Any mamas EXCLUSIVELY breastfeeding and noticed their period is super weird , for the first few weeks I was getting it every other week now It's been about a month since the last time I got my "period" , I'm taking the mini pill
I'm also EBF. My daughter is 2 1/2 months old and I started the mini pill after my 6 week appt. which was about a month and a few days ago. About two days after I started the mini pill I had a period that lasted about 5 or 6 days. My doctor said there might be some spotting but I swear this was more like a period so I was really worried . After that I haven't had a period since and I'm still on the mini pill. @mv92,
Interesting. I just read what the Planned Parenthood site says. That's so strange. Every piece of literature I've read and every single doctor I've told I'm EBF and don't want to take hormonal birth control have warned me that you can still get pregnant while breastfeeding.
@inkymomma_, I'm still taking the mini pill , I just wanna make sure if my irregular periods are normal , i DO NOT want another baby lol I tried getting the morena but my uterus is too big 😑
Breastfeeding isn't a form of birth control, but it does affect the hormones in your body enough to screw with menstruation. Some women won't get a period for the entire time they breastfeed, but as a general rule, when stimulation to the breast is decreased, even by using a pacifier, your period can return. If it's not regular, that's okay. But do not rely on breastfeeding as birth control. You can still get pregnant if you're breastfeeding and not getting a period.
@dalling012589, i just don't want to end up pregnant again 😏
