need some advice...late period...

in August 2013 Moms
So I have an 8 month old son that I still breastfeed, but he is on solids now. I was not so lucky after I had him and my period returned within a couple months after I had him. So I keep track on an app on my phone of my cycles. This month I am now going on 32 days, about a week when I was "supposed" to start. My cycles have been from 23-28 days for the last 6 months. I have taken SEVERAL hpt's and they all come back negative. Is it possible that nursing could still affect this?? I think I'm trying to be hopeful. DH and I did have sex after the supposed time I "should" have ovulate, so I thought I was way out of the clear. Btw we do not do birth control, but rather just natural means for it. i did start sertraline for 3 days for some anxiety I was having but quit because it was having negative side effects with me, didn't even take a week. Does anyone know if that can do something to your cycle? Of course i'd be happy if I was pregnant but this was NOT a planned one if it is. Sorry I'm rambling, I'm just needing somewhere to talk about this and to see if anyone else has gone through this before?? Need some encouragement :)

    Your cycles probably aren't regular yet.

    My period came back at 8 weeks PP and was regular until a month ago when it was a week late. I'm sure my panic attack is still fresh in @CaliforniaDream87's mind. ;) I'm not pregnant, it was just a wacky cycle.

    I've been on sertraline for months now. It hasn't effected my cycle at all. I vote come back Tues with stick pic.

    If babe's going through a wakeful phase and nursing more often it could throw off your cycle. 

     I just went through a similar freak out and it took an entire month for my period to return. I understand where you're coming from but if you're not ready for another you should consider a more reliable form of BC. 

    If it's been longer than two weeks since you has unprotected sex and you're getting negative HPT chances are that you're not pregnant.

    Yes you are all right about a more reliable form of BC and charting. It was kind of a spur of the moment/not thinking situation when DH and I had sex during that time after I thought I O-ed. I will try and not let it consume me and wait til next week to test again if it hasn't started. I appreciate the commentz though!

    So I took another HPT today. Still a negative. It got me thinking: I have lost about 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks....I don't know why I didn't think about that before, buuut....I'm now wondering if that's has caused my missed period?? Silly me...

    My period came back 10 weeks pp..... and has been consistently late (according to my pills) every single month.
