Where are my sodding periods?!

DS2 is 6 months old now and my periods still haven't returned. I breastfed him until a couple of months ago. Should I be worried?

For context, my periods returned four months after DS1 was born, while I was still breastfeeding.

Grateful for advice!

Mine too, no sign of them whatsoever! I'll be stalking this for an explanation. Are you taking a contraceptive?

My dd is 6 months and no period yet.

No, not on any contraceptive (barrier method). DS2 sleeps through more often than not too! Can't think what it could be!

DD is 18 monthd I have had one. About three months ago. Though I am still BF. Grr- I never though I would be willing them back!

You can ask your gp to do a simple blood test to check your prolactin levels. Sometimes your pituitary gland can be out of sync and there is medication you can take to bring the levels of prolactin back to normal (and increase the frequency of your periods).
