Ha ...I got my period 5weeks pp and I'm breastfeeding (she does get bottles of pumped bm while I'm at work, but I also pump at work when she would normally feed so that has nothing to do with it.)  Every 26-28 days I get a period!!  SO NOT FAIR!!!!  But the norm is to not get one til at least 6months pp or even as long as til after you stop breastfeeding.

  Re: 3 months and no period Reply Contact  I breastfed for ten days and just now got my period.  Evelyn is just shy of 5mo old.  So yes, I feel for you but it certainly doesn't mean you're pregnant.  I even tested cause I was freaking out about a month ago about not getting it yet.  Just get a pregnancy test at the dollar store if you're worried.  I'm hoping my period will now be regular but I'm not going to hold my breath... I got my IUD placed a couple days ago lol and I'm sure that's gonna have me outa wack for a while.

With BOTH of my last two, I got my period at 6 and 8 weeks PP. Sucks! And...I don't even use bottles or pacifiers, so...go figure. Blech.

  Re: 3 months and no period Reply Contact It all depends on your body. My doctor told me that you get your period anywhere from 6 weeks pp up until 3-6 months after you stop BFing. My son will be 6 months on the 29th and I still haven't gotten AF. I'm so thankful for that! I'm hoping it lasts too. But it is still possible to get preggo before you get your first period if you happen to have sex when you ovulate and you don't even know you're ovulating. I'm planning on taking a test soon just to be sure. I highly doubt that I am since we hardly do it, but I'd rather know for sure and not just assume.
