Getting AF back after total weaning - any experiences with how long?
Instead of being miserable about DD possibly self-weaning (although I've had
a few good cries today - I am not ready for this to be over), I thought I'd try and be postitive, and hope that I'll get AF back. Has anyone any experience with how long it took to get AF back after finishing nursing? I know it is a YMMV thing, but I'm just after peoples experiences. And the other positive is that I might be able to give blood again - here they don't let you give till 3 months after stopping BF - how dumb is that? Cathy |

Getting AF back after total weaning - any experiences with how long?
I got Af back straight away while breastfeeding number 1 every 28 days, but
I think that was because I didn't breastfeed till he was 5 days old. With the others Af was back within a few weeks of breastfeeding finishing. Good luck! Andrea mom of 5.

I wanted to conceive as soon as I could. That was my reason for wanting AF to return. So my reply is based on my experience. AF returned Postpartum but that was mainly anovulatory bleeding. When I completely weaned DD, I had AF but very irregularly. the cycles were 35, 20 and 43 days IIRC. So I just started using OPK sticks to see if I'm ovulating at all! I conceived again without ever getting AF back on regular cycle. Don't know if that helps. |

I wanted to conceive as soon as I could. That was my reason for wanting AF to return. So my reply is based on my experience. That is why! DD is 14 months, and in my little perfect plan, we were going to start trying at 12 months. Of course, then I assumed I would have AF back at about 8 months. I have had no bleeding whatsoever since the cessation of lochia. I have started have some sort of 'cycles' in the last couple of months - mucus changes, and obvious hormone changes, as I have been teary, or grumpy, or both! AF returned Postpartum but that was mainly anovulatory bleeding. When I completely weaned DD, I had AF but very irregularly. the cycles were 35, 20 and 43 days IIRC. So I just started using OPK sticks to see if I'm ovulating at all! I conceived again without ever getting AF back on regular cycle. Don't know if that helps. It does sort of help, thanks. Cathy |

With my first dd I got my first AF 30 days after weaning, and regularly after that.
