What Causes Irregular Menstruation During Postpartum?

Hello. I had a question. This is the 3rd month I missed my period. I gave birth Dec. 1st, 2015. But after that around the last days of February was the last time I was sexually active. The first date of my last period was on February 13th. I m sooo stressed about it. I ve taken 4 ClearBlue Pregnancy Tests and all came out negative. I have no pregnancy symptoms at all neither. I ve asked around and I ve been told its probably that I have been stressing out way too much. I m scared I might be pregnant again... Looking foward for an answer that will relieve me . Thanks!
