Just had baby in Oct & first period last month, now I am late, still breastfeeding..help!?

I am breastfeeding and I just got my first period since before I was became pregnant. It is now day 35 since the first day of my last period last month. A few days ago I took a pregnancy test from the dollar store and it showed up negative. I know they are only accurate when the hormone levels are high enough so a few days after your period is suppose to happen. How many days should I wait to retest and if its still negative then what gives?

    You are very fertile the first six weeks after giving birth. Take another test in 3 days. If it's still negative, go to the doctor and have them check you out. Good Luck!

    Your period may not be regular at all while you breastfeed but if you do not want to become pregnant this soon you need to be using protection.
