A member asked:

Still nursing 16 month old frequently. i get my period every 21-26 days. is this normal or too frequent? feel fine otherwise.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Periods/BF: It is within normal cycling to get periods q 3-4 weeks. Without increased bleeding or fatigue, it is ok to stay on BF regimen and timing.
