Alright, I`m sick of this! My son is 5 months on jan. 31st, I am breastfeeding him and startin him on solids. (He eats home made baby food once in a while, not everyday or 3x`s a day yet, he`s very attatched to my breast) he only nurses a total of 15 mins and eats every hour or so.. My breast have been sore for a few days and I`ve ben having white thick discharge, so just like I did when I was pregnant, and just like I did when I was pregnant. My husband and I have had unprotected sex 2ce (no p.o method, we used spermicidal suppositories, which I researched and they`re meant as a birthcontrol WITH the pill, condoms, or whatever... my bad) Anyway I`ve also been having cramps and slight constipation.. I took like 4 test and they`re all negative.. What`s going on! I want my period sooo bad. And I`m not losing weight! I thought when you breastfeed you lose weight? I haven`t lost anything and I excersize and eat right! I`m depressed, and scared.. Please help Thank you Ps I know the only way to figure it out for sure is if I go to the drs we don`t have insurance anymore or $ to do so... so any other ideas?

You use more calories making milk, but your body hangs on to baby fat too to make milk. Relax, enjoy the baby they don't stay babies forever..

luvbeingamom - 1108 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i never lost weight while bf. I had on and off cramping for 8 months (around the time my period should have been) before every getting a period. I exclusively bf for 7 months before introducing solids. I got my first period 13 months PP and my second 15 mo PP. I wouldn't worry. I would however have protected sex if you don't wnat another baby. Just b/c you don't have a period doesn't mean you aren't ovulating. But if the tests have all come out neg and it has been at least 5 weeks since the last time you had unprotected sex, you aren't pregnant and you are prob just having a 'fake' period now. Be thankful you don't have it, they aren't fun. Exp the first few after giving birht!
