Hi Ladies,
I'm new to this forum and would love to get all of your thoughts. Basically I am wondering if I am pregnant again, or if my body is still just fluctuating hormonally.
Some background: my son is 6 months old exactly. I am exclusively breast feeding. I got my period back at 8 weeks. Then it came back when he was 14 weeks, 18 weeks, and 22 weeks. It was exactly 4 weeks apart, down to the day. The last normal period was June 16th. Hope it's not tmi, but on June 27th, hubby and I had sex. (With protection- we are using female condoms. I'm not on the pill.) Then I had some light spotting July 2-5th. I don't ever spot mid cycle normally. I also started feeling exactly the way I did when pregnant with my son- nausea, extreme fautigue, backache, cravings, and achiness in my pelvic/hip area and waist. Anyway, I figured I'd just wait to see if my period came on time. It didn't- it was scheduled for July 14th. I took a HPT on July 21st, when it was 6 days late. It was negative. Then today, July 24th, I started bleeding.
I am assuming it's my period, although it's so wacky at a week and a half late. I called my OBGYN and they think it's just a hormonal thing because of breastfeeding- but I just want to be sure. I know some women can bleed during pregnancy. But I also don't want to obsess about it- guess I just felt so confused because my body felt pregnant again! Any thoughts would be great!
