You're probably just not going to be regular for awhile. It's totally normal for periods to change with pregnancy. On top of that, so newly postpartum, you're not likely to have predictable cycles for up to several months.

If you're breastfeeding and only 4 months post partum, expect your cycles to be irregular. Unless you're actually tracking o, then you have no real idea on when to expect AF. After my first, it took about 6 mos for my cycles to regulate again and I had stopped bf at 6 weeks. Breastfeeding tends to inhibit ovulation, so you may not have even ovulated since your last cycle.

I breastfed my 2nd daughter and got my cycle, and it was regular as soon as it returned. This time I have supplemented a few times, and LO takes a paci too. A had 4 almost + OPK's on the 8/9 im thinking I did O on the 6/7

I'm confused as to why the almost positive opk on the 8th or 9th makes you think you ovulated on the 6th or 7th, but if you did ovulate on the 7th - 9th, then your period would be due any day now. You're technically not even late yet, so a hpt may not be accurate. Keep in mind that opk are show that you are trying to ovulate, they do not prove that you actually released the egg, so you may have ovulated late, thus making AF "late." And every post partum period is different from baby to baby. Just bc you became regular after baby #2 isn't a guarantee that it will happen this time. Best wishes!
