Hello dear user! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns! Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic. Don't worry about your period. The amnorrhea you have is quite normal while on breastfeeding. This is called lactational amenorrhea, and period may be missed from some weeks to some months in different women. This is due to milk hormone (prolactin) which is highly produced when you breastfeed your baby. I hope this answer was helpful to you! Please kindly rate it as helpful and write a short review about your experience with me! I would appreciate that a lot. Thank you and best regards! DR ERIOL.
