Irregular period while BFing (after having period for a while)
I got my first PP period about 6 months ago and have had regular periods since then, but I'm about a week late and don't feel like it's coming yet. I'm still BFing between 1 and 3 times a day. Someone please tell me that it's the BFing and nothing else!

Re: Irregular period while BFing (after having period for a while)
I'm not BFing but got 3 regular periods, all after 28 days and this month I got it after 38 days, I dunno what's going on. I took 2 pregnancy tests, both neg, so I figured I was skipping a month or very very late (never happened before having DS)
How late are you? Have you taken a pg test?

You have been getting AF regularly for 6 months, and are now 1 week late.

Re: Irregular period while BFing (after having period for a while)
I'm regular-ish, usually 30-32 days, but last month I was almost a week early, so I'd say it's definitely possible. I'm never early! Has your DC been BFing more than usual this month? I'd imagine that could suppress ovulation.
I'd take a test, just for peace of mind!

Re: Irregular period while BFing (after having period for a while)
you could be prego!!
My friend BF for 4 months, got her period after stopping but never got it again. She never tested, thought it was just irregular. Well months later after having tests done for stomach dirorders and nothing coming back wrong, she finally took a test! She was pregnant- 4 months pregnant and had no idea! Her boys are 15 months apart.

I would test. This happened to me too after several months of relative regularity...I'm now expecting #2!
