PP periods

Let’s talk periods 🩸… can anyone shed some light? I had baby number 3 in February. Even though I’m EBF, period likely came back 7 weeks pp, then definitely at 11 weeks and 15 weeks.
Wasn’t a shock as the same thing happened with bub 1 and 2 despite EBF.
Never had irregular periods, always been like clockwork all my life - even through stress etc.
Here’s the kicker… I’m now 3 weeks late 🤷. Have had 2 negative pregnancy tests. What could be going on???

My own period went haywire after DC2 when I was 38 having been very regular all my life. The gaps became very irregular and the length hugely variable - could just be spotting or very light or flooding going on for 2 weeks,

I'm not saying that's what's happening with you but mine never really fully recovered to the previous pattern - I went into peri-menopause quite soon after. Hopefully will not be your experience.
