I went on birth control to regulate after breastfeeding?


I was breastfeeding for 7 1/2 months with no period. We wanted to start to TTC again so I went on the pill to bring on my period (I was getting impatient!) I just stopped the first cycle of the pill.. still no period! What's up with this? I stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago! Should I go to the doc? When will I ovulate?

Not getting a period while you're breastfeeding is very typical. Were you still breastfeeding while on the pill? It's possible that you're pregnant again. Just because you're not having your period (while breastfeeding) doesn't mean you won't get pregnant. You still ovulate. I became pregnant while nursing my son.

Yes, go see your doctor. If you're not pregnant. You may have a cyst on your ovary which could be delaying your period.

I hope this is helpful.
