So, my period is currently around 4 -5 days late. I stopped breastfeeding my 11 month old son around 2 weeks ago ago. I had been exclusively breastfeeding my son so had no period for the first 6 months after having him, then my period returned when I started him on solids, since then my cycle has been like clockwork, every 28 days without fail. Until now... I’m not currently TTC, so I at starting to freak out a bit.
I took a pregnancy test on Saturday morning which showed up negative, but then later in the morning a very faint line appeared (I’ve attached pics). But I have written that off as an evap line as the line appeared outside of the time frame. Plus at that point my period would have been 2 - 3 days late so if I was pregnant I would probably have gotten a very clear positive.
I don’t have any symptoms of pregnancy besides my period being late?
However, there is certainly a possibility I could be pregnant. I was due to go and get a copper coil fitted earlier in the month but had to reschedule my appointment. So in the last 3 weeks we really haven't been having that much sex tbh, when we have, we have used condoms (most of the time) there have been one or two occasions where we just used the ‘withdrawal’ method admittedly, which I know is incredibly unreliable, and in hindsight was a pretty stupid move.
So what is the more likely To be the situation here? Am I most likely pregnant? Or could my period be late because I’ve recently stopped breastfeeding? Could that have just thrown my body out of whack a bit?
Has anyone else experienced similar when they’ve stopped breastfeeding?
