A member asked:

I'm 36 yrs & my 3rd child is now 14 months. she was exclusively breastfed. she still nurses but not a ton. i still have not gotten my period. normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: This is quite normal, but also be aware you may be ovulating on and off if she is decreasing her nursing. That means there is a possibility of pregnancy. I would advise you at least check a pregnancy test if you are not using any other form of contraception. I never had a period between my first two children - became pregnant with #2 while still breastfeeding #1. Otherwise, not to worry.
