Breastfeeding- is it possible....

To have cycles without the period?

I'm over 10m in with DD2 and no period (it came back after 5m with dd1).

I haven't timed it or worked out dates to know if it's a cycle but every few weeks I get period symptoms, super spotty, tired and even sometimes cramps and my IBS flares a little. This has happened since she was 5m old but I've never bled

Maybe buy some cheap ovulation sticks and start testing to see? If you usually have a 28 day cycle start testing around day 8 so you don't miss it

If you ovulate and it isn't fertilised you should have a period. So you could have one cycle with no period if you got pg.

It could be your body ramping up but not yet producing enough hormone to release an egg?

I swear this is what happens to me. Actual bleeding probably only happens once every 3-4 months but I certainly get the symptoms each month. It's like the hormone just isn't quite high enough to produce the full effect or something.
