I didn't but I didn't take it for very long (I had medicaid but then got kicked off it). Chloe's 9 mos and I still haven't gotten it back.

I took it while nursing when my daughter was a baby, for maybe 3 months, and I didn't get my period back. I quit taking it long before I got my period back (17 months postpartum). If your baby's still nursing a lot you won't be ovulating, but it's important to be using birth control anyways, because you can't tell exactley when you're going to *start* ovulating again.

Ack sorry, short answer: no, you *probabley* won't get your period back when you start taking the pill.
