Still no period?

eg214 · April 2014

I'm 11 weeks PP. Anyone in this same boat not having a period yet? I started spotting a little a week or so ago for about a day or two, but ended up with nothing. I have a hormone imbalance which makes my cycles wonky and I'm BF'ing...just wondering if this is norm or what.

I stopped BF a while back and now only let LO comfort feed once or twice a day for barely 5 mins. I still don't have my period and I'll be 11 weeks PP this Thursday. I think it's fairly normal. I'd worry if I don't have my period after a couple months.

I don't get my period until I totally wean from breastfeeding. Before I got pregnant with LO, my last period was Sept of 2010. (DD2, breastfeeding, Mirena)
Made for some interesting faces at prenatal appointments when asked "when was the first day of your last period?"

I'm 13 weeks pp and actually just started this morning. I stopped breastfeeding about 3 weeks ago. I started in the middle of my birth control pack, so not sure what exactly will happen with my cycle.

I'm 10 weeks out and still no period, but we're also bfing. I did have a decent amount of ewcm today, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up in the next 2-4 weeks.

I'm 10w2d PP and combo feeding. I've been having that upset stomach feeling I get before my period, but it hasn't shown.

Some people get there's 6w pp while BF, some get them when baby starts STTN, some when baby starts solids, some when baby night weans, some when baby totally weans, and some ladies have no rhyme or reason why theirs returns. So, no point dwelling on it - it'll happen eventually.

ETA: fixed my "theirs" from "there's" - one of my own pet-peeves

I'm almost 11 weeks PP and still no period. I'm pumping and BF.

MamaHollywood27 · April 2014

15 wpp here and nothing... Ima 4-8 weeks after weaning kinda girl...it's nice having a break I guess, although is rather have it to be able to have some type of schedule. I have had one period since 07/11-pg w dd, weaned her 04/13 got cyle 3ish weeks later, and got +pos w this LO 06/13. so almost 3 years

I didn't get a period for over a year after going off the pill (eventually induced it with provera) so I'm assuming I won't get it while breastfeeding... of course that could be totally wrong so I'm always relatively prepared

My ds1 was 12ish months before I had a period, then is wasn't consistent, by 14-15mo i was pregnant with DS2. 12w pp still nothing.

slwprincess · April 2014

With my first, I combo fed and didn't get one until after I weaned. With my second, I also combo fed but much more BF and got AF at 4 mos but it stayed irregular until after I weaned. I'm 10 weeks now and nothing so far. It's different each time.

You are completely normal. I got mine at 10 weeks this time and I'm not breastfeeding. With DD I was breastfeeding and I got it at about 11 months after we went on vacation and her schedule was messed up with a 3 hour time change.

ras26 · April 2014

Agree with PPs; it's totally normal. With DD1 I didn't get one until after I stopped pumping at work at 12 months (partial wean), and it wasn't consistent until 14 or 15 months when I stopped nursing altogether. Admittedly, it was pretty awesome.

If you nurse you will likely not get until you begin to wean or wean completely. Mine did not come for 13 months with DS1. Enjoy it

I didn't have my cycle return with DS until I weaned at 11 months. And then got pg right away, so never actually had a period.

versed · April 2014

Just adding that mine returned with DS1 at 5m pp. He was EBF and nursing every 3 hours day and night at that point. By everything I heard, I shouldn't have gotten it then, but I did.
