Breastfeeding for 16 months, no birth control for a year. have not been able to get pregnant again. what am i doing wrong? period came back awhile ago

No problem!: Hi! I'm Dr. Ivy Fisher, a pedi MD with health tap. I would not worry, stress and anxiety can reduce ability to become pregnant. However, the breast feeding was fine, just eat a broad diet and exercise and hormonal regulation will occur in time. You can also check in with your GYN MD for further evaluation if it persists.
