so my son is almost 3 months old.i am breastfeeding i have yet to have my period. I'm kinda freaking out. I've took 3 pregnancy test and all were negative.we also use birth control. So someone please help and tell me why! Thank you 

Hi Crystal,

You're breastfeeding.  That's why you aren't getting your period.  You may not have a period for up to about 6 months or so.  It's called lactational amenorrhea.

It's very normal.

Thank you so much! This was a big help. Am I able to still get pregnant without the period?

The odds are very low compared to if you were not breastfeeding.

There is still a very slight risk however.
