Scared!! really really scared!

I was talking with my friend Samantha today. About how I was glad I hadn't had AF yet, well she kinda looked at me in a weird way and said "your still haven't had your period yet." I laughed and said no. But then she said she had AF a month and a half after her DD Tyler was born, who is only a month older than my DD Haylei(will be 3 months on 3/12). Now I am worried I'm PG, somebody help me! I don't know what to do. DH had a vasectomy to prevent this. Its not that we can't afford another but we really don't want another, please please please give me advice! I need ANSWERS ASAP!
TIA,
Shelby

Are you BFing?
I nursed for a year and went 6 months before my cycle started. I also know a woman who was nursing and not using BC and got pregnant when her baby was a few months old. It does happen. While breastfeeding is a form of birth control, it is not a great one.
That being said, when did your hubby get his vasectomy? Has he been tested to see if it worked? Are you using any other forms of BC? When a man gets fixed, he can still be fertile for several months after. And, although it doesn't happen often, sometimes it doesn't work or reverses itself. The only way to know if it worked is for him to have a sperm count test.
On a positive note, IF you are breastfeeding exclusively and your hubby has a vasectomy, the chances of you getting pregnant are astronomical. If you are, it truly is the will of the universe!
If you are very concerned, take a hpt, or go to your doctor. Chances are if your dh had a snip, then you aren't, but there is always a chance, stranger things have happened.

There is a certain type of birthcontrol pill you can take while breastfeeding that does not contain estrogen and will not hurt the baby. Talk to your gynecologist and they can put you on it.

Have you took a pg test?
If you are that concerned, do that or go to your dr and confirm it one way or another.
