I had my first Post Partum Period in August, when my DD was 6 months old. I went to the gyno and started the mini-pill in September. I had 4 periods after that, and they were 2 weeks apart and weird bleeding, sort of light. Now it's been a little over 4 weeks since I've had one and I'm psyching myself out about it. It would be an absolute act of God if I were pregnant - because I'm breastfeeding, take the mini-pill almost perfectly (have maybe been a couple hours late 3 times) and my boyfriend and I use a condom EVERY time. I can't be pregnant. I also took a HPT 2 days ago and it was negative, but I'm almost 2 weeks late. Is it true that you can have a post partum period and then not have one for a few months? I've heard that somewhere. Or that it could just take a while for it to regulate? Thanks in advance for any advice or comfort you can offer on the matter!! ha ha

The mini pill and breastfeeding, not to mention having had a baby 8 months ago or so is more than cause enough for weird periods. You wont cycle normally until after your done breastfeeding, in some cases even if you're not breast feeding it can take a year for your period to regulate... throw a mini pill in there (which are hormones) and it messes it all up.
It'll take a few months for it to be normal. Since you're on the pill with the breastfeeding you might not get it hardly at all.

You can get prego on the pill too. I would go in and get checked just in case and if not have them adjust your pill or something. People do get pregante breastfeeding too. Just so you know its not fool proof.
