Breastfeeding - periods starting then stopping?

Wondering if anyone has experienced similar?

I had a baby circa 14 months ago. Periods returned circa 12 months which coincided with DBaby sleeping through the night for a few weeks (throughout December and beginning of January). So I had a period at the beginning of January (first period) and then a second at the beginning of February. Around the start of January DB went back to waking a million times a night and feeding lots too, which is still the case now (send help!).

I realised yesterday that I was probably late for my period and, having now checked, I am around 9 days late. I have never been 100% regular, but only mildly irregular IYSWIM? But ~9 days over is quite unusual.

Definitely NOT pregnant (poor DH!)...

So I am wondering if the sudden increase in nighttime breastfeeding has stopped my periods again? I guess it's too early to say, and AF may turn up any minute and dash my wishful thinking... but I'm just interested if this has happened to anyone else?
