First you should take a home pregnancy
test to exclude pregnancy. If the test is
positive, it would seem that you are
pregnant. If the test is negative, you are
most likely not pregnant. 80% of all women
lack ovulation and their menstrual periods
a few months after delivery. The genital
discharge you notice, however, could be a
sign of genital infection. You can consult
a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment
of possible infection.
