Questiom about fertility: I gave birth via CS last November, and got my first 'period' in January. It was very light and very short. Last Feb 7th,I got a second period which was much more like the usual periods I would get before I was pregnant. I had unprotected sex with my husband on the 26th day of my cycle, and I'm now 4days late. I read on KellyMom however that sometimes, an exclusively breastfeeding mother will experience fluctuations in her cycle and sometimes, the first few periods aren't indicative of ovulation. I strictly exclusively BF my son since birth, so now I'm unsure where I stand. Any advice?

I think if you've had your period breastfeeding doesn't work as a contraceptive anymore https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/bfinfo/lactational-amenorrhea-method-lam-postpartum-contraception

Better start using protection and getting an early pregnancy test to be sure.
