Pregnancy following stillbirth

Hi all,

I'm really sorry I didn't know which board to post in to get the most traffic.

I gave birth to my son at 22 weeks after his heart stopped beating. This was 11 weeks ago.

I had postpartum bleeding after his birth which lasted about 5/6 weeks (I know this is normal as I already have an older child).

I then had a period about 3/4 weeks later as expected. Going by my "usual" cycles, I should have had my period start again on Wednesday gone but still nothing.

My H and I had unprotected sex twice since my last period as we are not trying, but not "not trying" either (if that makes any sense). Please don't have a go at me - I appreciate this must seem earlier after our son but it feels ok for us.

I took a pregnancy test on Friday afternoon and it showed negative.

Do you think it's likely just due to my body getting back to "normal"? Or do you think I could be pregnant?
