How long did it take for your period to come back while breastfeeding?
My daughter is now 6 months old, I exclusively breastfed, and have just started introducing foods this week. I still haven't gotten my period (which I havent expected yet considering how much she feeds, and how much blood loss i had after labour), just wanted to hear from other women who breastfed, how long did it take for your cycles to come back? I'm looking towards trying for another baby in the fall, but am now starting to doubt I'll be ovulating by then!

It was 15 months for me. Most breastfeeding mothers resume menstruating somewhere between 6 and 12 months postpartum, although some get periods right away and some don't have periods until after they've fully weaned. There's really a very wide range of "normal", and there's no telling what *your* body will do.

I got one period the month after giving birth, then 2 months without and then I had another one after getting the copper IUD. But haven't one this month.
