Are you on birth control? I am… my daughter has been weaned for 7 months now and occasionally I spot. That’s about it.
You just never know.

Well Do you have an IUD? It makes a HUGE difference if you have an IUD (the reason I’m asking is because many women do) Normal time is about 1-3 months for you period to return, but I have an IUD so mine never returned.

I was not taking birth control and was breastfeeding and I started my period again when my daughter was 5 months old. I breastfed for a year.

I stopped Breastfeeding in February. And I had my period in April. That I came back or which I thought it was. I had surgery March 31 which got my tubes tied. April 17 seem like a period for me. This month I haven’t got my period. I don’t know because of my tubes being tied or it not coming back to normal. I haven’t had sex yet with my man. So I know for sure I am not pregnant.
