Hi, I have gone through your problem. Irregular periods after childbirth and during lactation period are very common due to hormonal changes. Since you had tubectomy along with c section, it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant. Still, I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test and if it is negative, which is highly probable, you should wait for the periods. The periods may be delayed by 2 months at a stretch during breastfeeding. Meanwhile, do use barrier contraception.
Hope this answers your question. You can get back to us for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
