I had a baby 5 months ago.im breastfeeding n taking birth control pill.i still havent gotten my period.? |
im 18 and i had a baby 5 months ago. i had a c-sectionn.im breastfeeding and taking a low dose birth control pill, but i got my period one time in November and havent since then.i took a test, well a couple and it came back negative. whats wrong? It could just be breastfeeding. It can make women not have a period the whole time they are breastfeeding. If you are on the pill, that could throw it off too. Don't worry too much about it. If you have taken a test, and it's negative, it's probably just the breastfeeding. You are lucky!!! I have my period about 7-8 weeks after I have a baby, no matter if I'm breastfeeding or not. Oh don't listen to the person who said it's dangerous to take the pill while breastfeeding. They don't know what they are talking about!! The low dose pill if FOR breastfeeding women!!! Source(s): OB/Gyn CNP, mom of 2 with one on the way. it's very normal not to have your period while breastfeeding...it's also normal for the first year for your period to be totaly messed up....if this is something that concerns you, give your obgyn a call... I would say probably nothing. Lots of women who breastfeed dont get there periods. Double check with your Dr. But really I dont think anything is wrong. I wouldn't worry. It is common to have very light spotting to no spotting at all when you are nursing. You should be seeing your Dr for a wellness visit soon anyway, go ahead and let them know about it. Completely normal! During breastfeeding, it's very common to not have a period at all or have them sporatically. A combination of breastfeeding and the pill will lower the chances even greater of getting menses. Don't worry hun, it's normal! But there is still a cahnce of pregnancy so if you want to avoid that, definitely use condoms or another alternative method. Congrats on breastfeeding as well, I love to hear when other mothers believe in such a healthy start to life!! When you breast feed this usually prevents you from getting your monthly cycle. I breast feed for 1 year and I didn't get my period until my baby was 9 months. It's nothing unusual, I wouldn't worry. If all else fails, see your family doctor. |
