Will pregnancy during lactation be detected later than normal pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Does pregnancy show up later if conceived during breastfeeding compared to normal pregnancy? Baby is 9 months old, menstruation is 12 days overdue, and tests haven't shown pregnancy. When will it come? I'm very worried about getting pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Pregnancy during breastfeeding is the same as usual, so when couples have intimate relations, both parties must take contraceptive measures. For example, you can wear a condom. If your period doesn't come for a long time, you don't need to worry too much, because the menstrual cycle is often irregular during breastfeeding. If you're still not sure, you can go to the hospital to check your blood hCG level to further confirm whether you are pregnant.
