Answer

Where is your doctor located? I want to make sure I never go there! You absolutely CAN GET PREGNANT AND ARE ACTUALLY MORE FERTILE WHILE BREASTFEEDING!!!!!!
Tell your doctor he/she needs to go back to school

Answer

Well 
When you breastfeed, the same hormones that make milk, called prolactin, also suppress the release of hormones that cause eggs to mature and become fertile and the lining of the womb to nourish fertile eggs. This is why breastfeeding mothers usually notice a delay in the return of their menstrual periods. 
Most breastfeeding moms experience lactation amenorrhea, which means they have little or no periods. This can lead them to believe that they are not ovulating, but the University of Maryland Medical Center says that getting pregnant while breastfeeding can and does happen.
Can happen, not will happen. Breastfeeding use to be the way women in the old days prevented having children. The odds are around 2-5% when breastfeeding.

Answer

Do not listen to those who say you can't et pregnant this is a lie. My sister in law, cousin and a few friends have all gotten pregnant while breastfeeding doctors told them it was safe it wasn't. My gyno said go on the mini pill or iud or something to ensure you don't get pregnant unless you want to :)

Answer

Um your dr is wrong you absolutely can get pregnant while breastfeeding period or no period breastfeeding is not a form of birth control you can ovulate and not even know it you do not have to have a period to ovulate

Answer

And for those who are currently bashing me, I didn't say it was impossible. 
2ndly after you give birth or miscarriage yes your chances are higher for 3 or so months because of prepregnancy hormones still in your system, after 6 months of breast feeding it becomes harder to get pregnant because of the build up of anti-pregnancy hormones.
Again not impossible, but breastfeeding after 6 months has been used for 1000'S of years.
Just because you failed to wait several months before getting it on and getting knocked up again does not make it untrue.
Just cause you take the pill don't mean antibiotics will get you pregnant. It can happen doesn't mean it will. Variables.
This lady asked about it after a year+ of breastfeeding.  Not immediately after childbirth.
