Pumping, periods and pain

[Teri7489]

I'm not really sure what's going on but I'm slightly worried. Over the past few weeks I've reduced from pumping/feeding 4 times a day to 3 as I plan to stop nursing in the next few months. I've started getting period pains but no bleed at all. Since I don't use any contraception (stopped my pill as was giving Me blinding headaches) I'm worried it may be pregnancy! I know I know, test but I'm terrified. Is it more likely to be related to my supply reducing?

I had cramping for close to a month before i finally got my first period (one year post partum). I'm not clear, have you had your period since giving birth or are you still waiting?

I've had one, a few months ago. But nothing since, and the cramping just comes and goes. Usually I gave full on really painful cramps for days with my period.

I know I would have random cramping a lot when I started cutting feeds months before actually getting my period with my first two. I never got my period until weaning them. I do remember taking random pregnancy tests because of it and it made me feel better seeing the negative test lol I say test just in case.
