While bf it is not uncommon for your periods to be irregular. I got my first pp period when ds was 7.5mths then didn't get another one for over 2mths. If you think there is a good chance you are pregnant take a test. If you get a positive talk to your doctor immediately about the risks to the baby.

I am sure it is only the breastfeeding causing the irregulr cycle. Most women won't have a period at all while breastfeeding. Many women will have one and then not another for a few months too. Very normal and enjoy the break from it.

Yep you can have one period and then not another. I had a period at 6 weeks post partum, and since then nothing and my daughter is 5 months old. I wouldn't worry about it but if you are worried then take a test.
