Periods still irregular nearly six months postpartum and feeling worried

[GT99]

I am 5 months nearly 6 months post partum. My periods have returned as I am not breast feeding. First cycle was 33 days, second 34, third 28 and now I am on day 35 and waiting for my 5th period.

I only had about 5 periods in between after having my second son and then falling pregnant with my third son. I have 3 kids. The age gap between my first and second is just over 2 years, and the age gap between my second and third is 15 months.

My periods after my first and second son were regular, no problems.

Please can anyone suggest why I’m struggling with my periods regulating properly this time??

Don’t panic, I’ve taken pregnancy tests and all are negative. Plus contraception is used.

Please help me out! I am worried. I have submitted a form to my GP as this cycle for the first time (never happened before) I had brown light bleeding from day 13 of the cycle for roughly a week.

Did you do any breastfeeding? even a few weeks can make the cycle irregular for ages

Also how old are you?

I wouldn't worry, honestly. It's probably just your cycle still regulating. 6 months pp is still quite early.

See what the GP says though.

No I haven’t breast fed at all & I am 26.

I just overthink things and because it’s not happened before it just concerns me.
