I was lucky got mine back at 15.5 months.  DH and I were TTC so I cut back to two nursing sessions a day and that finally pushed me over the edge.

DS is 17 months, we've been down to 2 nursing sessions a day since 12 months, and still no period. I had to go to the dr. last month and it was funny to write down my last menstrual period as Sept 2010.

I voted not back yet, but the actual answer is Wednesday night, haha. So 13 mo for me. I was wondering when it would come back. We're still BFing, but just 3 15 min sessions a day.

I was surprised how emotional I was when it happened. Not just because it's such a PITA, but it was like my body was realizing that my LO wasn't so little anymore. Plus, I've heard of ppl's supply taking a hit once AF returned. But, on the plus side, that opens up the discussion of TTC no. 2...

When my LO started STTN. I believe there is some relationship when you go for longer hours in between feedings to when AF will return.

Nope - no AF since March 2008 (I caught the first pp egg after Callum).  I didn't ovulate until I night weaned the first time and haven't night weaned E yet.

I got mine back around 6 months, even though I was ebfing as well as night nursing (not by choice, Dd is a really crappy sleeper). Boo. The only good part is that it came back to a perfect cycle, so at least I know when its coming.

With DD1 I EP until she was 1, I got my period back a month later.  With DD2 I BF until she was 11 months, then pumped until she was 1.  I literally got my period 2 days after stopping.  Totally wasn't expecting that!

Unfortunately, at 3 months PP despite EBF, continued night feedings until 15 months, etc.  :( I was so bummed.

Mine came back at 4 months PP, even though we've been breastfeeding all along and still am at 17 months! I wish I could have had some more time without it! I think mine came back so early because I returned to work full-time after 4 months and was pumping rather than feeding from "the tap" during the days. DD was still nursing during the night up until 11 months, too! Oh well. :)

Three days ago (so almost 15 months).  She still eats twice daily and at least 1-2 times during the night.

Nine weeks PP with DD, seven with DS.  Stupid AF.  Angry  And yes, I EBFed both of them, and no, they did not STTN early (or ever, in the case of DS, who is still nursing).  I was never even that regular before I had kids, except on BC; I have clockwork cycles now.

DD born 10/10/07 * DS born 11/25/11

I'm one of the unlucky ones. With DD1 I got it back at a little over 2 months PP even though I was EBF every 2 hours night and day, bedsharing, etc. With DD2 I got it back at 5 WEEKS postpartum even though I was EBFing/bedsharing and I was even tandem nursing!

I got mine at 13.5 months. It was about a couple of weeks after I dropped all pumping sessions and was down to just BF'ing morning and night.

I voted "not yet" because you didn't have any options for after 12 months.  It was around 16mo, IIRC.

The week before DD's 1st birthday.  It was not welcome!

But I did take a bit of hit in supply and bf hurt like it hadn't in awhile.  I guess it was ok because I'm trying to pump wean during the work week.

 DD was still being night nursed too!
