Still no period

I gave birth in June 2023 and I still haven’t had a period? I’m still breastfeeding (quite a lot sometimes every 2 hours at night) should I be concerned? I’m not sure if it’s stress related also as I’ve been having a stressful time with my child’s father since the moment I gave birth

If you breastfeed the baby you don't have periods. Once you stop, the period comes back in a couple of months.

Probably a mix of both. Stress and hormones alot of people don't seem to have periods when they're breastfeeding as its a hormonal thing x

@Olga interesting but also wrong. I breastfed both my babies (one til 4m and the other until 17m) and my period returned 8-9wks pp both times. Incognito it could be that you’re still breastfeeding and stress - especially if stress was known to delay/throw off your period before pregnancy

Like others mentioned it could be a combo of both. My sister only got her period after she dropped all of her day feeds but I got my period 3 months pp even though I was exclusively breastfeeding.. so it can differ quite a bit. If you're concerned just get yourself checked.

@Sharnee that may be true for yourself but breastfeeding is known to stop periods. Some don't get them until they reduce the amount of feeds or completely stop.
