I quit exclusively breastfeeding end of August and I still haven't had my period yet and I'm getting a bit suspicious that I'm pregnant. I really don't want to be. It has been almost 2 months.

ds1: started mix feeding around 5mo, stopped bf around 9mo, period returned around 10/11mo

ds2: period returned around 15mo, stopped bf around 20mo.

If you are concerned - do a test.

I'll do a test tomorrow, just freaking out a bit just because I feel nauseous..I'm hoping it's a virus as I have cold at the moment.

With my first child I stopped when he was about 16 months and they started straight away (well a month later)

Second they started at 28 months, still feeding now at 40 months.

Not much help to you, I guess - hope you get the answer you want tmrw x
