I think every new mom worries that she might be pregnant in the first few months after birth. I know it is possible, but don't worry too much about irregular periods while you are breastfeeding. Your hormones will be all over the map, and it will take a little while for things to get back to "normal". My younger daughter is 7 1/2 months, and I have had some bleeding off and on, occasionally, and one heavy period, as well as a couple times where my CM indicated ovulation, with no period. And to the best of my knowledge, I am not, and have not been pregnant. I know sometimes, when you are exhausted with getting up with your baby and adjusting to your new role, you think it must be another pregnancy! But chances are pretty good that it's not. By all means, keep an eye on your cervical mucous, and talk to your doctor, or test, if you are concerned. Congrats with your daughter, by the way - All the best.
