Periods after pregnancy
Hello Doctors,
I have delivered a healthy baby boy on 09-nov-2019. I am exclusively breast feeding him I got lite periods for two consecutive months. On 9th jan 2020 and 09th feb 2020.
Periods were very different like light and without any abdominal pain.
I was expecting periods on 09 march but did not get and then on 09Arpil again no periods..
I am concerned as I was sexually active but with protection.
I have checked with the home pregnancy kit after 2 months of not receiving periods and it is negative.
Is their any chance that I am pregnant again.. if not then when can expect my periods. Is it normal to have irregularities or i should be concerned..? Please help guid.. thanks in advance.

Most likely you are not pregnant. And the irregularities in the menstrual cycle is because you are feeding. But you need to use a proper contraceptive to avoid pregnancy.
