Ovulating 6 and a half weeks postpartum?!

Question

Don’t judge for me not knowing this but...
I had very sticky very clear cm after masturbating... is that just from masturbation or is it possible I’m ovulating already? We ebf and I thought that doesn’t happen while bf’ing?

Answer

Oh yes, you still ovulate.
Breastfeeding is only considered 70-80% effective as birth control and that's ONLY if you're nursing around the clock every 2 hours.
Breastfeeding is never 100%, which is why Drs prescribe the minipill along with BFing to prevent pregnancy, otherwise you can definitely get pregnant while breastfeeding.

Answer

Ovulation can start at 2 weeks postpartum. Breastfeeding as birth control is a myth as well as people saying you won’t start your period until you’re done breastfeeding. I was breastfeeding and pumping and got my period 2 months pp.
