Anyone else fell pregnant while breastfeeding?

Question

My LO is nearly 11 weeks old, breastfeeding only.. still haven’t had a period is that right? When would my period be due to return usually?

Answer

I breastfed til 14mo and didn't get my PP period til 17mo PP.
However, you can still be ovulating. Breastfeeding alone is not effective birth control! It's considered only 70-80% effective IF you are feeding every 2 hours around the clock, then they prescribe the minipill usually to cover the other 20-30%.

Answer

My sister did. She was 4 mos along before she even found out because she didn't have a period due to breastfeeding. She was having dizzy/fainting spells and the doctor came back and was like, "Girl, you hella pregnant." Her son was only about 5 or 6 mos old. So she got pregnant pretty much as soon as she started having sex again.

Answer

Breastfeeding and I just got my period at 7 weeks 😭

Answer

I breastfed around the clock until I started working, LO was around 10 months after that it was just night time feedings and didn’t get pregnant again until I stopped breastfeeding completely when he was 16 months

Answer

I think it varies person to person my son is almost 6 months and I haven’t got my period yet

Answer

Still haven't gotten mine at 7 months.

Answer

So it would be quite difficult to get pregnant while breastfeeding often?
