How Long Does It Take After Breastfeeding For Milk To Dry Up?

Hi, I just finished breastfeeding my daughter after one year. I had gradually cut her down to one feeding a day so I haven’t been making a lot of milk for a while. I previously breastfed my son a year but found out I was pregnant with my daughter a week after his first birthday and I never completely dried up. I think that happened because I was pregnant again. I am wondering if anyone else has went through this before and can tell me if their milk dried up completely at some point and time. I am 25 and it’s been 5 days since she last nursed. I haven’t experienced any fullness or pain. But if I put pressure on my breasts I will notice some milk still coming out. (I was pregnant with my son 9 months, breastfed a year, and found out I was a month along at his first birthday and was pregnant with my daughter 8 months and breastfed her a year.) Thanks for your help.

How Long Did It Take For Your Period To Return After You Stopped Breastfeeding? Did It Return To Normal?

I stopped breastfeeding my 13 month old in mid January and was waiting for my period to start. 8 weeks later I had some very light bleeding/spotting for two days. I got nervous and thought maybe implantation bleeding since I had never had a period so light or short before. I had heavy normal periods after my first son was born. I just finished my first pack of pills and today started a little bit of light bleeding but not enough for more than a panty liner. It is just so odd to me because I always used to be such a heavy bleeder, bleeding through super tampons every couple hours. I’m just wondering if someone else has experienced the same and if this is normal? Most women I know got their periods back about 4 weeks after they stopped breastfeeding and the flow was heavier than normal.
