Long term BF & periods

[Pumpkin16]

I've been feeding my son for 15 months now, exclusively. My period eventually came back in January (so when he was just over a year old).

The first two were like clockwork, but over the past 4 or so weeks he's been unwell/teething & therefore feeding a little more than usual. I'm still waiting for my 3rd period

Has anyone else experienced this?? I've no idea if it's normal as never BF this long with others.

Did pregnancy test a few days ago btw & all negative! Any ideas??

My DD is the same age. I've had 4 cycles of 35, 50, 27 and 31 days. I think it's just settling in weirdness.

Thanks.

Was getting a bit concerned. Suppose it's everything just settling down

Is there any chance you could be pg? It could be normal though.

Sorry only just come back to this thread. Did 2 tests about 2 or so weeks ago. Still waiting for period

Have spoken to a friend who is a long term BF'er who assures me her periods were all over the place, so I'm hoping it's just that!

Mine is almost 3 and my periods are still uneven! If she's having a thirsty month I can be up to 10 days late, I get anxious and them whoosh... mother nature visits.

It's to do with the suckling - more suckling, less period. Older children suck less, periods eventually return and settle down.

Thanks. He eased off feeding a little but seems to want it a lot more lately so makes sense.

I'm not complaining about not having them though
