Done pumping, where did my period go?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I was having my period fairly regularly for about 2 months while pumping.  Then I started going back to work and combined with the decrease supply during the 2 weeks before my period I wasn't producing enough, so I quit.  Now, about four weeks after my period should have started it is missing.  There is probably a less than 1% chance I could be pregnant as we pull out and use condoms.  There has never been a time when we have gone unprotected.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Is it normal?  I know my dr said my progesterone levels were very low while pumping, could this be a result of them spiking from not pumping anymore? 

 

TIA

    It's common while bfing for your period to be irregular at first.  I agree with pp though that a few EPTs should be in your near future!  Good luck!

    It can take it awhile to return to normal. Your body is still adjusting. Just to be safe I would POAS. Unless you're using the condom combined with pulling out, not either or, you're not totally protected.

    There is a reason it's called pull and pray.

    Good luck!

    I don't just use pull out on it's own.  I use both combined, every. single. time.  I would never ever use just pull out, that's why my mom comes from a family of 6 children!  I never just use a condom and I never just use pull out, it's always both.  That's why I am saying it would be close to impossible but I am just nervous!

    Oh, well then you're totes safe!  

    Here's your tough love portion - pee on a stick.  While you could O'ed late (or not at all), you could also be pregnant.  Since you're asking here, you clearly want to know which one.  Condoms, even with your silly pull out method, are not 100%.  No birth control is 100%, even when used completely correctly.

    Well, somebody has to be the 1%...I'd be looking for a HPT if I were you.

    Also, stress can affect your period, so that could be it.  But almost all of my complications with both PGs were less than 1% chance, so I say my first statement with conviction.  Hoping you get the result you are looking for.

    Ha ha, this was my thought too.  It sounds like your method of contraception is a little iffy.  If it's been 4 weeks and you still haven't gotten it, I would definitely test.

    I don't really understand how using condoms is a little iffy.  I use condoms, but while using condoms he pulls out.  How is that iffy at all?  I am sure a large amount of people in the United States use condoms as contraception.  We don't all believe in other forms of birth control.

    Oh I must have misunderstood.  I thought you meant that you guys pulled out and then put on the condom.  Your method makes sense now.  You may still want to test just in case, but I think it maybe took me a month or two to get my AF back after weaning.
