Confused?!? TMI

[yrose20118]

Hiya,

Right I am breastfeeding my son but have been weaning him for a month.

I havent had a period yet, I thought I was getting one 6 weeks ago but nope, just a pinky mucus, similar in texture to the stuff you get as you ovulate.

I have been feeling wet all day and having clear mucus thats stretchy... I was intrigued so I did an OPK... and nope not ovulating...

What is going on???

Any ideas ladies

a lot of mums dont get periods till theyve stopped bfing

We started solids at 6 months and I got my first period when he was 12 months (on his birthday ) but I haven't had one since. You're cycles or lack there of can be all over the place when BFing so I wouldn't worry

I got my period at only 6 weeks pp and I'm exclusively breastfeeding
You could be having stretchy mucous for up to a week before you ovulate so you would have to keep on taking an opk everyday before you catch it. Also your cycle/body will most likely be weird for a few months before everything regulates.

Are you weaning as in starting solids or weaning as in weaning him off the breast? I think the term has different meanings depending on if you're in the UK or in North America.

If you mean starting solids then you might still not get it. We started solids at around 4.5 months casually and then regularly at 5.5 months and I still don't have mine.

If you mean you're weaning him off the breast it may not return until you've fully weaned him and it's been a few weeks.
