Still No Period 1 Year after Baby & Not Breastfeeding Posted: 10-05-07 19:17pm
Hi girls,
Well I have still not had a period since I
had Chandler. Its officially been an
entire year since I had one!! Not
complaining about that, however I figured
that I would have had one as I am going on
12 weeks since Chandler was born and
nothing, not even the inclination that one
is going to start. Did anyone else go this
long after having a baby, and wasn't
breastfeeding?
Thanks,
Mary

Wow. I was breastfeeding and was only
period free for about 11 weeks
Could you be pregnant again? I honestly
think this situation varies for all women.

I got my first period when Alyvia was
maybe... 9 months? 10? It's still very
irregular (I'm still breastfeeding) which
makes me always play the "am I?" question
when it was "late". So for me,
breastfeeding definitely affects my
period.
I'm not sure though if you're not
breastfeeding. I
hope you find some answers soon!

Thanks. My doctor gave me the pill and
said it could be while before I start. We
have not decided to use the pill.
Basically playing the if we get pregnant
again its all good. I had a good talk with
my doctor and she told me to go right
ahead where it took so long to get preg
before and that it would be in my interest
to just get it done lol I did take a
pregnancy test when I was there 2 wks ago
and it was neg. So, not pregnant. I am
sure if I have not had one by the time I
see her again she will be wondering whats
up. I just hope it gets back to normal
again soon. I had a vaginal infection, and
the antibiotics gave me a yeast infection
so that was brutal. I thought I was
starting my period then as I had some
spotting and nothing so I chopped it up to
being the infection. Anyways both of those
are gone now and I am feeling better thank
god.. I just want to have a period and
geton a schedule again lol

YAY!
next time you are put on antibiotics, eat
yogurt. That can prevent a yeast
infection. Works for me anyway.

I did eat yogurt. In fact, I eat it like
its going out of style. I always have. All
I know is that the infections are gone. I
am guessing that I ended up with the Yeast
one because I was so close to my period.
Who really know. Just glad its here lol
