A member asked:
Is there something i can take to help start my cycles? i'm trying to conceive and still breastfeeding. i'm 17 months pp and haven't had a cycle yet.

Nature is protective: Our ancestors survived infancy and made it to childhood because nursing provided enough assured nutrition for a toddler to survive famine from time to time. For a mom with an infant and a toddler, the odds were very bad for survival of either. Hence the contraceptive effect of nursing. I wouldn't do anything about it unless you wanted to become pregnant now. If so, wean.
