Question: Irregular periods after regular periods...

Hi all,

Just wanted to ask a wee question... Am experiencing irregular periods for the last two months running. Cycle usually lasts about 28 days (with maybe a 26, 27, 29 sort of one thrown in there for colour). But last month I had a cycle of 34 days. I though it was stress (was very busy with all deadline converging on a week)... This month am up to 37 and counting...

I have recently lost weight (as my ticker shows lol) with healthy eating and exercise. I am still breastfeeding and because we've all been rather unwell with a coxsackievirus type thing over the last two weeks bub's breastfeeds have been more regular than his usual 2-3 during the day one at bed time, becoming just whenever he wanted one.

There is no way I could be pregnant unless by immaculate conception (and there have been no other-worldly messages to suggest this!) and am hoping that menopause is still a ways off (am 25)... Any thoughts?

Would love to have any tips or hints... I am lactose intolerant but have soy on my cereal each morning and invariably eat things I oughtn't such as yoghurt and cottage cheese. I'm not vegetarian but we don't eat masses of meat however have never had an issue with my iron levels...

......?

Livvy, I was just about to ask the same question! lol, Thought I would just bump this one up instead.

I am a little confused as well, I have had 3 regular cycles now, still on the mini-pill. I was due for AF on/around the 6th and so far nothing. I did a test on Sat (10th) and got BFN.
DS has gone off solids a bit and has been feeding alot more so also wondering if this would affect cycles.. Will be doing another test today to make sure.

Hopefully someone will help us out with some advice :)

hey erin!

well must have been the universe answering my call... arrived the night i posted lol. but still, very weird. hoping will bounce back into 27-30 day cycles again (that used to be my outer limits) instead of 37 day cycle. i mean what is up with that!

just remember to treat yourself as if you are pregnant, just in case! for me, the whole no sex thing rules that out for me so was just confusing, but for you remember that there is a itty-bitty chance that someone else is tagging along lol. hope someone or something gives you the answers you're looking for soon! :)

have a wonderful day/week, and hopefully not too much more waiting! x
