Hey girls any thoughts on this?

I'm ebf my son he's 10.5 months .

Last month I had my first period since I had him. It was really light and lasted about a day or so. I had this weird feeling I might be pregnant.

I took a clear blue test and it showed a faint thin light but I concluded it was an evap line. I took other tests the next day or so and concluded I wasn't pregnant. So that was last month.

I am now 8 days late.

Should my period have come by now? Should I get another test. Or is this just normal?

Mine were very irregular when BF! However myself and DH used condoms and now TTC so used to be confident it was just the BF. Might be best to check!!

My periods were irregular after they returned each time (whilst still breastfeeding). Some cycles would be the expected length and others would be 50+ days! So totally normal to be ‘late’ in this circumstance, but worth doing a test if you suspect pregnancy!

Hey girls , I haven't taken any test since this missed one I know I prob should. I keep meaning to get to the shop To pick one up but was thinking it will probably just come but now I'm like 🤔 where is it?

I can't get a test till tomorrow so was just wondering if this would be common. My periods were so regular all my life if that's relevant.

Myself and hubby just use pull out method, no contraception otherwise

Have you took a test since this missed one?

Are you taking any contraception or doing any “natural methods” or nothing? Cos that will influence the outcome for sure

When my periods came back whilst breastfeeding they were so erratic. It took a good few months to settle back into a reliable pattern.

But you never know until you test 🙂
