Hello and welcome to HCM,
Pregnancy is characterized by absence of all kind of menstrual bleeding or spotting.
Thus, if there is complete absence of menstruation or spotting, pregnancy can be thought off.
In case of doubt, an urine pregnancy test will help to rule out or confirm pregnancy.
However, ovulation is suspended for few months during lactation, few months after child birth.
Thanks and take care
