Ive been wondering why I haven’t gotten mine, currently 8 months postpartum and breastfeeding. Thanks for sharing!

My son is now 17 months old and I still haven't got it and I honestly don't miss it 😅

I breastfeed all three of my babies. I got my period a month 30-45 days after I gave birth.

I am an 11 year old girl and I haven’t gotten my period in 2 months I have started but it’s been 2 months so any explanation would be nice but I ain’t complaining it’s better without it

I.got my first period 4 months after giving birth even though I breastfed at least every 3 hours. Quite annoying...
