Period about a week late?
My period is about a week late. I just want to know if it is normal for me to miss a period while breastfeeding. My son is 5 months old and I have been exclusively breastfeeding him since he was born. I have had a normal period for those five months so could I all of a sudden not have one now? I know it is normal to not have a period while breastfeeding but is it normal for it to all of a sudden stop after five months? I have had serious problems with my ovaries that is the only reason that I worry. Oh and I know that I am not pregnant.

No, not "normal" if you have been having regular periods for months.
Worth calling your doctor and being checked.

It is normal especially after a pregnancy. You period has been off for 9 months. And some girls (including myself) sometimes get periods as late as 2-2 and a half weeks later! It's not a big deal, but if you don't get it within 2 months, consult your physician.

Definitely normal. You've had a huge chance happen in your life and your body, and especially while breastfeeding it can be irregular.
