Because of breastfeeding ur periods may be delayed for a long time but u need to check for pregnancy also. Sometimes pregnancy can happen in lactational period even without any menses.

Yes this can happen when you are breast feeding. But if you are not using any contraceptives and indulging in unprotected sexual activities then please do a urine pregnancy test and an ultrasound to rule out pregnancy.
