Missing second PP period?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Hi ladies, I had my first postpartum period about a month ago. I was supposed to start the second one a couple days ago, but haven't. My whole adult life I've had the standard 28 day cycle. We aren't using bc. Took a pregnancy test, came back negative. Not sure what's going on? Anyone have their own strange pp period pattern (or lack thereof?)

 

btw, I'm still breastfeeding about 5x per day.

    I'm kind of going through the same thing. I got my first PP AF 4 months after having DS, I had one more after than and now haven't gotten it since November.  I'm also still breastfeeding and have take a few pregnancy tests over the past several weeks, all negative.  No idea what's going on!  Sorry I'm not much help but you aren't alone!

    I have always had perfect 28 day cycles also and we weren't using bc either. On the day after I didn't start I took a test (in the evening) and it was negative. 2 days later I still hadn't started so I took one the next morning with the best urine and got a BFP! 

    Did you test in the morning?

    You're body takes time to get back to normal. My second PP period was exactly on time, and the third one was one week "late".

    I could have written this post myself... even down to the day!! Was supposed to get my second period a few days ago, and nothing. Took a test-- BFN. Guess I will take another, but really hoping the other PP's are right and it just takes time! I am still BFing 4x a day.

    Wow, exact same here. Always had a 28 day even without BC. Last month was my first, and this month is a week late. Breastfeeding 6x a day. I tell myself that my body is still trying to figure things out. I figured I'd give it another week and if nothing shows I'll take a pregnancy test. Glad to know that I'm not the only one without a pattern.

    Not sure if anyone is interested, but I thought I'd update on this post....I missed my period, like I said above, took some tests, all negative. A couple weeks later, I still feel as though I may be pregnant, so I took a test this morning just to be sure....and.....

     

    IT WAS POSITIVE! I am pregnant. So yes, my missed second postpartum period was either due to being pregnant, or an extra long cycle which was still resulting in a pregnancy.
