BF, AF stopped, Neg PG tests.

[munz]

any ideas what could be happening? i've given the boy perhaps about 10 extra feeds over the last month (we were down to 2 p/d) no consistant/night feeds. (normally 5am ones) AF was due nmonday just gone, got all the PMT signs (major moods with DH). had 4 regular AF 28 days after birth (took 4 months to return) anyhow everything's stopped. tested today - twice nothing, def neg, no evp or anything. could the increased BF be stopping things? I've been stressed a bit this cycle, we did have sex once (about 2 weeks ago) DH wore a condom as I had no clue where I was in my cycle. it stayed on (I think, well DH says it did)

any ideas/thoughts gratefully recieved. thanks.

ooh been having real bad mood swings as well then AF is here - was thinking hormone imbalance possibly? (I had one when I was a child)

Sounds like it could be a combination of things. My af returned when ds was 3 months and I was exclusively bf, they continued for 2 months then stopped for a month and now I never really know where I am. My ds if now 7 months and on 4 feeds a day and my af is still irregular and I very rarely feed at night.
I wouldn't worry too much it is probably just late.

I suspect you're right, it's obviously nothing else, as wiht the boy a BFP showed up 2 dasy pre AF< at 9.30 at night, and this is a def neg (which i've v relieved about I must say) it's just awful knowing it's coming but it's not iycwim! lol.

are yours any heavy the month after if u don't have one previously?

still nothing was going to test one last time tomorrow. my boobs have been really hurting as well when he's suckaling. did your when AF wasn't there? had all the pelvic pain etc like AF's coming but it's just not here.

hi, just wanted to add that I had 3.5 yrs with no AF as I was pg, then bfing dd, then pg again immediately and bfing again!

But I did have some monthly-cycle symptoms (in my moods and physical sensitivity). My HV told me that your body does still have a rhythm even though AF doesn't quite make it to the surface!

Another thing I've found is that since I re-started the AFs have been all over the place, unpredictable and quite painful. I'm taking Oil of Evening Primrose which I think helps. It's quite a lot of upheaval for your body to go through, esp. if like me you are prone to painful and moody AFs anyway.

hiya thanks for your reply - thank god AF turned up today - over a week late but not to worry! lol. main thing is it's here - never been so glad to see it either! lol.

yep i'm prone to horrendous modd swings not normally pain - althou there has been some aches etc so might well give the EPO a go.

Glad to hear everything is Ok. XX
