I was just wondering what the chances are of getting pregnant while breastfeeding?
Me and OH have had one accident since Lex has been born and now i am paranoid im pregnant again!!
I know we are bother very fertile as DD was conceived whilst i was on the pill and DS and AB were both conceived in the first week of trying!!
I havent done a test yet but am seriously thinking of doing one soon!!
Help anyone? xx
 
I am pregnant and still breastfeeding, If your periods have returned theres a bigger chance. Its not a contraceptive at all.
 
I started my period 7 weeks after birth, so presumably I ovulated 5 weeks after birth.... It's very possible (I'm glad we used condoms when we started DTD again, as it would have been around the same time I ovulated. Eeeek!) I'd test if you're worried x

ETA : I exclusively BF on demand and co-sleep - M occassionally has a dummy during her naps though x
 
yeah it's not a sure contraceptive! everyone is different so there's no real rule! if you are exclusively BF it's less likely tho.
 
Well we use condoms but one broke :S
Ive got a prescription for the pill but doc told me not to take it till my period returns which it still hasnt and Lex is almost 11weeks.
I demand bf throughout the day but he has 1 bottle of formula in the evening then sleeps through.
I think ill leave it another few weeks then test as id only be very early on anyways. Thanks x
 
test in a couple of weeks to rule out being pregnant then start taking the pill ( i asumme you got cerazette ) you can start taking it at any point in your cycle you just have to use protection for a week
 
i fell pregnant with my 4th while breast feeding! so i got the inplant in, thought it was affectiong my personality.. so got it removed. realised i had depression, not the implant affecting my mood... so got it back in.... but... too late! had it in a week and MORNING SICKNESS lol i concieved 2 days before it went in! eek...
Shock over now! baby number 5 due in November. going to get implant in very soon after birth this time... and KEEP it in! lol

SUPER DUPER EXCITED ABOUT NEW BABS!!!
