Missed period while breastfeeding... Pregnant?
So, here is the story:
I started my period after 4 months after DD was born (breastfeeding exclusively), and have had regular cycles (30-31 days) for the last 5 months. This month (month 9) DD is eating purees 3xday and 1-2 bottles per day, she BFs about 3x day (including at night). I am SEVEN DAYS LATE, going on EIGHT. I have taken (a few) HPTs with negative results. I am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and if they can shed some light on what's going on.
** I could potentially be 5ish weeks along if I AM pregnant and have read that HPTs may not read positive until 6ish weeks, but have two children and never experienced low HCG levels.
** I could just be missing a period?? But, why? I'm not stressed and nothing has changed (no extreme weight changes, no eating differences, no sex differences, no prior issues with thyroid, etc...)

DD (5 years old) from IUI in 2012
TTC 3rd and final!: IUI #1 in progress!
I would say not pregnant. It is normal to have irregular periods while nursing. What are you using for birth control? I didn't have any period after my older DS until he was completely weaned at 14 months old.
This time, I'm on the mirena. I had one period when baby was about 6 months old and then I didn't have my period return until after baby's first birthday. Then I just started again and it has been 38 days since the last one. So I'd say it's pretty normal especially when baby is under 1 year old.
This happened to me... I am pregnant. I guess I O'ed later?
Took two weeks to get a hpt to say +
So did you end up being pregnant or not?
