Irregular periods over 9 months postpartum

Heyyy! So, as the title says, I’m over 9 months postpartum and rn I keep on getting my period roughly every 19 days which is quite annoying and I don’t know if anyone else is in the same boat? I breastfed for 2.5 months so I’ve had my period back for a while now and I thought by now it’s become regular but it’s still all over the place. Do you guys think it’s normal in the first year or should I see a gp? I know the first thing they’ll say is “do you want to go on the pill?”

I'm in a similar boat, im EBF little one is now 10 months and for the last couple of months I've been on my period every other week so roughly every 7-10 days. I'm not sure whether to see a GP either as I know they will 100% just suggest contraception and I don't want it!!

Hi, I’m still breastfeeding my 9 month old but i don’t get periods just cramps every so often. GP told me everyone is different when they breastfeed so it’s just how my body copes with it but if your not breastfeeding anymore and still having issues then might be best to contact your GP x

I’m also very irregular vs being like clockwork before. Mix feeding but 90% formula now

Looking for friends

Hey laddies. I’m 27 year olds I’m a mom of 2 girls. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I want to make some new friends I get bored I realize I don’t have any more friends. I stay in Tennessee. Also I’m a Virgo. Let’s be friends 🥰

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Feeling stupid

I got drunk last night and had unprotected sex he didn’t cum in me but I’m ovulating
And having pain and I’m freaking out

Can I take morning after pill when already ovulating/ ovulated
And is there any safe for breastfeeding

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
