Period Question

seghibsseghibs
in Cincinnati Babies
So I still haven't gotten my period (not that I am complaining, its rather nice), but I am starting to get a little concerned. I stopped nursing over night (Colin started STTN) at 2 months, then I went to 50/50 breastfeeding to formula at 5 months and about 3 weeks ago I completely stopped nursing. Still nothing. Would you POAS? I highly doubt I am pregnant. Did anyone not have one for a long time?

    I feel like I'm in the minority because I started my period between 6-8 weeks after each delivery (I had a c-section, not sure if that matters), and I was still breast-feeding.

    I know that periods can take a while to come back for some people. It's only been 3 weeks since you stopped, so you're probably fine. You could always call your OB to see what they say:)

    I might POAS just to be sure, but it's only been 3 weeks since you completely stopped BFing, so I think that's completely normal to not have had your period yet.  Don't worry...the biotch is on her way, I'm sure! LOL

    I wouldn't worry too much.  I didn't get my first period after Carter until he was 9 months old and I was still nursing.  It may take awhile to come back after you finish nursing, but there's no harm in POAS!

    If youre worried I would POAS just to ease your mind but when I quit pumping it was a full month till I started my period so I would say 3 weeks is right on target and nothing to be too concerned about

    I second what JohnandKristin said. This was me too. I BF'ed exclusively and my period returned at 10 weeks postpartum. I really think there is a lot of variation that falls within what is normal. It's worth the call to your OB for the peace of mind though.
