BF and period Question...

I am sooo confused, my OBGYN told me if I am BF I will not get my period - I definately decreased how much I am breastfeeding, but didn't stop and I got my period today ! Also, I am on the Birth Control pill that is safe "while Breastfeeding" maybe that should be changed now too?

Ugg, haven't had AF in 18 months !!

I read that you won't ovulate or get your period if you are BF-ing full time or nearly full time (supplementing one feeding a day). Any less than that, you are likely to ovulate and get your period.

I would ask your OBGYN about changing your pill. I would think that if you are still BF-ing, then you should still be on the safe pill.
