Irregular Menstruation During Lactation

I was so happy with my period. He had been without it 32 months to 23 months baby. As I already beginning to be time for me and both physically and psychologically he felt he needed. So when he came I felt good, a little disrupted emotionally at first, but very happy to feel my body back again activated in this regard.

The first rules after returning menstruation during lactation were great. The five or six first cycles were surprisingly punctual and short for what I was used to, nothing painful or uncomfortable. In short, I was thrilled!

But after the first six months of punctuality, the thing has run riot enough. My recent cycles have been 31 days, 26 days, 38 days, 48 days and 28 days. Many irregularity.

I can not say that surprised me too much because I've always been irregular (probably because my ovaries produce many follicles and "the chosen" costs mature). But in cycles between the two children it was not so marked irregularity or never had such long cycles.

Needless to say that in the cycle of 48 days I mosquee a bit. The previous cycle had been long but when they began to spend days and no sign of the rule, could not help mentally review daily if they had made a slip and came another baby on the way. You'd have guasa the thing after much it has cost us bake our children we had given the target of unsought rebound!

The truth is that although baby has always sucked frequently and abundantly, yes that was a period in which espaciaba more shots (probably coincident with those first super punctual cycles) and have lately become a very frequent breastfeeding but also shorter , now almost always in the form of shots (at least during the day).

Surely this is what explains the current irregularity. In short, feeding and menses are given hand: the baby breast, raises prolactin, can inhibit LH (and thus ovulation), lower estrogen, may also progesterone and thus may vary menstruation or even not reach.

In my case, I am convinced that at least that long cycle of 48 days was a anaovulatorio cycle because although there was nothing pending do remember thinking at some point I had not seen any sign of fertility patterns that I usually see in other cycles, for example in my case I find it very easy to see the cervical mucus of fertile type and I'm almost sure that in that cycle did not appear.

Analysis I did not long ago, they were perfect. So there is no more important than having nothing rollete clear how long the cycle will be. Even with the conviction that with frequent breastfeeding as ours is quite possible that some of my cycles are being anaovulatorios, the more trusted it!

Would you have gone? Because I am convinced that there are many nursing moms out there with menstrual irregularities, right?
