I stopped breastfeeding six weeks ago and had intercourse with my husband about 3 weeks ago but forgot to take my pill that day so would have been uncovered. I am getting signs of a period ie, tired, moody, spotty and depressed, could these be signs of pregnancy or definitely a period about to start?

its probably just your period...why don't you relax and wait a little longer it will come around...you know you always start your period the day after you take a test....

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about that, since I conceived while still breastfeeding my first child (she was 11 months old). The only reason I stopped was because she refused to continue -- milk probably dried up when I got pregnant. No amount of pumping or herbal supplements worked. I had had two periods before I got pregnant the second time.
If you have already started solids before you stopped breastfeeding, then you probably were already able to conceive at that point. Not having periods has little if anything to do with your ability to conceive, and breastfeeding only works as a contraceptive under very strict conditions (such as feeding at least a certain frequency, not giving pacifiers, bottles, or solids, etc). So chances are, you were already able to conceive. Youre symptoms could be either pregnancy or premenstrual. At this point, I'd wait until your period is due to begin and take a test. If you don't know when that is, and you likely won't if you haven't had any periods yet, just go ahead and take a test. If you're still not sure, go see your ob-gyn to be safe.
Good luck!

It took me 4 weeks after I had stopped breastfeeding for my periods to resume. I know you can get pregnant in that waiting period' so if you had sex then it is possible you are pregnant. Unfortunately, the symptoms are the same for period and pregnancy so difficult to tell. Take a pregnancy test 3 weeks after you and your husban had sex to confirm. In the meantime, stop worrying. If you;re not pregnant the worrying will only delay your period further. If you are then you'll be giving your baby the pricless gift of a little brother sister. Either way you'll be okay. Good luck.

It takes about 50-60 days to start your period again after having a baby. On average. If you were breastfeeding, then it will take a little while longer. If you have just had a baby, it is highly unlikely that you will get pregnant again in the next 9 months. Because your body has to regulate its self again, before it become pregnant again. This is because your uterus is now all scar tissue, and the birthing canal is not yet back to its normal state.

Yes, they could be signs of pregnancy.
I had avidly breastfeeding kids, and I never had a period at all between my daughters. They are 12.5 months apart in age.
The good news is that if you are pregnant, your kids will be little all at once and in later years, they will be best friends.
Good luck.

Your body is pretty messed up after all the changes you have gone through, you could be pregnant and you may just be a little iregular, I would take a test to put your mind at ease
