how long can period take to be normal after pregnancy (not breastfeeding), started pill, stopped after 1 box. 2 possible period, and spotting on/off.

Question

Stopped breastfeeding 6 mo old & had what I thought was period. It lasted 2 days 48 days ago. No period again, neg pregnancy tests. Can I get preg?

Answer 1

Varies with the pers: It varies with the person but usually within 1-2 months things are back to normal.

Answer 2

Yes: The horomones that regulate breast milk production can result in dry and atrophic vaginal tissue. This can markedly decrease the sex drive. Exhaustion from around the clock feedings also can have a dramatic impact on sex drive.

Answer 3

Yes: Breastfeeding is a big part of a new mom's daily life, and does influence her sex drive. The influence can be for the better or for the worse, depending on many, many factors (such as her views on breastfeeding, how easy or hard it is for her to breastfeed, her body image, her relationship with her husband, etc. . ..).

Answer 4

Nursing and sex: Of course, every woman is different, and many nursing mothers report that breastfeeding doesn't affect their libido one way or another. Some even feel more sexual than their bottle-feeding peers, finding breastfeeding an extremely pleasant, and even sensual, experience that can translate into amorous feelings for their partner.

Answer 5

Yes: Usually after the first few weeks the pattern of stooling can change from after every feed to every two or three days, sometimes even longer. If the baby is urinating, gaining weight and is comfortable this is not a problem.

Answer 6

Yes: If a baby is eagerly and happily breastfeeding each day, if he has no tummy aches nor bloating, and if his poops are quite soft, then it is ok for him to poop only once every few days. He is digesting all the breastmilk, and using almost all of it to maintain and grow his body (leaving very little solid material to make poop). The water in the milk is absorbed and later urinated out as pee.

Answer 7

No: Generally, no. Pregnancy does cause sleep related problems, most notably due to discomfort and/or anxiety, and this can increase problems with depression. After delivery, sleep deprivation can add to this. Good mental health includes personal time, exercise and nutrition and deficiencies in any one do increase your risk.

Answer 8

Not necessarily: I need to have more information what you mean. If you aren't able to sleep (insomnia or early morning wakening with difficulty falling back to sleep) that may be a sign that some depression is starting. However, many pregnant women may have difficulty getting comfortable especially as they get larger or have to awaken to use the bathroom. So i would advise you to discuss this with your ob-gyne.

Answer 9

No: Back sugery shouldn't elevate your blood pressure.

Answer 10

Unlikely: Previous back surgery should have no effect on blood pressure during pregnancy or any other time for that matter. It more likely related to pregnancy and should be discussed with the OB doctor.

Answer 11

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.
