I haven't got my period since i quit breast feeding my daughter, but i have been on birth control since i had her. is this normal? we also just moved so i am wondering if i should take a peregnancy test or just go to the doctor.
Can any give advice? thanks
How long has it been? It took about 2 mths after I stopped BF to get me period.
How long has it been? I too haven't gotten my period since I have stopped breast feeding. It has been about two months for me. With my first daughter I got my period when she was 10 months and I was still nursing her a lot. With my second daughter I never got it because I ended up getting pregnant when she was 10 months old with my third daughter and I was nursing her a lot too. I was actually going to call my doctor to see if I should be concerned, but then some people told me it could just take a while for my body to adjust. I do have a friend that it took her 9 months to get her back after she stopped nursing.
If you were taking the "mini-pill" you should have switched to the full-strength one once you stopped nursing or you could already be pregnant again... that's how a friend of mine ended up with a 3rd kiddo!
How long has it been since you stopped breastfeeding? It may take a little longer than normal for your body to adjust after stopping breastfeeding if you are on birth control.
Depends what kind of birth control you are on also.
Lucky you... I got mine while I was still breast feeding and that sucked! Smile. However, depending on the birth control that you are using you might not have a period or it might be months between them. I was on depo and stopped having them all together (which was good for me.. no more pain etc.). If in doubt then go get a test and take it. You are probably ok though.
