I just had a baby 3 months ago, and I still have not had a period. I did not breastfeed but did have to express milk a week after giving birth because my breasts became engourged. I don't know if my system is just messed up or if I'm pregnant again. Should I take a test or keep waiting to see if I start. I just don't know how long to wait before I should test. What makes matters worse is my husband had a vasectomy while I was pregnant with my last one, but was too shy to see if his samples would come back negative. So now it makes me think it my body that's messed up, but I'm also afraid that his surgery may not have worked. Help what should I do?

If you only expressed your milk, you should have started your period about 6-8 weeks later, so I would do a test!!!

You need some peace of mind since you are still hormonal and postpartum.

Good luck!

I dont have any advice other then to test, but I dont think its uncommon to not have you af yet after only three months after giving birth your body could easily be adjusting, but you should encourage your dh to get checked so you know for sure your method is working best for the both of you!

Good luck to you!
