My period is late...?

Question:

My period is 3 days late. I took a home pregnancy test and it says negative. I had a baby 5 months ago but for the last 2 months i had my period on the 13th. I never missed a period or was ever late (before the baby). I'm not breastfeeding either.
Could my body still adjusting?

Answers:
Ok relax. It could be many things. Your body could still be adjusting to the fact that you had a baby. That would cause it to be late. It could be that you are stressed because of the baby, stress can cause you be late too. But it could be that you are pregnate again. Just because the test says negitive, does not mean you are not pregnate. It could be that it is just not registaring yet. If you do not have your period in a week take another test. If it comes back negitive again, go see your doctor. It could take you quite a bit before you body adjust to the fact that you gave birth. But you also may never go back to the way you were, you may not have your period on time every month. It could come a few days early, could come a few days late.

Yep, don't panic...do you want another baby? How about getting on the pill if you dont, or any other kind of BC.babies back to back are HARD work, so be careful if you dont want to get prego.

You took a test, it was neg. so just give it a few more days, if you get more than a week late, take another test.

Good luck
