 Topic: AF returning ??? (TMI?)
Posted: 21 March 2008 at 3:10pm |
Hi - just want to know, do you think I should have AF back by now, or is it normal not to. I'm down to one BF now first thing in the morning (for a week or 2, was 2 BFs before that), and he has had one side late evening a few times .. plus two x formula. He has slept thru most nights since 12 weeks (waking when teething / sick and just before starting solids), but I was expressing for a dreamfeed for a while at 9-10pm. Since 6 months I've done one formula as his last feed at 6.45pm and no expressing / dreamfeed.
Do you think AF hasn't returned cos I'm still doing 1-2 BFs? Hes almost 9 months now so I would expect it to be back ..... what do you think? When did yours come back if you were still partially FBing til this age?
I'm not ttc yet (definitely not pg either!!), but would like to start later in the year maybe .... so although I haven't missed it, I'd like it back at some point! haha

I would enjoy the break while it lasts (I don't mean to be insensitive by saying that  )!
Everyone is different and it varies from woman to woman but if it's not back soon and you are worried then maybe see your GP...?

I stopped breastfeeding at night and only BF in the day and mine returned when Luke as 9 months old. I thought it would never come back but it does. Enjoy the break while you have it

Absolutely enjoy the break!
I got AF back 6 weeks after giving birth.
Everyone is different, as it's been said.
Are you taking any form of oral contraception? I got AF back a week after starting it...

Sounds like its normal, thanks guys. Yeah, I am enjoying the break ... but if we do want to start ttc later in the year it does need to be back before then!
