Hello Mumsnetters... I am hoping that some of you can give me some advice?
I am still BF'ing my 8 month DD and am in the process of trying to introduce a bottle of formula during the day (she's not having any of it but that's a separate discussion!). my feeds during the day have consequently dropped right off, though she is making up for it at ther morning and evening feeds. My periods have not resumed and I now think I could be pregnant since having a couple of 'one - offs' without contraception. I have been feeling nauseous, dizzy and have had definite cramping - exactly like early pregnancy symptoms I've had in the past. However, 3 pregnancy tests have all been BFN! As I dont have a cycle as such - it's about 45 days and 35 days since we had sex without contraception, it's hard to guage whether I am pregnant, or about to get the worst period of my life. The symptoms have lasted 3 weeks so far and have shown no signs of going away. I've had no spotting, so despite the BFN's I am convinced I must be pregnant.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Could the pregnancy symptoms I'm having, in fact be down to my hormones readjusting to a different BF schedule, is it my period returning?
what do you think? Any advice most welcome!
thanks
