Does this sound right (re skipped period)? (x-posted mkp/mkb)
My DD is 27 mths. Still bf'ing at least 3 times a day and at least once in
the night (or early hours), sometimes more, never less. My period will be 9 days late tomorrow. I have had v regular 26-28 day cycles, except for one cycle which was 32 days, since DD was 7 mths old. I have taken several pg tests and a blood test, all negative. I feel no signs of AF nor do I feel pg. My Ob says this is happening because I am still bf'ing. Does that seem right to you guys? I have not missed a period since AF came back 20 months ago so why all of a sudden should I skip one now? This is really driving me crazy - I cannot come up with anything online other than references to bf'ing causing someone not to ovulate for "up to a year or more" after having a child but this doesn't apply to me. My gut feeling is that something is wrong (a cyst, a fibroid, cancer (I certainly hope not)). Do you think I should ask for some kind of test (maybe u/s)? Or wait for another month to see if I have a period next month (what they are suggesting)? My Ob's office said they will repeat the blood test in a week if AF still hasn't arrived, but I think that's a waste of time - if it's negative a week past my expected period, it will be negative 2 weeks past wouldn't it??? And I just don't feel pg!!! Can somebody please hazard a guess here - I am going out of my mind wondering what is wrong with me and waiting for AF! Thanks for reading if you got this far...

And I just don't feel pg!!! There are quite a few women who get negative pregnancy tests quite a ways into their pregnancies. I've heard women who've gone more than a month past their missed period without getting a positive test even though they were pregnant. I'd be surprised if a doctor would advise other tests yet. I'd give it a little while longer to show up as a positive pregnancy test before pressing further. Best wishes, Ericka |

Hello,
You don't mention your age...I had extremely regular periods (every 25 days like clockwork, even while bf'ing) until I turned 39; since then (I'm almost 43) they've been all over the place. Went to the dr. and had a complete workup and exam; nothing at all wrong...just early premenopause they guess. It's a bit of a pain to have to be "ready" all the time just in case, but not that big a deal. We're happy with just the one kidlet so the earlier they stop, the better, sez I. Jeannie |

Don't think thats the case for me - I'm 31... It isn't impossible. I am prepared as my mother and grandmother both had menopause in their early 30's, followed by uterine cancer(Cancer runs in both families). They both had a hysterectomy by the age of 35. That's why I am trying for another baby already. Andrea mom of 5 TTC #6 |

I agree, but neither my mother or grandmother had anything like that. My
mum is 52 and still not in menopause. I know it's still possible but not as likely in my case... "Andrea" wrote in message et... "CY" wrote in message.. Don't think thats the case for me - I'm 31...

Well I am glad menopause is coming early for me cause lord knows how many kids I would have by 52! Well doesn't sound like the big M, but you can have some tests to find out... Andrea.

The normally v regular CY I know it's stressful to have your body not behave the way you expect, but I would try to relax. Just from hanging around mkp a while it's clear that even women with very regular cycles every once in a while have a "blip" for no apparent reason. Your risk of uterine cancer at your age and with no family history is very low (and excess bleeding would be more likely than none). Fibroids and cysts are exceedingly unlikely to cause problems unless you neglect them for a long time. There's a very good chance there's nothing wrong at all, and you're just having some random variation that caused you to skip. Even if there is a problem you're pretty safe waiting for a bit before going aggro with the testing. Good luck -- keep us updated! Kate and the Bug, almost 1 year! |
