Stopped having a period.?

I am 22 and have a 7 month old baby. My period is 3 weeks late. (I have always been very regular.) I went to the doctor today and she said that I am not preg. I just temp. stopped having a period. She said that if I miss my next period that she will give me a pill that will jump start me. I'm not stressed out at all so I know I'm not late because I'm stressed. Could this be because of having a baby? Is this common? Please share your experiences.

Update:

If I was preg. I would be 8 weeks along. The test would have came up postive by now. So, I know I'm not preg.

    Don't worry yourself too much. You went to the doc. You may not feel stressed but that dosen't mean your body is not. There is alot that goes into the care of a 7 month old. and your body has been through an incredible lot in the last year. It just takes some time to get back to normal. Just follow your docs advice. Congrats on the baby!!!

    This exact same thing happened to me, I was all stressed out too, until my doctor explained to me that my hormones were still mixed up. I got my period the NEXT day! So I didn't need to get jump-started. The mind does crazy things to the body. I hope that you reading this will make the stress just go away. No worries, :)

    you might be having a baby and its too early to tell. if you skip another one, try to get another pregnancy test before you take that pill. otherwise, if she is wrong, it could seriously harm things.

    and be careful. the pill they gave me to jump start me made all my hair fall out. beware of Prometrium.
