4 months ago i finally started my period, the 1st since the birth. the first 3 month were scheduled normal periods, on or around the 1st of the month, but not this 4th month i have not gotten my poeriod. I am not 15 day ovr due and 3 pregnancy test stating that i am not pregnant. My little one still breast feeds usually at night or early morning But not a lot, and lately it seems as tho she is just doing it for the comfer becuase she isnt drinking. what could be causing the lack of menstration this month???

It is not unusual to have irregular periods while breastfeeding and after giving birth. Pregnancy is only one reason for not having a period, losing too much weight too quickly, gaining too much weight, stress, illness all can affect your periods. I would still use birth control of some sort if you don't want to become pregnant and if miss an entire cycle or are concerned, I would see your doctor.
