10 weeks post.... I wouldn't mind stretching alot longer but the bigger my roots get the thinner my ends look and the more I want to shave my head. 
I'm not experiencing alot of breakage at all.... just some normal shedding. weekly henna glosses, castor oil, and my glycerin mix (20-30% glycerin and the rest water. I spray it on my ends and on my new growth.) is working pretty good.
If I'm still good in a few weeks I'll try to stretch until the end of March.... that way my next relaxer could be in June. I'm thinking relaxing every 3 months out of the year would be great (and cheaper since I'm broke lol.)

I am at 7 weeks post right now. I want to see if I can make it until sometime in March (maybe 12 to 14 weeks). I have never gone past 9 weeks, but for some reason I dont see any point in relaxing anytime soon so I am going to try to stretch.

Currently 11 weeks post, and let's just say I won't be relaxing until further notice. I have no intention of going natural, but until I have gathered enough research and have a definitive plan for relaxing (brand, reconstructor, regimen etc.) I'm letting the naps loose. I'm probably going to wind up on a 6 month stretch around (28 week). Just in time for swingin summer hair!

The last time I relaxed was December 4th. I don't really know how many weeks I am. I'm trying to stretch for 12 weeks and I could never make it because I was always stalking the weeks and would give in around 10 weeks but my ng is mad crazy yet still manageable so I'll just wait and let my hair determine when and not the weeks for a change. I'm trying to make it to bs and I hope I'm there when I relax
ETA: Ow, ****, now I'm going upstairs to look on the calendar and see how many weeks I am
I was at walgreens the other day and I almost bought a relaxer then I said nope because if I had bought it. It would be in my hair by now
