Worried about something.....

[Limonada]

I have been exclusively BFing my 9 month old since birth, aside from 4oz. of formula per day right before bed and his solids and a bit of water, of course.  I did have a "blip" in that, though, at the end of September when I didn't feed him for a day and half (I pumped 3-4 times during that time, though) because I was trying to wean him.  (Long story, but he's on the small side the doctor had recommended I wean....but after speaking to a couple of La Leche League leaders and based on my own observations of my son being happy, healthy and active AND based on the fact that my son was resisting weaning tooth and nail, I didn't end up following through with the weaning and went back to feeding him, 3 times per day, after that day and a half break).

I haven't had my period start up yet but, in the last week, I've been feeling crampy (like menstrual crampy) off and on.....but still no sign of AF.  Should I be concerned?  I was thinking that the "blip" in feeding might have been a signal to my body to start back up with AF again.....but nothing - yet.  Maybe the cramping was ovulation?  I don't know....

I'm also on Micronor (mini pill) and have been since 6 weeks PP, but haven't had any side affects from taking that.

Any experiences?  Last time, I didn't get a period until I was completely done BFing, not even while I was gradually weaning my first son.  And my first AF came, like clockwork, within a month after stopping....and wasn't any different than normal.

Thanks Ivy :)

At this point, I just want AF back if she is indeed coming.....the off and on cramping is annoying.  Plus I've had a bit more discharge than normal, but nothing crazy....

Unless things get worse or extra weird in the meantime, I'll probably wait and ask my GP about when I take Gil in for his next check up towards the end of the month.

it's hard to say, girl....you know my theory on your cycle, lol. I do know that I get random odd cramping from the Micronor sometimes and I get EWCM twice a month now instead of just around O....it could just be the progestrone messing with your system or it could mean that AF is coming back....

are you worried that it is or isn't coming back?
