out the hormones.. I am guessing it worked The first 3 were 40 days with ov on CD32!

Pre Jake ov was CD18-CD25 with a 12 day LP]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 13:12:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1048276&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1048276 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1048234&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1048234 Author: Nutella

I am fully breastfeeding with no solids yet and still waking at night for feeds and my AF came back...felt a bit ripped off.
The first cycle was normal but since then a bit random.]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 12:41:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1048234&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1048234 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1048196&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1048196 Author: tiptoes

Hey mel, was your luteal phase short before? I'm guessing after those 3 it sorted itself out since you're preggers?

I just had my first AF so 6 months later and 2 1/2 months after stopping breastfeeding and I had an 8 day LP, when I first started charting that's what it was too and it gradually lengthened with herbs/vitamins/acupuncture so I was a bit bummed that I was back to the beginning (not that we're thinking of trying just yet) so fingers crossed it's just a few mixed up cycles like you.

Lily - I think if you're still pretty much fully BF (even with solids) your AF is more likely to be a bit delayed. For about 3 or 4 weeks before mine turned up I had heaps and heaps of EWCM everyday and purely by coincidence I did an OPK and it was the day I must have ovulated as I got really bad cramps that night and then the EWCM stopped and a week later AF turned up so look out for the EWCM if you're wanting to concieve - though that's only my experience.

Everyone is different as you can see from the above posts.. mine came back at 15 weeks exactly and the first 3 were regular BUT even though I WAS ovulating my Luteal Phase was only 7 days so even if I did conceive it wasnt long enough for a baby to properly implant before I started bleeding.

Some women click right back into their old cyle while others it can take a couple of years before everything is back to normal....]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 08:34:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1047834&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1047834 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1047795&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1047795 Author: BriAndOlisMum

I've only just got AF back now and DS was 14 months yesterday, he was BF until nearly 13 months. I have also just changed pills so that may be part of the reason why.]]> Sun, 30 May 2010 21:36:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1047679&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1047679 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1047639&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1047639 Author: Babykatnz

Jae was born mid-June, I stopped expressing (by then it was the equivalent of one full feed per day, I was a terrible cow!) at 4.5 months old and AF showed in full force 4 days later, and has been mor or less regular ever since]]> Sun, 30 May 2010 21:16:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1047639&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1047639 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33750&PID=1047595&title=when-do-periods-start-again-after-a-baby#1047595 Author: TheKelly
