Question

My child is two and a half years old, and I recently weaned her. My periods were usually very regular, coming around the 3rd of the month, but this month they haven’t arrived yet, and I’ve confirmed that I’m not pregnant. I had a particularly abundant milk supply when breastfeeding. Could suddenly stopping breastfeeding disrupt my period? If I continue to observe three months without my period, should I go to the hospital? Are there any methods to test how to get my period quickly?

Answer

According to your description, yes. During the period of breastfeeding or weaning, the body’s endocrine system may undergo changes that could affect the timing of your menstrual cycle. However, after excluding the possibility of pregnancy, we need to consider other factors that may influence your period. Here are some suggestions for the question “Will weaning my two-and-a-half-year-old affect my period?” I hope this helps and wish you good health.
