Post partum period
I am an active pumper. I pump every 3-4 hours during the day and not at night. I didn't have a period until April (right before my baby turned 7mo) I'm not on birth control (yes I know the risks. We pull out. Yes, I know it is not full proof) but anyways, I figured my period was back so I made sure to have stuff (when it came back I was at college with no supplies!!! I didn't think it was going to happen) Now it is the 18th of May and to my surprise, she is not here.
Have anyone else experienced irregular cycles? With my first I went to formula after 6-8 weeks so I had regular cycles.
Pumping this long is new to me. Any advice welcome!

I think it is normal, but its different for everyone. I exclusively BF'd for 13 months, i only pumped here and there but my cycle came back when my son was 6 months old and was irregular, 30 days, 31 days, 38 days, 36days, it was all over the place. My SIL is an exclusive pumper and didn't get hers back until she stopped pumping all together. So everyone is different but if its over 40 days I would take a HPT. GL
