anyone have any advice????

Sorry, I was at work. Got home about 2 hours ago and was about to get some shut eye.

Have you taken another pregnancy test?

No I haven't yet! Guess I am a little worrid about doing one! But is it normal for me not to have a period? How long does it take your body to get back to normal after pregnancy?

You say that you're on the pill, so you should have a period, at least that's my experience.

I've had two children. With the first I breast fed but went on the pill when he was 6 weeks old. I didn't want back to back pregnancies.

Around 3 weeks after starting the pill I got my period.

With the second I breastfed but didn't go on the pill. I didn't have a period for almost 2 years because I breastfed until my daughter was well over 2.

No, this is not a reliable form of birth control, seeing as you ovulate before you get a period and with breastfeeding you never know when your body will get back into the game. ;)

Take a pregnancy test. You may be pregnant again without having a period in between.

I breastfed my son until he was 3 months old and have only been on the pill for about a week but that's the only time me and my other half had had sex as I wasn't comfortable enough to do it before!!

The possibility of pregnancy exists but I'm going to go out on a limb (J9 don't shoot me) and say that I don't think you're pregnant.

If you've only been on the pill for a week then it's too early to tell.

Breastfeeding suppresses your period, suppresses ovulation. Like I said before, the only bad thing about relying on breastfeeding as birth control is the fact that you never know when your body will start ovulating again, and ovulation occurs before your period.

Many women have had back to back pregnancies without having a period in between.

I breastfed religiously for almost 3 years (ya, I know, I didn't plan it that way, it just happened) and I got my period at shortly before the 2 year mark.

We're all different and breastfeeding is not a reliable form of birth control, so again, the possibility exists.

The thing is, you've been on the pill for a week, so you're not yet due for a period. Wait until the pack is done, then, if you don't get a period, test for pregnancy.

Of course you could always go to your doctor and express your concern.

I would be willing to bet $10 that you aren't, but I've been wrong before, so don't count on it. ;)

Really, wait until you're actually due for a period, after you BC is done, then worry. Realize that worrying can also affect your period. Too many things to worry and not worry about, right? Men have it easier. ;)

Keep us updated. :)

Thank you, I will just wait to after I have finished it and see what happens! I will let you know what happens! Even know I'm not breastfeeding anymore my breats still leak slightly to that's why I was a little worrid!

Thank you for your advice.
