Breast feeding, on the mini pill and 2 months late

I am breast feeding my 9 month old son every 3-4 hours and I'm on the mini pill. I started menstruating when my son was 2 months old after starting the mini pill. I missed my period last month and have not had it yet this month. I've taken 4 pregnancy tests that all came back negative but haven't taken one in the last couple of weeks. Could I be pregnant? I was nauseated this morning, have been extremely tired, moody and sensitive to smells. I'm also bloated and cramping.

I took another test this morning and it was negative. I know they say you can miss your period while breast feeding or not even have it for a while but I got my period back when Kye was just 2 months old and haven't missed any. I was exclusively breast feeding then and he started solids when he was 5 months old and now at 9 months he's breast feeding less frequently than before. It's hard for me to believe it's related to that. The only other thing that makes sense is if maybe the mini pill is causing me not to ovulate so I'm not having one because of that. I guess I just need to call my ob/gyn. Continuing to take the mini pill and there being a slight chance I'm pregnant worries me.

hello,i would tell you to take one more pregnancy test it could be possible that you can or cant be pregnant . if you are having these symptoms than it can be pregnancy or else PMS symptoms. It is normal to missed period when you are breastfeeding mother and also you are feeding him every 3 or 4 hours .

all the best
