No ovulation or period 12 weeks post partum.

[Ella31]

I know its pure anxiety after loss coming in but I can't shake the feeling that somethings wrong. Had my rainbow baby 12 weeks ago, im bottle feeding and I've still no period or ovulation. I over did exercise yesterday and I had pink tinged mucus today but why haven't I ovulated yet. Im planning to try again after Christmas and because we lost our twin sons at birth 19 months ago, the fear of the unknown never leaves you. I just want to see it regulate so I can relax. Thanks for listening.

A huge congratulations on your rainbow, @Ella31! I’ve been following your story for the last year or so. I wouldn’t worry about AF’s non appearance yet. I can take your body a while to catch up after birth, even with bottle feeding. Just enjoy having no periods for now. I’m sure they’ll have returned by Christmas xxx

Thanks so much, how are you doing yourself. I really appreciate the advice 😊

Congratulations! Health Visitors will put your mind at ease but just to echo what was said above, it can take a while for bodies to get back into rhythm. I enjoyed every second of not having periods! But I do understand how you are feeling. Enjoy baby and I'm sure things will settle. Massive Congratulations!

Honestly please try not to worry, my periods have never been the same since I had my children and that's 7 years ago

I believe this is totally normal, and it can take a while for the body to regulate. I had assistance to have my first, then 10 months after his birth I still hadn’t had a period and found out I was pregnant again! Congratulations on your baby xx

Massive congratulations. Don’t be hard on yourself your body has done the toughest job and it takes time to heal and bounce back. Hope you are loving your time with your little one have extra cuddles and squeezes they grow so fast!! If you get worried can always reach out to your gp in a few months. I was worried - breastfeeding and wanted another but it all sorted itself out and preggers with second ivf baby - just think how lucky to have babies 😊

This is normal? Post partum bleeding can last weeks, no period for 6 months plus is normal even if you are bottle feeding. I imagine it will be back in a month or so. Also it’s recommended not to get pregnant again for a year after birth for very good medical reasons to reduce the risk of complications or other health problems.

Totally normal first time took 5 months for me to get it back and this time 3. It varies completely from person to person most of my friends have said between 4-8months
