    Anyone had their period come back while breastfeeding twins?

    I got it back when the twins were 6-7 months old - breastfed until they were 9 months.

    Same with this baby - he was barely eating any solids yet and I still got it back when he was 6 months.

    Mine stayed away for 14 months!!
    I was doing a slow wean that was complete at 15 months. I didn't exclusivesly bf either. I think every body is different and you are better off going by your mother's or any sisters' experiences than strangers, it's more likely to be like your own.

    I swear I have the record.. ready.. 27 glorious months!!! The only benefit of having it back is my libido has increased a bit.

    3 months. :(
    And they are still eating 9 times a day!!!! No formula, no bottles, just me and it STILL came back.

    Here's the big irony: I have PCOS and never once while TTC did I ever have a natural period. I would pray and pray to ovulate and get periods. Now that I could NOT care less, it comes back!

    9 1/2 months with twins, although not EBF. 10 months with DD1 who was EBF. I kind of think it doesn't matter whether it's twins or a singleton, but who knows?

    I never missed. I also don't ovulate without help and have only one ovary ( so I should only every other month.) but I still have it every month. I was so looking forward to none for a while, but even ebf twins didn't help.
