I'm currently 34 years old, breastfeeding my 15 month old son. He's slowing down on nursing sessions-most days we get 3 or 4 sessions in. (Bedtime--some nights, naptime, once during the night, and breakfast). We've been following this pattern for a couple months now. My period still hasn't returned. Sex is extremely painful--we've only attempted 3 times since he was born. Am I in early menopause? I thought with the reduction in nursing, things would return to normal by now.
