I feel stupid for writing this question but I am trying to avoid going to the Dr.
I have always had a long cycle ie. 6-8wks long!!! And I stopped breastfeeding about 6mths ago. Now I honestly cannot remember how many periods I have had since stopping breastfeeding. Whether I have had two or three. But it feels like ages since I last had a period! I just was saying to DH I hope I'm not going through early menopause!!!   Be shocking if I was! I am 36.
Any other post-breastfeeding experiences where periods were weird? Just don't know what is normal and crossing fingers I might be (normal).. |

Might have answered my own question
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/womenshealth/207344.html - Here A bit of a relief - I hope that's all it is but would like to hear from others! I am reading online that some people don't get a normal pattern for 6-10mths after stopping breastfeeding! Probably not ovulating then! What a shock - I had no idea! |

I'm like you, my cycle is normally about 7wks long. I stopped BFing a week after DD's first birthday. I had 24hrs of very faint spotting about 2wks after that, and have just had my first proper period ad it was soooooooo heavy and sore. Normally I don't get them very bad at all. Only time will tell if it sorts itself out, but yea, I've heard from a lot of friends with babies that theirs were all up the whack for a good few months so I'd say it's normal -------------
