I am a nursing mom of 8 month old baby. I got my first period after delivery on May 1st of 2009.Next was on June 7th, July 8th, August 8th, September 4th. Unfortunately I forgot the date in october, but it was on someday in the first week. So, when can I expect my next period? I was expecting on November 1st.Now it's 3rd of November. I took a home pregnancy test on November 1st and 2nd and it came out negative. Don't know why I'm not getting my period. Please help me!

If you are nursing your periods most likely will not stay regular. You may skip a month or two here and there. It's quite normal actually.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was wondering because my periods were almost regular.In that case also is there possibilities of late period? Don't think I'm bothering you. :) just tensed!

Whenever you are nursing there is always a risk for late or missed periods. However, pregnancy can be a cause as well.

Wait another week. If you don't get your period try testing again. Remember to use first morning urine.

Thank you so much for responding.Now little relaxed. :)
