No Periods, Mild Spotting After Childbirth Through C Section. Not Breastfeeding, Having Unprotected Sex. Pregnancy Test Negative. Something Wrong?
Hi. I had my daughter on jan 23, 2013 via c section and I am not breast feeding. My concern is that I have not had a period since then. After the c section I had minimal bleeding for about four days. And then about two months later had about a half say of spotting and then nothing. My husband and I have had unprotected sex multiple times as he would like to have our babies close in age. I have also taken multiple pregnancy tests that have all came back negative. I there something wrong with me? Could something have gotten harmed during the c section? Thanks!

Thanks for posting your query.
From the information you have provided,
Possibility of a pregnancy cannot be ruled out completely.
As you are not breast feeding and its been well over 3 months after CS , you can or would have ovulated anytime.
Ovulation or egg release precedes periods.
Its also common for the first few periods to be irregular.
As you have had multiple negative home pregnancy tests and the fact that you have had irregular bleeding, its best that you consult your gynaecologist.
Blood test for pregnancy can give more information.
Its unlikely to be due to CS complication.
In any case, its advisable that you consult your gynaecologist before coming to any conclusion.
Hope this helps,
All the best. Take care.
