breastfeeding period ovulation

It also depends on if you breastfeed. I didn't have a period for several months after birth because I was breastfeeding exclusively and that can suppress ovulation.

re breastfeeding it might be a while yet before your period comes back. Breastfeeding tends to hinder that process.

Breastfeeding can make ovulation and periods irregular but can't cause false positive on a pregnancy test.

That can stop your cycle but not necessarily stop ovulation.... If you have a normal period then yes that means you are ovulating. ( considering you don't have any health issues ) hope this helped.

Yes, you can get pregnant now. Breastfeeding normally delays ovulation but you won't have any way to know for how long. I have breastfed all 5 of my kids and the return of my period has varied from child to child. Don't know if you are breastfeeding. There is no way to know for sure when ovulation will return for you. You won't know for sure until you have your first period but that would mean that you ovulated a couple of weeks before that.

I had a period for two days last month on April 11-12. It was exactly six days after my ovulation date so I thought it was implantation bleeding but now, only 21 days later I'm bleeding again. My period came 12 days early this time. Last month it was 8 days early. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? For the past 2 years I've been pretty normal give or take a few days.

Yes because you ovulate before your period arrives so you may not have got your first period yet but that could be because you've fertilised the egg that would caused that first period had you become pregnant. It isn't all that common as breastfeeding suppresses ovulation in a lot of women but it not extremely rare either.

VERY MUCH NOT TRUE Latrice!!! Breastfeeding will typically delay ovulation for most women. The problem is, you may not have known that you ovulated until it's too late, thus the pregnancy occuring. What I mean is that you may go months without a period (after your initial bleed from your delivery). Well, once you have your first period, you will have ovulated a couple of weeks before your period, possibly without even knowing it. So yes, you can get pregnant while breastfeeding.

It is possible to get pregnant again before you have your period. Are you breastfeeding? You could very well already be pregnant if you have not had your first cycle and you are not breastfeeding. Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Your doc will just use your first day of your last period. Ovulation is not the best for deciding when you because pregnant as sperm can live for a few days.

I had lessened nursing him before and did have a 6 day light period at the end of November (7 weeks ago). After that period, I tracked and tested for ovulation and it never came to my knowledge. I took a pregnancy test today and it was negative. When can I expect the return of ovulation/fertility, and is there anything I can do to quicken its return? Thank you!

t get it until they start weaning, some will have it randomly, and some will have it like normal. Same goes for ovulation so I would not count on breastfeeding as a means of birth control.

s possible to have periods without ovulating because of breastfeeding. Do you know of anyone that was breastfeeding, resumed their period at 4 months pp that was able to conceive right away being 40+ (soon 41)?

Occasionally I also getting a pulsating pain in my lower abdomin up to the belly button area. I was wondering if this is my period starting or if it could be the first ovulation since giving birth? I'm not too sure what to make of it, I have also had less of an appetite today. Any opinions would be splendid! :) Hope all are well!

I thought you where at your most fertile after giving birth as your hormones were high.

-( Started trying again when my oldest was 8 months (would have tried earlier but took that long for my period to come back with breastfeeding) and then after 6 months gave up on charting, stopped trying and got a new job. Two weeks after accepting my new position found out number 2 was on their way!

Of those who choose not to breastfeed, approximately 80% of women find their period has returned by ten weeks. Breastfeeding can delay menstruation and ovulation for around 20 weeks or more, however it is not uncommon to find your period returning sooner or much longer than 20 weeks. http://www.bellybelly.com.

Everyone is different, there is no set period for when you do indeed get your period after birth when breastfeeding. My friend was 8 months pregnant and breastfeeding and had NO period when she became pregnant. She was utterly shocked, so anything is possible.

I stopped breastfeeding 3 months ago. I still have not had a period. I have done the Answer 20 day ovulation testing to detect and LH surge and all results were negative. I have also taken pregnancy tests just to be sure and they were negative also. Do I need to seek medical help? Can I be ovulating with no period or LH surge detected?

Hi! Here is the definition of galactorrhea: 1. Any white discharge from the nipple that is persistent and looks like milk. 2. Continued discharge of milk from the breasts between intervals of nursing or after the child has been weaned. What you are probably experiencing, considering your doctor stated you have this, is the continued decrease in estrogen production that happens while you are breastfeeding.

Yes of course you can. Breastfeeding CAN delay ovulation but isn't a guarantee - I nursed my son for two years but got my cycle back within three months. And of course you will ovulate before having a normal period so there's no way to know whether you're fertile or not. Protection is your best bet - and since hormones are so crazy in those first few months postpartum it's best to use condoms in addition to the hormonal BC of your choosing.

I breastfed for 18 months, did not have a period in that time and did not conceive during that time either. But it is possible to conceive during the breastfeeding phase, all that has to happen is that your hormones for ovulation have to be stronger than the prolactin that causes the breast milk. One ovulates, one can get pregnant.

my husband and I have 4 kids right now.... with my 3 previous postpartum bleeding when they stopped my period came back 2 weeks after and always had period between 28-30 days. my last child is 3 months old on the 14th. my period has not shown up yet, but I'm breastfeeding exclusively. my husband said that he wants to TTC again. but we have been having unprotected sex since June 19th. if already taken 3 pregnancy test last month and all of them are negative.

t regular, but I know I am ovulating again due to having my periods so I have to be careful. Breastfeeding often delays when ovulation will return, but as to when, it is different with everyone.

A couple weeks later I had a period, but since then (6 months) I have not had another period and according to ovulation strips, I am not ovulating. My dr. ran bloodwork and everything was normal. Does anyone have any suggestion to bring back fertility or know what could be going on?

I'm currently breastfeeding been doing it since birth my daughter is almost 5 months and have only seen one period is that normal or can I be pregnant again. Yes I was on the pill but stopped taking it after the first month.

Your last question is a very valid one. I am now wondering if my eggs were still dropping because I am now 7 weeks without the mirena and I am not ovulating nor have I had a period. They say the mirena doesn't affect ovulation, but if it doesn't then how come you don't get a period. There is so much conflicting information on this thing its making me angry. I wish I had looked into it more before letting my dr talk me into it.
