Period, then no period?

Hi Ladies - It has been awhile since I last posted...LO is def keeping me busy! But now I have a question...how long after birth did it take to get your period back on a normal schedule? I stopped breastfeeding after 4 months and 2 weeks later, I got my period. It has been completely normal since then...that is until now. I am currently 4 days late (and NO, I can not be pregnant). Am I still in the realm of normalcy to have screwy periods @ 8 months post baby? TIA

I'd say probably. I'm still nursing, but got my first postpartum period in December. I had one in January, but am currently on day 40 of this cycle. I too am not pregnant. I just think it takes some time to regulate back to normal. Stress can delay ovulation as well, so that could be why too.

Hi. First post. I got my first period in January and it took 6 weeks for the next one to arrive. I read it can take up to 18 months for hormones to regulate.

Hi. I have had two normal periods. And now am mid cycle with breakthrough bleeding. I am not on any birth control. Is this normal? I'm kind of freaking out bc I didn't get breakthrough bleeding before.
