Missed period while BFing, any one else still missing cycles 9 months after AF return

[mrsclt]

My son is 15 months old now and only really breastfeeds at nap time and in the night, though I'm trying to cut the night feeds to encourage him to sleep through. AF returned pretty consistently from when he was 5 months old. They used to come every 3 weeks, but the last 4 cycles have lengthened out, first 44 days, then 40, then 30. This cycle, around CD20 i had a positive OPK and fertile CM for about a week so dtd several times that week. Wasnt charting temp because its been all over the place and i often wake throughout the night, but I assumed I ovulated from the OPK and CM... however I'm now on cycle day 45, i tested with hpts a week ago, around 14 days past when i think I O'd, and they were negative. Has anyone else started skipping periods after its been back for so long? Or should I test again to see if i might be pregnant? Its frustrating because I only have $100 a week for shopping, and cant afford to keep buying tests as they are not cheap where i live. I only have one left and dont want to use it if its just bfing stopping AF again...

My periods were all over when breastfeeding, I would start thinking they were coming back and then R would change her feeding pattern so my periods would change.

everyone is different but with you having negative tests I would take it as you're not pregnant
