Super nervous and looking for some reassurance

Yes. Periods are often irregular postpartum especially if breastfeeding. The articles I read said less than 5% of women get pregnant again within the first 6 months of having a baby if breastfeeding. It is possible which is why the doctors push birth control, but it is much less likely than other times. If you are pregnant or not life is good and it will work out. You got this momma!
My first two cycles were normal and then my third was like 6 days late… chalked it up to wonky hormones while breastfeeding. Try to relax and if you’re like me just take a pregnancy test to calm your nerves 😅
Yes! My period is about a week late now! I took a pregnancy test just to be sure and and it was negative. Taking the test soothed my worries. Good luck mama!
I still haven't had my period. Abs have birth the 1st of July
@Alexi I'm pumping, not directly breastfeeding, so hopefully that works out too.
@Jarusha yes I just haven't gone out and gotten one yet. But I probably should just to put my mind at ease. I can't remember what it was like with my first but I feel like I had some close together bleeding.
@Diomaris_ not to worry, many women don’t get periods at all with an IUD
@Katie me too, it’s been nice. I’m hopeful it won’t come back any time soon.
I’m in the same boat. I’m exclusively pumping and got my period relatively early (8wks PP) and then haven’t again. I heard periods are irregular post partum but took a pregnancy test to be sure. Not pregnant. I think taking a test will help calm your nerves.
I did take one yesterday and it's negative! So all is good probably just irregular
My period is been late and acting super funny too after giving birth in July I only had my period once. I got the IUD, I don’t know if maybe that’s why
