When did your period return?

I’m 5 and a half weeks post birth and my period came back yesterday. I’m breast feeding but also topping up with formula. I also started back on the pill last week. Anyone else start back so soon? Is it because I started the pill? I was hoping it would be a longer time period free!!

I was 9 months, I didn’t go on any birth control and exclusively breastfed x

I will be 11 weeks pp on Thursday and I’ve just started bleeding today. I was waiting for my first period before I went back on the mini pill x

I ebf and it came back after 8 weeks 😢

I normally don't have periods without medical help due to severe PCOS but had the most regular periods of my life while breastfeeding starting around 6 weeks postpartum. I wasn't on birth control. I would be interested to see actual statistics on how many people's periods were delayed due to breastfeeding because it doesn't seem like it is as large of a percent as society made me think.

7 months pp. I ebf xx

I went a month-month 1/2 without a period and I ebf. Also have PCOS but my periods have always been on time and extremely heavy.

I was 8 weeks nearly 9 weeks after birth x
