It’s extremely common for Women to not have a Period whilst BF
I'm 14 weeks PP and BF, also no signs of period yet and I'm back on the pill. I believe it's quite common if you're EBF, especially if you're also on the pill, but if you're concerned then maybe get some tests for peace of mind?
I’m 16 weeks pp and EBF and no period 😊 it’s extremely common
16 weeks PP on Monday and EBF and no period either 😃 one of the biggest perks of breastfeeding!
16 weeks too! EBF and no period x
Oxytocin which helps to produce breast milk will inhibit hormones kickstarting your period! If you exclusively BG it could be 6 months or longer. I personally stopped BF at 10 weeks and my first period arrived back this week at week 14! X
Can I ask if you’re on the combined pill? I didn’t think you’re meant to start the pill until your period starts as it messes up hormones. I was advised to start the pill within 5 days of my period starting so its like the start of the cycle to kickstart the contraception with the hormones again x
Thank you all, definitely put my mind at ease. Ftm and no one explained that it'd take longer than you think for your period to come back xx
@Jessica I'm on the POP pill, didn't start it until 10weeks pp though, I did mention that my period hadnt come back and he said it was nothing to worry about but that was 6 weeks ago xx
Im 14 weeks post partum and exclusively breastfeeding, also no period yet. Breastfeeding can delay the periods for some people i got told it was normal if i didnt have one. Ive always had irregular periods so im used to this😂 i have cheap strip pregnancy tests that i just routinely do to check, as id never know if i was "late"
