Need your advice...prob. tmi

GWDouglas

Since you ladies are all knowing...maybe you can help me out.

This is prob. TMI but I need some advice. So I have my first post-partum period when my DS was 11mo. He is now 14mo. and I have not had one since...so going on 4 mo. He is still nursing once a day. Do you ladies think that I should wait until after I fully wean him to see I "become normal" or do you think its my *&%$#%^ PCOS and I should start taking meds again...and yes before anyone asks..I have POAS and it was negative.

Thanks

I would say that it is probably due to still BF. It's possible that your PCOS will resume, but for right now I would say it's most likely due to breastfeeding.

Could very well be breastfeeding. I can't really give advice because the pill messed me up. I was on the low dose pill when I got AF at 3 months, then switched to the mini pill and didn't have AF again until 10 months, then went off and didn't have AF until 14 months. Stupid pill really messed me up.

Thank you for the info. I'm really hoping that its just bf...I really dont want to go back on meds..

I had a random period when my son was still breastfeeding and then nothing until I weaned. Then I started getting a "normal" period every 6 weeks. (That's as regular as I've been since I was like 15.) I had PCOS, but getting pregnant seems to have fixed it for me. I thought it was coming back since I had a negative pregnancy test and my period was missing, then I tested again 3 weeks later and it turned out to be baby number two stopping things up.

Unless you are TTC, or it's bothering you, I wouldn't worry about it.  It probably is BF related, and I would wait until I had weaned fully to worry.

Yeah, I'm still BFing and have PCOS and mine are all over the place.  I just finished my 3rd pp period and there was like a 50-day gap between 1 and 2, and then a 90-day gap between 2 and 3. 

We're not TTC so I'm just not worrying about it right now.
