Breastfeeding and return of periods

[frumperina]

DD is 23 months, still breastfeeding. My periods started again when DD was about 9months old and have been regular since then. Until this month, I'm more then 2 weeks late. Highly unlikely that I'm pregnant but did a test anyway today and it was negative. I'm wondering if they are getting irregular /stopping again because of the breastfeeding. Has anyone else had a return of regular periods and then later they stopped again while breastfeeding?

Erm no. I would leave it another week and do another test. If it is still negative I'd go and see the GP.

Hm, if I am pregnant I'd have to be about 4 months(last time we did anything) pregnant though, with no symptoms at all. That would be strange. Think I'll make a GP appointment then if nothing happens this week.

I am 'hmm' at that too tbh. Haven't heard of returned, regular periods stopping again because of breastfeeding - you are saying you've been regular for a year aren't you? There are lots of non-major reasons your period might be late, but don't think breastfeeding is one of them in this case.

Well I was hoping that would be the easy, non scary explanation. I guess not then. My grandmother had her menopause when she was my age(35) I hope its not that!
