Should I add yeast when bottling an IPA after sitting in secondary for 1.5 months

I'm VERY new to homebrewing. This is my first 5gal batch. I moved from primary to secondary after 1-2 weeks. I then (due to life, work, forgetting to order bottles) have left the beer in the secondary for 1.5 months. It is an IPA. I'm wondering if I should pitch additional yeast when I bottle or is there enough active yeast to carbonate?

Thanks!

Great question. There should be enough yeast still present to carbonate your bottles. If you want to be sure, it wouldn't be wrong just to add about 1 gram of fresh yeast before bottling. You don't need a whole pack, just a tiny amount. But this is optional. I'll bet if you don't add any more yeast it will still carbonate just fine.
