In 20 % of women after delivery if exclusive breastfeeding amenorrhea can occurs but if not breastfeeding exclusively menstruation can occur any time even within 6 week of delivery .
Some time ovulation do occur during lactational amenorrhea . Just do a pregnancy test to clear your doubt and consult a gynaecologist

When u r exclusively breast feeding ur baby, u dont ovulate and dont get periods. That is completely ok.
Only concen is, do not have unprotected coital activity thinking No periods - No pregnancy. Because if u ovulate in between then u may conceive unknowingly.
