My little girl is only 4 months old and I haven't gotten my period since she is was born. I gave up breastfeeding at 6 weeks, so surely it should have returned by now? Recently we had a condom break so I'm worried I could be pregnant again.
I had an ultrasound last week though to check for PCOS and the sonographer didn't say anything. Surely they would tell me if I was pregnant? Or would they just leave that for my doctor?
I'm so confused....hubby is adament he isn't ready for another baby...

Sonographers aren't supposed to tell you anything, except maybe the sex of your baby (if you want to know), but I'm not certain they can even do that.
Go to the doctor's office to get your test results (if you haven't already received them). If your ob/gyn rules out PCOS, then you should ask for a pregnancy test, and let your doctor know what happened.
As for your husband, (shame about the condom) but he was there and he knows what occurred. Perhaps you should bring up the condom incident and mention to him that 'something could have happened' because of the condom incident, before you go to your doctor.
Even though he is adamant at this time about not having another baby, he at least has to consider the possibility, and have some idea in mind on how you two should go from there if you are pregnant. If nothing else it will hopefully open the door to discuss the situation.
As for the delayed period, sometimes doesn't return right after you stop breastfeeding, but since you have to visit your doctor, tell him about that as well.
Try not to worry. Stress can delay a period too.
I hope everything works out well for you.
And I hope this helps! God bless you!

My sure tell way to know - completely unprofessional - is my breasts get terribly tender just like when you are ovulating. Only when pregnant they stay tender at least for a couple of months. AND, keep getting cramps like a period might be trying to start but never does. The easiest time to get pregnant is in the first year after the baby is born. You could run out (Have H run out) and get and preg test. esp. if you it will be long before you see the doctor for sonogram follow up.
Hubby will come around if you are - it is easier for them to be detached until that baby is actually in their arms. But try not to stress esp if you don't appear to have any other symptoms. Missing periods could normal - they are funny things. We hate living with them and hate living without them.

You could be pregnant, but remember that after birth and breastfeeding, it takes a while for your body to return to normal. Also, if you are and just got pregnant, they may not have seen anything on the ultrasound. You should get on birth control, but take a test also just to make sure. Also make sure you continue taking a multi vitamin in case you are b/c your body is run down from just having a baby.

After giving birth to her second child, my sister went in for her six week check-up and found out she was pregnant again. Her boys are 11 mos. apart. More than likely, you aren't pregnant and your period just hasn't returned yet. If you really are worried, take a home pregnancy test.

it's very possible hon. i would schedule a blood test with your doc to be sure. and as far as HUBBY not being ready! that would be the least of my concerns...your body is still recovering from the last one. if i was him I'd be more worried about your heath than his stress over another mouth to feed!

well if the sonographer wasnt looking for a pregnancy she might not have seen it. i doubt you are though.
it took 3 months for me to have my first period after i finished breastfeeding.
bottom line... have the doc draw up bloodowork.

If you are the doctor should call you in for further testing.
