What Causes Irregular Menstruation During Postpartum?
Hello. I had a question. This is the 3rd month I missed my period. I gave birth Dec. 1st, 2015. But after that around the last days of February was the last time I was sexually active. The first date of my last period was on February 13th. I m sooo stressed about it. I ve taken 4 ClearBlue Pregnancy Tests and all came out negative. I have no pregnancy symptoms at all neither. I ve asked around and I ve been told its probably that I have been stressing out way too much. I m scared I might be pregnant again... Looking foward for an answer that will relieve me . Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the query, I understand your concern. The change of hormonal pattern of a new mother form pregnant state to normality/lactating hormones cause irregularity in menses in postpartum days This is called lactational amenorrhea.. * If you pregnancy test was - ve twice after 2 months absent periods.. you are not pregnant.But mind well conception in this period is not uncommon. So be aware & start using suitable contraceptive with your doctors advise.. before you start having intercourse. Thanks,
