How common is it to ovulate again while breastfeeding?

I would love another baby and to be pregnant again, but I have a 6 week old and am breastfeeding. How long did it take all you breastfeeding mothers to get your periods back?

I got my 1st period with my 3rd at 2 weeks pp then it went mia for 6 months then came back like clock work got pregnant at 9mpp after 3 full cycles my 4th is now 3 months (just to add i was still breastfeeding and continued throughout my pregnancy)

You can ovulate without a period and still get pregnant breastfeeding but it can sometimes take up to a year to regulate all your hormones speaking from experience

My periods didn’t come back until I completely stopped breastfeeding at 10months. I’m now TTC at 14months and my periods/ ovulation are irregular. But everyone is different! X

I didn’t get my period on my second until we started trying out solid food at 6mons! But it was super irregular, I was getting it every 2mons if that. We got pregnant with our 3rd when baby was 9mons old 😃. Hoping to get pregnant with our 4th and last in about 4mons 🙏🏽

Didn’t get my period until 14 m pp. I think it depends on a person and how often you are bf

Right before 6m exclusively breastfeeding
