Fertility and BFing my toddler
I am feeding 13.5 month-old DD about 3 times a day and about three
months ago my period came back. Good news, because we are ready for #2. I am not taking my morning temp. because I couldn't detect my surge the first time after charting and had to rely on my trusty but $$ $$ urine tests. : ( I am counting the days in my cycle and it is erratic. My first count was 34 days between periods and this last was 47 days. I've never been very regular, though. Here's my question. We recently went on vacation and DD got a yeast infection. All these disruptions have led me to increase her feedings as I have noticed that she "asks" to be nursed more often. Is it possible to have your period return and then disappear again due to increased nursing? Always grateful for your responses!! Erin |

Is it possible to have your period return and then disappear again due to increased nursing? absolutely, I was very ill about 4 mths after my first was born and he ended up being supplemented, my period appeared 2 weeks later, I had another one 7 weeks later I think and maybe a 3rd, but we got back to exclusive breastfeeding after about 6 weeks, I think I may have had a light one at some point during the next 6months, but no normal one until he was 15mths old and I got pregnant that cycle.

You may or may not have ovulated before your first "period". It may be worth trying the morning temps again. With my first I had several months of seeming periods before I began having clear temperature rises confirming ovulation. Often, the first cycles while breastfeeding are irregular, not only in the pre-ovulatory phase, but also in the luteal phase. It may take a few months before you have a luteal phase long enough to sustain a pregnancy. Some months the luteal phase may be long enough and others it may not be. Here's my question. We recently went on vacation and DD got a yeast infection. All these disruptions have led me to increase her feedings as I have noticed that she "asks" to be nursed more often. Is it possible to have your period return and then disappear again due to increased nursing? Yes, it is possible but even if she is now nursing as frequently as a newborn you are still likely to keep having your periods. --Betsy |

Cheers Anne The more recently you have given birth the more likely this is to happen, but even some adoptive mothers who induce lactation stop ovulating. --Betsy |
