    Missed periods, but am I pregnant?
    I have recently had a baby (just over 3months ago) and have not been using any birth control, it took me 12-18 months to conceive last time. Since giving birth, I have had a regular 32 days cycle but are now 6 days late and have took many pregnancy tests all being negative. If the HCG level showed up with my last baby, does it mean it will show up with this one?
    I really want to be pregnant but even the first response pregnancy test that detects 6 days before your period didn't pick up anything (and I tested after my missed period)

    Please can someone help and advise me?

    It's hard to say if you are or if you are not. It can take up to a year for your hormones to get back into a regular pattern after having a baby.

    I understand you really want to have a baby, but being pregnant so soon after having your last baby can be extremely dangerous to your health and the health of the fetus. It is recommended that you wait a year after having a baby before becoming pregnant again. The reason is that it takes your body time to recover from the nine months of pregnancy. I'm not talking physically, necessarily, but chemically. It takes time to get your hormones back in balance, vitamins to get back to a normal level, etc.

    Please don't be in such a rush to get pregnant again. It could be dangerous to the health of the baby.
