just want to say I hope this sorts itself out, cant be of any help but my periods have had the opposite effect ..... I am now 8 months post natal and they are still very very heavy something which I am not useful sorry tmi. I hope you can find the answers all the best.

If i do see the doctor and he does say it could be my body getting back to normal and to wait. How long would you wait for? What about if it was something bad was wrong the longer i left it could it make it worse. I only breast fed for 8 weeks. I will talk to the doctor!

Thanks for everyones replies.

Thats what im scared of but im probably jumping to conclusions to quickly.

I bf till 12 months, now dd is 16 months and period not returned. Am not on pill and doctor told me not to go on it yet but referred me to a gynaecologist but appt is not till Oct and she'll be 18 months by then so I blo,ody hope they will be back by then!! I am v worried too especially cos I wanted to be preggers again by Oct  and now I feel I can't even start trying for no.2 in case there is something wrong with me

I only breat fed for 8 weeks though as i got really ill and had loads of problems. I hope thats what it is but i will book an app with my doctor on tues to check it out. thanks for your replies

Hi Kirsty

I don't think this it's anything serious.

I bf my daughter for 5 months and my period finally returned the day after her first birthday.

I bf my son for 6 1/2 months and my period returned when he was 9 months and 3 days.

It can take a while for them to return to normal, if you are really concerened speak with your gp. HTHs x

Hi, are you bf? or did you bf for a while? sometimes that can throw your cycle out for a while, i bf for about 4 months and my period started a good 5- 6 weeks later but when i bf my 1st DS my periods didnt start for well over a year which was a good 6 months after bf him. sorry i cant help anymore, i would speak to hv or gp. x

No im not on the pill. I am worried i hope nothing is wrong. I was under a lot of stress after my little one was born, i had mastitis and problems breast feeding and then i moved. I am wandering whether this might have anything to do with it. I think i will go to the doctors and get an appointment. I am just a little scared.

Sorry hunny, not sure why. Book an appointment with your doctor to check everythings ok.  Have u been using the pill? Might be that where your bodys just taking a while to get used to it.xxx

Hi, this feels a bit weird telling everyone my problems but im a little worried.

I had my daughter 4 and a half months ago and i bled for about 5 weeks but since then i have not had a period. I know im definetly not pregnant an have done a test to check.

Has anyone else had this problem?
