Hi! I know this is TMI but I’m 6 days late for my period and don’t know whether I need to take a pregnancy test. For context, I had my baby in September and had my first period last month. Before pregnancy my periods were like clockwork. So being 6 days late is weird for me, but is this just part of the postpartum journey? Experienced mommas help me out.

Are you breastfeeding still? Breastfeeding messed up my cycle and they didn't get more regular until about a year pp. It's still worth taking a test though as everyone is different

I'd definitely be taking a test
Nope. I haven’t been breastfeeding since March I think.

Yeah, if you've been having unprotected intercourse, I'd 2000% take a test

I gave birth in November and I am currently 5 wks pregnant. I took a test because I was 5 days late so if you have been having intercourse it’s best to go ahead and take a test
