Mine haven't come back yet and my LO is 6 1/2 months
It's not true about not getting pregnant whilst pregnant... I am proof of that lol
My periods started when my son was 2.5 mths old, he has been breastfed from birth, and they were 28 day cycles just like before I got pregnant.
We started trying for another baby and fell pregnant within 6 weeks of trying, and I'm still BFing my son atm!
Not sure about contraception because I never went back on any and am hoping after this pregnancy that OH will have a vasectomy, if not I may get sterilised instead!

LOL well thats great that you didn't have any problems getting pregnant again, I guess it stops some ladies going back to a normal cycle and not others.
Good luck with the pregnancy, you are very brave having 2 LOs very close together. Not sure I could do all these sleepless nights all over again quite so quickly lol xx

I know, I think we must be a bit mental lol We did it because of an age thing, I will be 35 in January and didn't really want to be pregnant again much after that, but it will be nice to have 2 close in age too.
And also, we're getting it over and done quickly lol, so while we're having sleepless nights etc we're used to it rather than get used to sleep and free time agian then go back into it...
That's what we're telling ourselves anyway lol
Glad you asked this as I was wondering the same thing. Was hoping periods would take a while to return and bf would be a good enough contraception, oh well wishful thinking! I want a small age gap too as I'm getting old so won't be leaving it too long!
I was lucky mine held off until LO was over 8 months old
The hormones you produce during bfing are supposed to hold off ovulation but its no guarantee so always safest to use something!
