Im exclusively breastfeeding, baby is 3mnths. i just got my period- does this mean i will continue getting it? thought i'd have some time without it.

Irregular: No, it does not mean you will continue getting it, but it also does not guarantee you won't. Ovulation, and subsequent period, are very irregular while breast feeding. You may have had this one, and then won't have another one for another 3 months, or you may start having one monthly. If you are not ready for a second child, make sure you are using some type of contraception. Then wait and see....
