Hello dear,I understand your concern.There will be natural absence of menstruation after delivery varying for 3-6 months in different people.This is due to lactation.If you are feeding your baby without any formula feeds the lactation naturally prevents menstruation.So the chances of pregnancy are rare as the urine pregnancy test is negative.So relax.
