Period related questions!
Hi everyone, so I’m almost one full year postpartum and got my first period last month. Right before I got my period I had sex and I don’t know if the sex triggered my period bc right after doing it my period came immediately. According to my app I am now 6 days late.. I’m just wondering if it’s common for it to be abnormal during post partum?? I don’t think I’m pregnant, but I did get one of those painful leg cramps I’d get when I was pregnant so now I’m worried. But I am still breastfeeding and I heard that can irregulate period cycles.
Anyone else go through this?

Breastfeeding is *not* contraceptive, so if you didn’t use other forms of contraceptive you could be pregnant.
Do a test, but I heard it’s common not to ovulate for the first cycle
Breastfeeding can cause irregularity. It's normal for things to be messed up for a couple of years as that's how long it takes for the hormones to balance.

You most certainly *could* be pregnant. So I would test if you aren’t sure. However, my period postpartum has been coming every 6 weeks due to breastfeeding so it most certainly can be irregular as well. When in doubt, test.
