have an honest ?

hello all!  i honestly do not know which message board i should even be turning to, but the 2U2 seems to be fitting.

 I'm still BF, but did have my very first period May 18th...though I have yet to have my second one.  So that puts me about 10 days "late" depending on how many days are really in my cycle (don't know yet, as they haven't gotten regular).  i haven't taken a pregnancy test, but was wondering do you think i'm jumping the gun just a bit thinking i could possibly be pregnant?  should i get a test and take it, just so i do know?  husband and i, for the life of us, can't remember when we had sex...it's a "get in get out" before zeke wakes up sort of thing anymore! lol!

any input would be greatly appreciated!

BFing can mimic pg symtoms, and cause your period to be weird and have long cycles. I had a 41 day cycle one time...It doesnt hurt to test, but its normal to have long cycles.

 thanks so much...got a test, and will do it in the am.  and i totally agree, i have been having some tenderness in my nipples, but zeke is getting tough at times lol!

I've had really crazy cycles after giving birth both times. Both times, my 2nd cycle was close to 50 days long. Unless you've had unsafe sex numerous times, I'd probably chalk it up to normal PP stuff.

I would test.  I had one period, then was late and thought I was just irregular.  I finally decided to test and got BFP.

It could go either way. I BF my DD for 12 months and my periods were ALL OVER the place. My first came at about 4 months and they I don't even know from there
