Icon5 ? If you remember

Hi Ladies!
I was wondering if you remember how long it took for AF to return after delivery. My son is 16 weeks old (3 1/2 months). I was breastfeeding up until two weeks ago but I had been nursing only twice a day and supplementing with formula. With my dd AF returned at 10 weeks, but I wasn't breastfeeding that long. Thanks for your help!

We nursed for about 9 months, and AF returned about a month after I stopped nursing.

Thanks Ladies! I keep feeling like "she" is ready to show up...what a switch...actually wanting AF to be here!
Kara, Jimmy is doing great! Thanks for asking. He's growing and thriving. Everytime I hold him, I feel like I found the missing piece of our family.
Take care!

My memory is a bit cloudy....but it showed up at around 7 months after delivery. I had been breast feeding Mason exclusively, but noticed my milk wasn't quite as plentiful. I was back at work and trying to pump... Started doing some formula supplimenting, and good ole AF showed up again. Have to say I was hoping never to see her again... I loved those 16 AF-free months!

Enjoy your family Val!! And yes please....post some pics

Mine returned after about 10 wks, but I didn't breastfeed at all (well, I tried for 3 days, but he just screamed and screamed if he didn't get a bottle, so I gave up )
