Noah is now offically weaned (7 months old).     He finally quit biting me (as much), but he lost interest in nursing.   And honestly so had I, so I didn't insist that he continue to nurse.

I've not had a period since the post parturm bleeding left.     I never thought I would say this, but I'm ready for my period to come back!   I don't like have the hormones of a menopausal women.  My husband really doesn't like it lol.

I breastfed Hannah for 11 months, but I had a period almost the entire time.  

So if you didn't have a period while breastfeeding, how soon did it come back after you stopped?

I'll try to post some pictures of the kiddos soon.

I got mine when Bella was 3 month. Then again at 6 month and at 7 months. Last month I bleed for a month. So they are still crazy. I still BF Bella 5-6 times a day. The Dr said until I am done BFing anything is game when it comes to my period. I would say give it a month and then ask your Dr about it. If you want it back I'm sure there are things to give you to get it back.

I nursed the first baby for exactly one year, period didnt return for almost 6 months after that.  2nd nursed for 10 months, period returned 4 months after.  I know what you  mean about the hormones though!!  It's really variable when menses returns.  Good luck to you!
