No period yet post partum?

[Alicia870]

I'm just over 12 weeks post partum and and still haven't had a period. I was breastfeeding until 6 weeks ago but started some formula and combination fed since she was 3 weeks old.

Just wondered if this is normal or should I be concerned? I know it takes a while to get your period after stopping bf but thought it would come sooner than this considering I was also combination feeding from an early stage. If I squeeze one of my nipples the tiniest amount of milk can be seen. So is it likely the hormones are still present from bf and suppressing my cycle?

I just really want to start my pill again but want to have a normal period first to give my body a chance to have a normal cycle after the whole pregnancy. It's a pain because we still haven't had sex yet and we both really want to but may have to try with condoms which I'm worried might make it very uncomfortable also! Any opinions welcome!

My DS is 18 months. I stopped breastfeeding at 14 months and am still waiting for a proper period. I recently started to bleed a little but it's due to the medication I'm taking as opposed to a proper period!
Sorry I'm no help x

I'm 18 week PP but still EBF, so not expecting period back yet.

Still being a bit cautious with contraception (when we have the time/ aren't too tired lol) as my mum managed to conceive my brother around 14 weeks PP despite EBFing my sister and having not had her period return. Apparently that first ovulation can be super fertile. Worth checking just in case?

That sounds normal. My first I stopped bf at 10 weeks. I still hadn’t gotten a period when I went back on the pill at 5 months.

2nd one was ebf, has never had a bottle, and my period came back after 3 months. There’s a huge range of what’s normal.
