What Could Missed Periods With HPT Negative While Breastfeeding Suggest?
Hi doctor I am breastfeeding my 6 month old baby and two months after having my baby I started having regular periods but ended up having unprotected sex and missed my last two periods so I took two home pregnancy test and they came back negative. Could something else be wrong with me

Hi, I understand your query. During lactation , periods can be absent/irregular due to hormonal changes while breast feeding.The delay you had might be due to that. Only need at the moment is to use some barrier method (condom)/,IUD,/ mini pill for contraception after a gynecologist's advise. Thanks.
