question for the experts

I'm pretty ignorant on ttc because I have never used bc before and have just let whatever happen.

so, anyway, I am trying to figure out what is going on here...

I gave birth April 23rd, had the normal pp bleeding, then on July 4th I had light bleeding that lasted atleast 10 days. Since then I haven't had any AFs. I am exclusively breastfeeding.

Well, now I am had pg symptoms on and off. I'm very fatigued at times, nauseated, my abdomen is sore like it is when I'm pregnant. I've been very hungry, grumpy. I think that's all of them.
However, when I test, it is negative!

the long AF in July was pretty weird for me. I usually have short AFs. Does anyone know what that is about?
do you think based on everything I've told you, that I could be fertile already?

I'm not an expert by any means, but the light, long AF could just have been some pre-AF bleeding, I get spotting a month or so before AF returns. Did your son slow his feeding by any chance not too long prior to that(like 7days-3 weeks before) and then up his feeding since then?
I get pg type sxs(acne, cramping, hunger, some nauseau, rash...strange thing for me) with the imminent return of AF(for like a month before or so) so maybe you are having that?
