Where's my period!?

Hi all.

I had my beautiful second baby boy 4 months ago, 18 weeks to be exact.

• I'm bottle/formula feeding only and have been from the very start.
• My breasts are still leaking and aching, but I feel like that's normal?
• I've had discharge very much the same as when I've been pregnant both times. (No smell)
• STILL NO PERIOD. Not even a spot of blood at all. I've had cramps.. proper period type cramps... but that's all.

To add on, I am not over stressed, I'm actually quite content with where I'm at and Im a healthy size 10, only one size up from where I was before baby number 2.

Any advice!?
Thank you!!!

Are you taking/using contraception?

OP, are you 100% sure you aren't pregnant again?

Hi, I've taken a few pregnancy tests and all come back negative in the last few weeks. We are using condoms so I haven't even got a pill messing with my hormones. I'm so confused

Hi,
I'm three months postpartum and I got my period back three days ago.
Like you I also formula feed only and use condoms with no other contraception. I also had period like cramps, about two weeks before my period started and discharge with no smell.
Your symptoms sound exactly like mine just before I got my period. It will come don't worry!
Just a word of warning this period is the worst I have ever had. Stock up on thick pads etc. 🙈

I am 11 weeks postpartum and in the exactly same position. Discharge but it's clear no smell, some cramps, one really bad one the other night. Pregnancy tests negative. Using condoms. And formula feeding. Let me know if you get your period.

2 weeks later, 20 weeks postpartum and still nothing. I've got the doctors on Thursday to have bloods done etc. Hopefully she will give me an answer !!
