Is this possible? I just had my 5th baby 4 months ago, you'd think Id know the answer to this question. But, I know every pregnancy is different. I'm strictly bf'ing, no solids yet, so around the clock at least 4 hrs in between feeds, during the day sometimes every hour. So I highly doubt that Im pregnant. Has anyone else experianced this? My symptoms are nausia, fatigue, I've been peeing way more then usual, headache, tender breast, twinges/mild cramps, bloating. I have that heavyness feeling like in early pregnancy. I've been pg 8 times, so Im familiar with these feelings. After all my babies I wouldnt get my cycle back until 11 to 14 months after delivery, so I doubt Im even ovulating now. Can this be caused by breastfeeding? Or something like an ovarian cyst? Please, if anyone has any idea let me know. It's really not easy for me to go to a dr. I feel kind of stupid to go out and get a test cuz I honestly dont think thats the cause, although I have thought of at least ruling it out, more or less for poops and giggles. I just want to know what else can cause these symptoms and hoping its not serious. Also why I wont google it ;)
 
well could be retrun or period but then I got pregnant breastfeeding so it can happen, I didnt get any sickness till way later on which I read breatsfeeding was suppose to elivate some of these symptoms so you can feed your other baby and be preg at the same time. Still not many symptoms here at all but obviously I am pregnant. I was fooled a lot of times though with hormones so I had loads of tests to check all the time.
 
I also got pregnant while breastfeeding before, 4 times actually, but that was later after I got my cycle back and I was only bf'ing maybe 3-5 times a day. I don't think Im pregnant, I just feel like I am. Its so wierd! I decided to get a test today just to be 100% sure, and I guess Ill just wait and see if these symptoms maybe go away. I was just wondering, hoping, someone else experienced this and it just happens sometimes when bf'ing :)

Thanx for your reply! xxx
 
I've got those symtoms too but I havent had unprotected sex so its interesting to know I'm not the only one! Did you do a test?
