hi there,
i have a 5 month old daughter that i am still breastfeeding. I have not yet gotton my period and i do use condoms when i have sex. but lately i have been feeling tired, peeing a little more often, stomache pains, lots of dizziness, maybe even a little bit of nausea. Also i cant stop thinking about it, its just like a gut feeling, and thats exactly what happened when i got pregnant the first time. the thing is tho, i also have panic attacks so all of the symptoms may also just be that. ive already worked myself up about this so if im not prego, im gunna be pretty upset i think. so the question i have is, will i still have the same symptoms while breastfeeding and with no period as to a woman with a period but just hasnt gotton it?! Im confused and scared to take a home test, what do you think?!

I am breastfeeding as well. My son will be a year next week. I also have been having quite a few symptoms. My period has returned when he was about 8 1/2 months, but has been all out of wack since its return. So I think breastfeeding or not (period or not) you will still have the same symptoms. The one difference I think is breast soreness, swollen. I think if you have a baby that is breastfeeding you do not notice those symptoms. I hope this helps and answers your question.
