Its called lactational amenorrhea. No need to worry , her menses will resume soon.Some use it as a form of contraception but the failure rate is high. Please take active steps towards prevention of pregnancy if you don't intend to have a baby soon.

My wife is yet 2 see her own even as our baby is a year and two months old now. Her mom is a retired nurse,so I believe if there is any problem she would have raised it with me. Don't fear,I think it is normal with some women.

On what I read today before I saw this tread. It is normal and called a safe period if you are still breast feeding your child((Fouth phase of mentral Cycle). In essence..IT IS NOT ABNORMAL going by the textbook I read.

Experience mothers in the house, please I need your candid advice on this serious issue of my wife, though nursing a baby of 10 months plus now, has not seen her period since she put to bed over 10 months. About 3 month after her delivery, we had intimacy and some weeks later, she said she felt as if she was pregant. This early pregnancy got us worried which I even shared on this thread some time past, but based on advices from good people, including from Nairalanders and a Nurse she visited, we were advised to keep the pregnancy. On an occassion, I had to ask her how was she feeling with the baby, thinking that she should be preparing to register for pre-natal, but her response was that she does feel as if there is a baby in her. I immediately asked her to go for a pregnancy test , which she did and came with a negative result. I was shocked bcause I was expecting a positive result. Now she said that on enquiry to know could be the problem and she has not seen her period months after putting to bed, she was told or counseled by the Doctor that delayed menstrual period is normal in some women, particularly nursing mothers who are breasfeeding. This situation worries me and I need to know from experienced mothers in the house what could be the likely cause of the delayed menses and if it possible for her to take in without her period. What could be the solution to this? I need answers seriously, to enable me get adequate solution for it. Thanks

I do not think it is a problem. My wife went on for about nine months with her menstrual period. We had our Angel via CS and she needed a while to get better. I will advise that that you don't worry about it as she will ultimately return to her previous cycle. I dont think there is any need to worry or start any form of medical intervention. But just for comfort...you may want to see a Doctor, but even if you dont, she will be fine. By now you would possibly have come to terms with the difficulty associated with looking after a child, so you may want to give her some break and allow her time to heal physically before putting her in the "family way" again. I personally had an "accidental discharge" not long after we had our Angel (even though we had a miscarriage on that occasion). Out of concern for her welfare, I wish I had given her sometime. But we are fine now. So dont worry about it...she will be fine.

Your wife does not have any problem you need not to worry.some see theirs after breastfeeding. When I gave birth to my set of twins. I did not see mine till after nine months.yes she can get pregnant because she is ovulating.she can do family planning until you are ready for another child.

Her mom is a nurse and not a doctor.. Its not Normal... Secondary Amenorrhea can be caused by alot of factors. Go to any lab and Order LSH, FSH, TSH and prolactin. I could help u diagonize the problem. Is your wife sill breastfeeding? Prolactin can have an inhibitory effect on the pituitary releasing of FSH and LSH.. Still 14 months is a long time....

For everyone reading this thread.
What the OP wife is what we call Secondary Amennorhea which can be caused by a lot of factors. Most times after delivery, because of breastfeeding, it is normal for a woman not to see her period for up to 6 weeks After done breastfeeding . No menstruation after 3 months POST breastfeeding requires a work up
After taking a history from the patient and performing a physical exam, You get an HCG level to make sure she's not pregnant AGAIN. we do what we call a progesterone challenge test. You give the woman a progesterone pill and see if she bleeds within 2 weeks. If she does not , u check LSH , FSH, prolactin,TSH. A high FSH can indicate premature ovarian failure, kind of a woman going into menopause. The lab values can guide you to the next step .. It's not rocket science bro, it's medicine .
