Breastfeeding and Menstration

[SamHolt]

Hi there,
I would really like to know if it is normal to not have started menstrating after 11 months of breastfeeding.
My baby who is now 11 months old seemed to wean himself, he had a cold and was very congested, blocked nose etc, so he wasn't able to suck as he could not breathe. He would just cry each time I tried to put him on the breast - so I reverted to formula feeding. I had planned to wean him by 1 year so that we could start trying for anther baby, so the timing worked out okay and he is doing well, I am missing the breastfeeding relationship but am looking forward to falling pregnant again.
I would like to know when I should expect my period to return?
Thank you in advance.

It varies from person to person. If you have weaned your baby I would expect AF to return in a month or two. Many people ovulate before having a period so it is possible to get pregnant again w/out having a period. I did. :)

No more breastfeeding should result in rapid return to ovulation. Good luck getting pregnant!
