How long without a period bofore seeing a doctor?
Question:
I had a baby 7 months later in November 06
I started having normal periods 2 months postpartum, January 07
My cycles were 35 days apart, but regular for 4 months thenn stopped. I have not had a period since June 1.
I know I am not pregnant (my husband had a vasectomy and I took a pregnancy test a few days ago just to make sure). I am breast feeding exclusively and I know that can delay mentruation, but I've never heard of it starting then stopping again.
How long should I wait to go to the doctor, considering I have only 1 ovary and I'm not pregnant? I'm afraid I will be told to go on the pill to regulate periods and I really don't want to.
Because I was pregnant during and after my surgery, I never got a feel for how my cycles would be and my doctor told me that most women have monthly periods because the remaining ovary does double the work.
Answers:
Just call your gynecologist office and ask to speak to the nurse. Explain to her what's going on and if she thinks you need to come in. Talking to someone at your Doctor's office where they have access to your medical records is going to give you better information than what you could get on answers. Good luck.
