hi i have 3 boys. my youngest is 4months 3weeks. i had an iud inserted when he was a month old. i went back in when he was 2 months to have the string trimmed. he slowed way down on breastfeeding when he was 2 months and stopped completely when he was 3 months. so it's been almost 2 months since he breast fed and i still haven't had a period. with my oldest son i started my period as soon as he slowed down on breastfeeding at 8 months. with my middle son i got my period as soon as he slowed down at 5 months....so my question is, is it possible that i'm pregnant or is my iud delaying it?

Hi, sorry I don't know much about iud's or how they would affect your cycle, but I do remember that my af didn't start for several months after I stopped breastfeeding my first son (he was 4 months old). And he wasn't even nursing most of the time I was pumping & bottle feeding... so it may take a while for af to resume, I imagine it's very unlikely you are pg again with an iud and so soon after breastfeeding. But if you're worried you should call the dr.

Hope that helps a little!
