Absent Cycle After Baby

When should I expect to return to menstruation after having a baby? I had a baby at the beginning of May 2007 (after a no-problem pregnancy), breast-fed until August, had a period in August and at the end of Nov, and have not had one since. Shouldn't my cycle be increasingly regular not just disapear? I am not on birth control as my husband and I would love more children. Every couple weeks I have had negative pregnancy tests and I have no symtoms of pregnancy. I have always had irregular periods (8-10 a year), problems with acne, and since the baby my libido has been low. Could these be signs that my hormones are off? I am 22 and generally healthy otherwise. Should I be concerned?

Welcome annb507.


Congratulations on your recent addition!


Because of your history of irregular periods, I am not surprised that your periods are no more regular now.
