Hi,

I've not had my period for three months, my son is 12 wks this Thursday and has been exclusively bottle fed since he was two days old. I bled for three weeks after his birth but since then nothing. I do get signs on PMT like cramping, moodiness but still no period. With my first born I got my period back by 6 weeks post partum. Is anyone in the same situation??

I know not having AF is a blessing, but it feels weird not having her back by now, especially because I bottle feed.

I've had unprotected sex on three occasions, I've gone to my GP and had a Pregnancy Test but it was negative.

I wouldn't have thought it was too unusual. It takes quite awhile for your hormones to settle down really so I wouldn't worry too much.

Its not uncommon at all.

I've known women to FF from birth and not get their AF back for anywhere up to 8 months.

As you probably already know you can still get UTD before AF comes back, so unless you are planning another bubba close, if you aren't BF'ing you may wanna look at going back on the pill or using alternative methods smile.gif

Yep - normal. I stopped B/Fing at 3 months, and didn't get AF back until 6 months with my first.

Just consider yourself one of the "lucky" ones biggrin.gif

Thanks ladies!!

Looks like i'm not getting my period back for a while. I've done HPT and blood test and i'm definately pregnant again.
