Did your period return at the same time for each baby?

Just curious. My period returned at 8.5 months with DS and DD is now 8 months old. I'm wondering whether I might see AF soon...........

Baby #1 - returned at 6 months Baby #2 - returned at 9 months Baby #3 - returned at 9 months Baby #4 - still no AF (almost 14 months old). My AF came about a month or so after weaning.

AF would have arrived when DD1 was 6-7 months old, but I fell pregnant that first time I ovulated so it obviously didn't show up. With DD2 AF returned when she was 7-8 months old, so around a similar time for me

No, they were all different. With DD1 it was around 7 mths. With DS it was 6 wks, coincided with him starting to sleep through & he was a terribly lazy breastfeeder anyway (although I persevered until 12 mths). With DD2 I can't actually remember but it was months rather than weeks.

Roughly the same. Maybe slightly earlier with the second so 16 months with #1 and 14 months with #2.

Bikingbubs - poor thing! I thought I was ripped off when mine came after about 10 weeks with DD1! Really hoping it's not the same this time!
