2nd PP Period late?

ashleyb1114

Hey ladies, My dd was born Mar 15 and i bfed for just over 8 months. I had my 1st PP period Dec 15 and before I had dd, my periods would come every 28 days. This means that I should have gotten my period yesterday,  but according to multiple pregnancy tests, I am not pregnant. Is it normal for periods to be irregular now?

I like to be able to plan these things, so I find this quite annoying!

If you are still BFing regularly, then yes, periods can be irregular and cycles can be much longer than before. Ovulation can be delayed and/or your luteal phase (the 2ww) can be shorter (rarely longer). The irregularities can remain for the entire time you BF, or it can regulate after a few cycles.

I've had mine back for 7 months now and they're still not entirely regular, though unfortunately for me, they're usually shorter rather than longer.

My 2nd one came 40 days after the first period.  I still BF so I expect that to continue which also means I will probably be taking several pregnancy tests just to be sure.

Yep, its normal! I have a weird period now (38 day cycle) most of the time I am even a few days later than that. Blahhhh. I am also still BFing often so im guessing that is why.

Before DD I had a cycle between 40-45 days. Thus far, 4 months post BF and 6 months (roughly) since first AF PP it is averaging 54 days.

Bf'ing or not, it will probably take awhile for your cycles to become regular. I had my 1st pp period in Oct, and am still waiting for the 2nd, ha ha!
