Weaning and periods? Anyone?

Hi everyone!

I got regular periods every month when nursing even though a lot of women don't and now that I have stopped nursing I haven't had a period in 33 days!

Has anyone else missed a period right after stopping nursing? For over a week I have had constant cramping, like menstrual cramps but not AF!

And to rule out pregnancy, my husband was snipped two months ago and we always always always use condoms until we get the all-clear from the doctor on him (it takes 3 months for the man to be sterile after being snipped).

I picked up a test this morning out of paranoia and it was negative....sooooooo?

Anyone else go through this when they stopped breastfeeding?

Update:

Ashley: Did you normally get your period when you were breastfeeding as well?
