Jerico Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I got my first postpartum period back after baby three (born feb 2012) in dec of 2012. I was regular- every 28 days until may/June when my period was an entire week late. Since then it has varied between 27-30 days. One whole week late in November. Now, 6 days late. I'm just asking I I should go in for this. I did mention it to my regular doctor but she didn't say anything about it, of course she also wasn't helpful with the issue I actually went in for.... So... Please advise. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssavings Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'd probably call and ask what they recommend, but not schedule an appointment unless they tell me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Grace Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I wouldn't. Sometimes periods are just unpredictable. But if you pay attention to your cervical fluid, you can know when it's coming (2 weeks after ovulation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umsami Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Does the irregularity of your periods concern you or do you think you might be pregnant? Honestly, it can take quite awhile for periods to return to a regular schedule postpartum… even if one isn't breastfeeding. (If breastfeeding, it can be even longer.) What was the norm cycle pre-pregnancy may have changed as well. For me, I'd hold off…and if I thought I was pregnant, I'd pick up a test.

catz Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I've varied from 28-35 days my entire adult life, so that wouldn't freak me out at all without other issues. If you're due for an exam though, I'd mention it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I'd only bother mentioning it if I was at my regular exam. I used to be perfectly every 29 days. About 4 years ago that all changed. Now I'm every 26-32 days with no rhyme or reason. It happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
