BF/pumping moms...

JocelynP · October 2009

Those of you who are breastfeeding and/or pumping, how long after your LO was born did you continue to not have a period? I have read that many moms don't get it back until they start weaning, but I was wondering what you all experienced. My DS is almost 5 months old and I'm still period free. He drinks mostly breast milk and about 4-8 oz of formula a day. Those of you who still haven't gotten it back, do any of you ever worry about getting pregnant or take a PT just to be sure? It's so weird not having that monthly confirmation that I'm not pregnant. Thanks ladies!

P.S. I definitely don't miss it!

No period here. We are using condoms so I'm not worried about being pregnant. I also watch my fertility signs and haven't seen any signs of ovulation.
