hi, i have breastfed my 23 month old son till about a month ago, but i did bottles in the day and breast to get to sleep then breast if he woke at night!
In august we went on holiday and i increased my breastfeeding sometimes to earlier in the evening as hard to get bottles warmed up!
I have been on the mini pill all the time, and mostly having very regular periods, which have now stopped, has this happened to you, the chemist said it's because i increased breast feeding! I have since virtually weaned him off breastfeeding!
I have taken pregancy tests which are neg!
thanks!

He's right, increasing your breastfeeding will postpone or delay your period.
If you've just about weaned him, you can expect your period any time in the next couple months. Breastfeeding affects the hormones in your body in a good way. It's GOOD that you haven't had many periods--they say that the reason mums who breastfeed have less breast and ovarian cancers is that they had fewer periods.
All that being said, it's possible to be pregnant and have a negative pregnancy test. You should have a test in a doctors office to be sure.
I also breastfed my first until he was past 24 months, way to go! It's amazing, isn't it!

give it another week and re-test. Your hormones may be off from the increase then weaning. if you have been on the pill and taking it correctly then you have only a slim chance of pregnancy. call you dr to get a check-up, now that you have weaned you can switch to a stronger form of pill. Good lcuk
