My LO just turned one on Sunday. I am still breastfeeding and I haven't started my period yet. I was just wondering if anyone else hasn't started and it's been this long? Sometimes my mood is like I have started but without you know what. It's been SO LONG!!! LOL!
I stopped BFing at 6 months (not by choice) and switched back to a 2 hormone BC pill a month later. I got my first period when my daughter was 8 months and let me tell you...it was like I was giving birth all over again. Not to freak anyone out, but the cramps were like the nightmare pain of labor. Okay, maybe I'm over exaggerating, but seriously all I could think of was omg I'm in labor again. It was just a cruel reminder of what happened the last time my body bled!
i just got my first one and LET ME TELL YOU GIRL it f*cking sucks haha. the first 2 days i was no joke, in bed all day. i felt so sick i wanted to die. my cramps were out to get me. i hated being pregnant with a passion but oh man was it awesome not having a period.

It's not just the first one... It takes about a year for them to regulate back to "normal"... I had AF back and consistent/normal for times, but basically had to write off three days at the start of each bleep'n one because of the flood gates, then suddenly, she stopped.. Now I'm sitting here in a holding pattern with BFN's and almost 3 weeks late and having PG symptoms (had to go back into my nursing bras ARGH!)...
I stopped b-feeding when my son was 7 months (not by choice). I went on a regular bc pill when he was 9 months, now its a month later and I should have gotten my period last week but nothing? I took 3 pregnancy tests all negative. Should I call doc just be sure?

I would call the doc just to ask if it was normal. Let us know what they say. Good luck!
Re: Has anyone else not start their period yet??? It's been FOREVER!
Me too! I'm thinking since I haven't in so long that it's going to be terrible and hurt bad! LOL!

Not here! Not that I'm complaining...
DS is 11 months old and I still BF.
I'm still waiting too.
