Hi all,
I am a mom of 5 with a question... After the first 4 babies, once breastfeeding had ceased my periods returned like clockwork from around 14 days after the last breastfeed. But now it's been 6 or 7 weeks and still nothing. I find this weird as this is not normal for me. I am a little bit peed off now, as concieving again was the main point of ending breastfeeding (due to strong history of early menopause and uterine cancer in family). Kamron is willing to nurse but there isn't much there. Maybe I should pick up nursing again as I feel like it is such a waste ( we miss nursing. I am not desperate to get pregnant, but just want to know everything is working inside! I am not pregnant as tests come up negative. Any thoughts? Andrea mom of 5. |

There are conditions that can inhibit the return of your periods, but it's probably a little early to start looking for them. If you really want, you could go in and have your prolactin levels checked. If they are high, that can indicate a problem that should be further investigated. Unfortunately, I don't know if 6-7 weeks after stopping nursing is long enough to know for sure that prolactin levels should be down significantly. The only people I know who went in to have that sort of thing investigated were a year or more after the cessation of nursing. Best wishes, Ericka |
