A member asked:

I'm nursing and on the pill i've got my period a few times now but the last 2 months i haven't gotten it is that normal or is it possible i'm pregnant?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

That is: Not abnomral, both breast feeding and the pill can cause bleeding changes, take a pregnancy test if nervous but its low probablity. Congradulations.
