Sorry if TMI but, I got my first real period last month (March 6) since pregnancy. It was a normal period lasting about 5 days. AF has not shown up again since then. I am still pumping and nursing my daughter at night. Would that cause AF to not be on a normal cycle? I had gotten cramps about 2 weeks ago and I thought AF was making an appearance, but no. Is this normal?

Re: Question about AF and breastfeeding
I FM you, but also, the docs say that it can take up to 3-4 months before your periods are regular when you are breast feeding.

Re: Question about AF and breastfeeding
Do you think there is any chance of being pregnant? I had it happen to me...but I kept getting cramps and nothing came, so I finally tested. It came back positive, obv. since I'm due in October now.
It can take a while before AF returns to normal.

Re: Question about AF and breastfeeding
I don't think I am. Might be TMI, but we've been careful so unless something broke (which I don't think it did) I shouldn't be. I have been under a lot of stess for the last week with my FIL having emergency triple by-pass surgery. So maybe the stress and the b/f are putting it off?
