Anyone else have a long gap between postpartum periods?

I had my baby at the end of July, had a really heavy period in September, but nothing since then. It’s making me anxious—has anyone else experienced a long gap between periods after giving birth?

I had my first on July 9th, and labor was hell but the birth itself was thankfully awesome. Barely teared, stopped bleeding after about two weeks of being home. My son couldn’t latch so I pumped up until September 10th, because I wasn’t making enough to my standards. I weaned pumping for about a week or two, so I honestly “wasn’t” pumping for a while prior to actually stopping. Just like twice a day, then once a day for 10 mins. Anyway… I got my period on August 31st and it ended on September 3rd, just like my periods I had before pregnancy. I had cramps the day of, as per usual. But I’m currently 8 days “late” for my period, and it’s confusing as all hell. Since I barely pumped I’m confused as to how that could be what’s making me late (the hormones from it) but I have been having unprotected sex since the 3rd of September like an idiot. He hasn’t finished inside of me, but still. Idiot. I’m anxious too for numerous reasons. My stomach has been cramping most days on and off for weeks!
