8 months ago i had my baby boy. i recently found out that pregnancy and breast feeding have left me with a serious iron and zinc deficincy. im am taking medication for it. wat i wanted to know was, for about 5 months now, my periods have been topsey turvey. after the baby was born i got them regular, as always. but ive only had 2 periods in 5 months. the weird thing is, on the date when my period is due, and for a week or so, i get pms and cramping....just no blood. are the deficincies to do with my periods going weird? i dont think its because my body is recovering from pregnancy coz my periods returned after 6 weeks, and were very regular to the day, as they had always been.

Periods tend to be irregular after giving birth when a woman is breastfeeding (as you indicated you are). Some women don't even get their period back for a year! And the women who do tend to get it a lot less.
It's definitely a question worth asking your doctor about. I'd think anemia would lessen your periods but not eliminate it altogether. It also may be worth making sure you're not pregnant again; it has been known to happen! Good luck! =)

well...as far as i know anemia doesnt have to do your circle..ok....its obvious that after pregnacy your organism is a lil bit valnurable...but thats only temporary..i am not a professional so you'd better ask one...or find someone here who is a doctor...
