	Three data points:

	My daughter started getting formula at 6 weeks old, when I went back
to work for 6 hours a day.  Nonetheless, we continued to nurse whenever
possible, and I didn't get my period back for a full year.

	Two different friends who nursed exclusively got became fertile again
quickly - one at 6 weeks, the other at 12 weeks.
