when did you start your period, while breastfeeding.

I'm just curious. i breast fed my daughter for 14 mos. i didn't start until 12 mos. Now  I'm BFing my son he's 9 mos. I haven't started yet. Does anyone feel pms'y with no period? i do sometimes.

My son is 16.5 months and she JUST showed up 2 days ago

Eta: I swore I was either pregnant or about to stary several times the last 3-4 months

Mine just showed up too. Sunday. We made it to 11.5 months postpartum. I was hoping it would be longer since she nurses a lot still.

Quoting comptonkids:

nice, its just another perk of bfing

I got the short end of the stick. AF showed up 2 months postpartum with both kids. My body could care less if I EBF.

wow you lucky! lol When I breastfeed my period showed up really fast. After I stopped bleeding after birth I had my regular period a few weeks later again.

10 freaking weeks... thats it. with all my babes. And with this last one I had PP bleeding for 8 weeks. 

I would love to experience this "perk" at some point ;-)

15-16 months all 3 times.
And yes, definitely random symptoms at times long before the real return.

Mine returned twelve months post partum with all four.

Even though I'm EBF, my period started back around 9 weeks pp. My pp bleeding had only recently totally stopped and then I got my period! Sigh. Same thing happened to my mom though. So maybe that's just what our bodies do.
