So I have a question for you moms out there. This may be a bit TMI. I'm a ftm, my son just turned 1 last week. After I gave birth in july, I got my period back in October. I had it very predictably through January. I then missed February. I took lots of tests and even some at the Dr office cause I felt I was pregnant. All were negative. I still didn't have one by mid May (not even a little spotting), so I went to my OB and she did a 10 day hormon pills to jump start my cycle and see if after the jump started period, the next would come on its own. I had a period about a week after the hormon pills, beginning of June. That means I should have had one beginning of July, but I haven't yet. I am going to do a pregnancy test before I call and update my OB just to be sure. Has anything like this happened to any of you mommas?

Unbalanced hormones can cause irregular cycles. This can occur at any point in your life with no warning unfortunately. Eating a healthy diet and exercising daily are two ways to help, but not always the cure... Your OB should be able to do further testing or send you to a specialist 👍👍

My mom thinks it may be too much stress. I have a physically demanding job and we have also had a lot of stupid stress of late.

Stress can really mess with your system... also when I quit breastfeeding my first... it was like my hormones got all stupid again and it literally started making me have pregnancy symptoms and my cycle got all messed up again! Just a thought.

I only breastfeed for 6 weeks. I wish I could have longer, but work and our living arrangements at the time made it nearly impossible when I went back to work.

Did they draw any labs? Chances are slim that it's the same for you but when I had issues they ran labs and my thyroid was the problem. However, my mom had 5 kids and the first thing she told me when I got pregnant was that my period would never be the same. So, while I think it's good to get it checked out, maybe it isn't anything too bad!

They checked my thyroid twice while I was pregnant (I was freezing (blanket or sweatshirt in 80 degree house or weather when I normally like it at 68) and I was super exhausted (slept 12-16 hours a day)). Those were both normal. Second one in the beginning of the 3rd trimester showed I had become slightly anemic which cleared by the time I left the hospital after giving birth. I've had blood labs done 3 times since my son was born. One for attempting to figure out my chronic back pain when he was 4 months old. One in February to attempt to figure out my abdominal pain that lasted almost 2 months before it finally went away. End of February I had an ultrasound done for the abdominal pain that showed nothing. And the last in May/June to try make sure nothing was causing the period issue. All tests they checked thyroid and iron levels amongst a lot of other things.
