Can you guys answer this WITHOUT mentioning breastfeeding NOT everyone breastfeeds ladies!!! I am 9 1/2 weeks (third baby) no period yet....NO BREASTFEEDING (PLEASE dont mention breastfeeding in answer) only those who DO NOT breastfeed can accurately answer this.

Thanks..when you mention breastfeeding to a NON breastfeeding mother your answer does NOT help.

Thanks

that was slightly rude. there was nothing wrong with the ladies mentioning breastfeeding. it felt as though you were very hostile about breastfeeding.

maybe your pregnant again. maybe your body just hasnt regulated itself out. if your worried. see or give a call to your doctor

Actually that was very rude.  She didn't mention in her question if she was breastfeeding or not so it was a perfectly legitimate response to ask if she was breastfeeding.
If you're bitter about not being able to breastfeed please don't mention it when responding to questions.  Unless you are the person who posted the original question then you have no clue as to what she chose to do.

Seven weeks is nothing, I'm going on 2 years!  I actually didn't have a period for 3 months then I got pregnant, and I haven't had one since.  You shouldn't be scared, unless you're worried that you're pregnant.  If you're not worried about pregnancy then just keep on waiting. It'll come back eventually and you can enjoy your time without a period until then.

Hi,

I got my periods exactly a year since conception. But some of my friends have gotten theirs earlier as well.

I wouldn't be worried if I were you since my doctor had also told me it is OK and our cycles will change post-pregnancy!

Good luck!!!
