so I had my 2nd c-section on 10/20
bled for 10 days, then again the following month and then again that month, all considered post partum bleeding as they were all in the 56 day time frame.went to doc had check up all was well at 6 weeks... on 12/24 I got the first period, wich is 30 days ago today, and waiting for a second and nothing yet. I know you can be irregular, but everything went back to normal so fast, milk dried up ( I am not BF) I'm not under stress, all seems fine, is this normal? I didn't start a pill because I was going to get an IUD, so 2x I have used a condom, ( didn't break or leak etc) I just took a test just to rule it out and it was negative, what do you think? Please...
its been 30 days, exactly 4 weeks since period 1...

If the test is negative I wouldn't worry just yet. That's just going to cause stress that can make it worse. If another week or so goes by and you still haven't gotten your period you might want to take another test and/or consult your dr

Periods may become regular from the start or it may take a few months. Either try another test a little later, as justcurious55 suggested, or wait until next month and see what happens with your period at that time.
