Could Period Be Trying to Come Back After Baby??

My son is 10 1/2 mos now and eating lots of solids. I still breastfeed him a few times a day. I know every woman is different but lately I've been feeling weird! I get dizzy, face breaking out, canker sores (which I always get more on my period), extra hungry, etc. This is about the time my period came before pregnancy. Just wondering if I am maybe having waves of hormones like my body is trying to start my period? Anyone experience this or know if your body still acts somewhat like there is a period even though no blood is coming? Hope that made sense. :)

What can I do next?

Leah,
I have breast fed all of my children, there were time's where I would'nt get my period because I was breast feeding, and there were time's where I would "spot". The breakout's is a normal thing since you are brest feeding and I also know that your hormones are going to be off because you are producing milk and breast feeding. The hungry thing is also normal because your are breast feeding, I was always hungry and thirsty while I was breast feeding my children, so I would have to say that's a normal thing. Now the dizzy thing is something I would talk to your doctor about, maybe your not keeping hydrated? I also had that issue while I was breastfeeding, keep up with fluid's! I rember once I got soo dizzy that I fainted. As for the canker sores, that can be for many reasons, I know one maybe if you always anxious or nervous you can get them. But still I would call your doctor and let them know about the issue's your having. Hope everything goes well for you! But definately contact your doctor and keep us posted on what he/she tells you! Good luck!

It's definitely possible. My period came back when my son was 5 months, but a year later it is still wacky... can come regularly for 2 or 3 months, then skip a few; sometimes it's short and light, other times very heavy and lasting a full week. We're still breastfeeding as well, but only 2 or 3 times a day with 3 full meals of solid food plus snacks. It can be aggravating to have such unreliable periods. All I can say is that dollar store pregnancy tests are a huge stress reliever!!!

wow! i wish mine waited that long! With my first i started by 12 weeks and with my second i'm pretty sure it was around then or earlier. and I exclusively breastfed. so jealous. but getting past that you're body probably is getting ready to return to it's new normal!
