Breastfeeding.. could I be pregnant?

Question

So my hubby and I had some sexy time two days before my ovulation day... I exclusively breast feed my baby... he is 5 months and a half and he has stopped feeding through the night... which is why I’m not sure if the “breastfeeding” method will work at this point... I’ve read that it works mostly when you are constantly feeding (every 2-3 hours)
Anybody that has gotten pregnant while breastfeeding?
I know this method works because I’ve been using it.. I’m just worried now that my son stopped feeding as frequently as before

Answer

...breastfeeding is not birth control. you are less fertile, but you still ovulate. I know plenty of women who got pregnant this way because they thought the same.

Answer

My Aunt got pregnant again while breastfeeding. I would test if you are worried about it.

Answer

Breastfeeding is not a form of birth control. Feel free to Google it or ask your doctor. Breastfeeding CAN delay ovulation, but you have no idea when it will start again. For example, I breastfeed my son, he's 12 months and still has 2-3 night feeds. I got my period back at 5.5 months pp, meaning I had started ovulating again somewhere around 5 months. Some women start ovulating as little as two weeks after birth, some go over a year! The problem with using this as "birth control" is that you don't know when exactly you'll start ovulating again.

Answer

I have a 10 month old son & I am currently 16 weeks with a little girl and I breastfed all the way up until I found out I was pregnant .
