I have 4 kids. With the first 3 my period returned 3 months postpartum like clockwork despite exclusively breastfeeding. This time I still haven’t had my period almost 7 months postpartum. I have had period like cramps each month but no spotting. For those of you who have nursed with delayed return of your period does this seem “normal”? Wasn’t sure if my age is playing a factor as I’m 36 now and I was 27, 29, and 34 with the other babies. Thanks!
Could you be pregnant? If you’ve been using bf as contraception it’s a possibility. My period didn’t come back for ages though! Maybe even nine months?

With all 5 mine was a Yr after. Then my 6th is nearly 8wk no period so think be same.
With my first I didn’t have a period for 7 to 8 months while ebf.
I had my first 7 years ago (I’m.now 35). It took 3 years for my period to come back (when I finished nursing/pumping) and every month I was terrified of being pregnant. I was also on birth control. But if you are as well that could be why
