I had the same thing happen. I got mine about 2-3 months PP and then it was like clockwork for a few months. Then nothing, then it was right back to normal. It worried me and my hubby so I took a test (well...a few haha) it they were all negative. Since then I got an IUD and now I dont have one at all. If you are concerned about being pregnant again it doesnt hurt to take a test, but yes, its totally normal. Good luck!

I've heard of other moms who breastfeed having sporadic periods. But since it's been 3 months have you taken a pregnancy test just to be sure? I conceived both my second and third children while exclusively breastfeeding. My period returned at 6 weeks PP with my daughter and 9 weeks PP with my son.

I am exclusively breastfeeding my almost five month old daughter and got my period about 2 months after giving birth, now I thought my period would be a regular occurance and thought myself very unlucky to have had my period back, But now it is a no-show!

Any one else experiance this?
