A member asked:

What if periods did not come even after 1 yr of delivery. i am exclusively breast feeding my lo. should i see doc or wait some more months?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessary: If you are still breastfeeding, it's perfectly okay that you haven't had a menstrual cycle (yea, right!?). After you stop breastfeeding, it may be 30-45 days before a cycle. You can get pregnant (you probably know this), even with breastfeeding and no period, as you can release an egg before you have a period.
