How Long Does It Take To Get Your Period After You Stop Breastfeeding?

I’m sure I’m crazy, but I’m worried about being pregnant. I stopped breastfeeding more than a month ago and have been through two placebo cycles on my low-dose birth control pill with no period. I’ve been tired and hungry lately (sound familiar) but am pretty sure that I shouldn’t be pregnant. On average, for those who did breastfeed initially (I did for six months) how long did it take for your period to come back?
I got it back very soon…next month. A friend of mine didn’t get it for almost a year. She needed to see her doctor for that. It all depends…maybe also on how regular you were before pregnancy. Do take your pills as soon as you stop brestfeeding (or any birth control method) if you don’t want another pregnancy!
