Kris, > I had a call today from a LLL leader who had been contacted by a mom in her > group. The mother is nursing a 14 month old and is still amenorrheic. Her > doctor wants her to take progesterone to induce a period. He has told her > that if she goes longer than 3 months without a period, that she is > increasing her risk of uterine cancer. I would also like to know about this information, because I have been given the same advice - to take progesterone if periods are more than 3 months apart. I was amenorrheic for 16 months while breastfeeding, but I thought that was normal and protected against breast cancer. My "babies" are 5 now and are weaned so it wouldn't affect breastfeeding. Please email me privately with any information. Thanks. Marie Harnish, LLLL
