first period after delivery

[mommyTobe_12]

the ftm forum isn't that active, so I decided to post here.

after I had my son , 7-31 I bled for 4 weeks. so I was good 2 weeks before my 6week pp appt. ever since the pp bleeding stopped at 4 weeks, I have yet to have a period. my son will be 3 months on the 31st.

I'm not breastfeeding, as I kno that can delay it. I also kno our hormones are still outa wack ..but is this long normal ? i took a hpt 11 days ago and it came up negative.

however , in between ive had spotting for a day or two at a time, but I think it's from sex. as it happens after me & my bf have sex. so I'm not sure if this long is normal, I'm not stressin it so that can't be the reason it's so delayed.

My friend never had a period from having her first to her second. She didnt even no she was pregnant till she was 15 weeks with her second as  the result of this.

i had my son 7/24 and haven't had my period yet either, i was wondering the same thing. I am breastfeeding though, but still think its been kinda long.

Some women even without breastfeeding can go awhile ( up to a year ) without getting their period. you are fertile though so be sure to use protection unless you want number 2 in 9 months lol. I bleed for a week and then had off and on spotting from the birth control I start at 3 weeks and then got my period at 7 weeks on the dot. and I breastfed up until 5 weeks. Everyone's body is different

i would be too concerned just yet....your body is just trying to get back to normal...my friend has had 4 children and each time after birth never got a period until they were 4 months old...if your concerned tho, talk to your doc :) and definetly use condoms because i heard its soooo easy to get pregnant again right away
