Should I waste money on a test or what?

I am so freakin moody, beyond belief. The simplest things are getting on my nerves. I am so prone to feeling sad and down, I am so prone to tears lately. The waterworks turn on at the drop of a hat. I am nauseous, exhausted, bloated, my EWCM hasn't stopped since I last ovulated (Feb 14), my "period" was just 3 days of brown and light pink spotting. I've been craving extra buttery popcorn and apple juice for 2 weeks now.

But the chance of pregnancy is slim, since my husband had a vasectomy two months ago.

What could be wrong with me?

I only ever pump first thing in the morning, when I've slept through. I pump before my son wakes up and feed him by breast when he does. What I pump, I save. Other than that one pump in the morning, he always eats by breast.

To increase or maintain your milk supply you need to pump regularly, otherwise you will start to dry up really fast.  Your body produces as much milk as it is demanded so if you stay engorged for too long then the body automatically thinks that the milk isn;t needed so you produce less until you dry up.

Also, it could be the breastfeeding that is keeping your periods light.

I almost forgot..I am currently breastfeeding, and my milk supply is dwindling. I used to be able to pump out 19-20oz first thing in the morning, now I can barely squeeze out 15oz.
