    You had your 1st period about 2 months after giving birth. If you have had a period, you have ovulated. If you ovulate, you can get pregnant. It's common for post-preggers to have hormone difficulties. If your pregnancy tests have been negative, it might be a hormone problem. If I were you, I'd go to the doctor immediately to find out. If your hormones are out of balance, that can be fixed. If you've made the mistake of becoming pregnant so soon after having a baby -- mistake because your body has not yet recovered from the physical stress of pregnancy, let alone the hormonal changes -- and I say "if", you should have pre-natal care right away.

    Are you breastfeeding or did you for awhile? That will often throw your cycles off and many women won't have periods, or will have very irregular ones, until they stop. Are you using any form of birth control to prevent a pregnancy?
    It is not uncommon to have irregular cycles for a bit after having given birth.
    Odds are your body is still adjusting, but as AuntieCarol said, good idea to check with your doctor to be sure. Plenty of women are surprised to find themselves pregnant soon after giving birth.

    Just gave birth two months and three weeks ago. I still haven't had my period. I have been sexually active. Can I be pregnant?

    I have an 18 month old daughter - a son 8 month old and I am currently 5 months pregnant.- yes it is is possible to get pregnant so soon after giving birth.

    There is also only 10 and a half months between my 6 and 7 year old children.

    My children were planned so closed together, but for those of you not as insane as me please use protection.

    Since this thread is almost a year old, I'm sure the OP knows whether she was pregnant or not.
