How old is your DC and how many times a day are you nursing? Is your dc nightweaned?
Kenna is 6 months on the march 28th and not nightweaned completely yet. I am breaking out and having cramping and what seems like some maybe signs that my body will O soon. I have caught the first egg once, when Kayla was 7 months old, I got preggo. ppaf usually returns 7-8 months for me. We started solids 2X a day about 1 week ago and she is sleeping better through the night. I am suddenly really feeling ready to be pg again.

I can hardly believe that I've already gotten AF back, since she was 2 months old, and I'm still exclusively breastfeeding. I hope your body is getting itself ready!

But I'm a princess daddy!
I think I answered this on the welcome thread, but this seems the place to put it. My LO is 9 mo old and is nursing 5-6 times a day, depending on the day. I thought he might be night weaned (he sttn for a whole week!) but he's woken up hungry the last two nights. Ah, well.
I got mine back last month (lo was 6 months at the time)
and now im still waiting to o this month.
He has solids three times a day and sometimes sleeps through the night, sumtimes doenst. He still nurses every two hours approximately during the day, but not for very long anymore.

ds is 7 1/2 mos old, eating solids and still nurses every 3 hrs round the clock though after the second bottom tooth finally broke thru he's down to only waking up to 1-2 times a night again thank goodness. (ive recently upped his snacks and increased his his every 3 hrs to every 4 hrs between nursings) he eats supper w/us and snacks w/the kids @ lunch. so far, solids hadn't made an impact though I've been so busy lately that his nursing times increased to the 4 hour and he was fine, playing having a baby snack etc. between that and vitex, I'm getting my groove back and seeing some ewcf
my ppaf's have varied, first one odd annov bleeding from 3mos pp but took her weaning herself at 19 mos for a true complet cycle to happen a few months later. and w/in 8 mos of that, cycles were better and got bfp, course a few of those cycles were tta. (dd was also sleeping thru the nite @ 2mos and eating solids @ 6mos)
next I got ppaf w/in a month of lochia stopping again and by 5 mos had regular cycles going or af showed up anway like clockwork by then and from then o. 10 1/2 mos later, bfp. (ds at some point as an infant started to only get up once a nite probably around 6 mos, didn't want solids til about 9+mos)
last time ppaf showed up, was about 8-9 mos pp and didn't start oing though af was showing up til 2 cycles later and it was about a year later when got the bfp. like his brother wasn't too interested in solids most if not all of the first year, and got up at least once a nite by six mos til almost a yr 1/2 later.
this pp time frame has been a mixture of the first pp and the last. annov spot/bleeding just about as frequent too and not oing yet that i can see and we are creeping up on 8 mos in a couple weeks. i've been taking vitex and that seems to help the imbalance I've got going on. I've been seeing signs of possible O for months but it hasn't reached that threshhold yet. I've been seeing some very good signes of ewcf lately.
I'd upload my chart but I haven't figured out how to do that here yet.
I am waiting for ppaf. Jake is 4 months, born on 11/17. He nurses about every 2-3 hours during the day and sometimes will do 4 or 5 hour stretches at night. One night he went about 6 hours!! Last night he wanted to eat every few hours before bed, though. We have not started solids and will not start until he is at least 6 months!!
still waiting for AF here. My LO is just over 6 months and nursing about every 3 hours, and at least once per night. He does the occasional night sleeping through, but not regularly yet. Solids haven't seemed to make a difference, although we're only on solids once per day, and he doesn't eat tons yet. I've tried introducing a second solids, but he hasn't gone for it yet... I just recently started charting and my numbers so far have been all over the place, so I'm not expecting AF anytime soon.
Boy, am I the odd one. J is almost 18 months and still no PPAF. Of course, we co-sleep and still no STTN completely either. Sigh. TTC is hard w/o AF. I never thought I'd look for her. LOL
I've never gone longer than 7 months and four months the last two pregnancies despite nursing on demand, not sttn, delaying solids, etc. And then my lp's tend to be short, at least they were w/ 1 and 3. I hope you have an easy time!

I sort of got PPAF when DS was 9 months (barely more than spotting), but the next AF wasn't for over 2 months, and 10 "cycles" later I am still not Oing (though I had more "normal" flow this cycle than the past few). DS is now 17 months and usually STTN. He eats PLENTY of solids and drinks water, juice, and rice milk. He still nurses quite a bit too, but not a huge volume anymore. More just loving on "the girls." hehehe
