Is this what you want?
1. He was 8months when I found out 2. I was feeding every 2hours night and day. Sometimes he would go 3hours (reflux baby) 3. AF returned at 8weeks (I don't get a break lol) 4. Here's where it gets really interesting, No. I was on the mini pill and taking it correctly AND breastfeeding all the time. But there you go. Kiara is my baby girl who just wanted to be here. Both our children are a huge blessing to us. Although I will say that I really hope the IUD works for us

Yep thank you 
Good to know it can still happen when feeding more frequently then 4 hrly (which is what I've heard). Congrats on your little girl! Hope your IUD works angel4. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

1. 9 months
2. She was down to 5 per day then 3. Twice, but really far apart so I had no idea what was going on! 4. Yes, and lil B was conceived the first month 
I think there's a few mummies with me in the due July thread who were still bfing and much more regularly than I was

. 1) How old was your baby? about 9 months old 2) Roughly how often were you feeding? approx 3-4 per day, sometimes overnight once 3) Had AF returned? yes, I think I'd had about 3-4 AF's, although not very regular! 4) Were you TTC? Not actively trying, but also not preventing IYKWIM? This bubba is the result of one of our first date nights outs and a real oncer lol  I had also taken the mini pill for part of the month before I got cold feet about it and have had abdominal surgery about a month ago so this wee bub was also determined to be here! -------------   http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

1) 12 months old when I found out I was 7wks pregnant.
2) By then I was only feeding her once a day. But it would've been at least twice a day at the time I fell pg. 3) Once! So I fell pg first cycle much to my surprise! 4) Yes and no - we were keen to fall pg again but the day before I found out I was pg I'd told DH that we really should start actively trying cuz we'd hardly prioritised it lol! Hope that helps :-) -------------

1) she was 11months when I got pregnant.
2) 5-6 times in the day 3-4 at night 3) No. 4) No! I was on the mini pill, still breastfeeding, hadn't had an AF... getting pregnant was certainly a bit of a shock, but a welcome one! lol I had wanted another baby at some point but DH was fairly firm that we wouldn't be having another. This wee bean decided in my favour obviously
Good luck ------------- ~Cassie~

You know my story but for the record:
1) How old was your baby? Would have been 15 months 2) Roughly how often were you feeding?/How many feeds a day? We were down to 3-4 feeds a day 3) Had AF returned? Yes, but only just - I'd had it back a couple of times and it hadn't settled down yet (AF came back when I went on my second practicum and cut out feeds during the day for 7 weeks) 4) Were you TTC? Nope, this baby is approximately 6 months earlier than the original plan called for, but has all worked out pretty perfectly -------------
