Since it matters, she'll be 20 months old tomorrow and still breastfeeds, though generally sleeps through the night.

No period. I don't know when I should start being concerned.


Diagnosed with UC at age 12, 1993
Complete collectomy in 1995 at age 14, four-step process due to complications.
Hit by car at 19 (2000), resulting in ruptured pouch.
Pouch repaired at 23 (2004).
Diagnosed infertile, bi-lateral blockage at 24 (2003).
IVF in 2008 and 2009
Had our miracle-daughter December 3, 2009, in a home-birth, and I'd do it again!!

Don't give up!!

probably normal since you're still breastfeeding. Ask your dr if you are concerned


God is Good. All the time.

I was period free until 3 months after I stopped breast feeding (due to UC). Of course, it came back the very week we were on a Carribean cruise!


UC Dx: 9/2008
Step 1: 7/7/2009
Step 2: 11/18/2009
Sacral Nerve Stimulator:
Stage 1: 3/1/2012
Stage 2: 3/20/2012

Surgery was the best decision I made!
