Can you get pregnant while breastfeeding?

Question

My OBGYN said I couldn’t. I’m 18 months post partum, and stopped birth control at the beginning of June. I haven’t had a period since before I’ve had my son. I had some light spotting at the end of June. But that was all, and the blood was brown rather than red.

Answer

Wow find a new obgyn

Answer

50/50 chance: The simple answer is that you can get pregnant while nursing. However, many moms experience a time of delayed fertility during breastfeeding. ... It is also important to mention that after six months, there is a higher chance that you might ovulate and possibly become pregnant before your first postpartum period.
it is possible to get pregnant less than 6 weeks after having a baby. However, it is impossible until a woman ovulates again. The point at which ovulation happens varies from person to person, which means some women could get pregnant earlier than others.
If you fully breastfeed (including at night) without any bottle feeding, your periods may not start again until you stop breastfeeding, or until you stop night-time breastfeeding. This is because the hormone that causes your body to make breast milk can stop your body making the hormones that control your periods.
Yes, you can get pregnant while you're breastfeeding. So if you don't want to have another baby just yet, your best bet is to use a reliable form of birth control as soon as you start having sex again after giving birth.
That said, it's also true that you may not ovulate for several months (or even longer) after giving birth, especially if you're exclusively breastfeeding your baby.

Answer

Yes you can get pregnant while you’re breast feeding.

Answer

Just like with any form of birth control (minus abstinence) there is always a chance of becoming pregnant. Nothing is fool proof. Use a double (or triple) form of BC. If you want to go the LaM method then use a condom as well. If you are on BC and using the LaM method then good. I always said with my luck I’d be that .0001% that would still get pregnant so it’s better to safe than sorry if another baby isn’t in the cards yet.

Answer

My cousin was exclusively breastfeeding and got pregnant with another baby that was born 11 months later (Irish twins) so yes it can happen but it's rare.

Answer

Yes you can! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I am 17w with my 3rd and got pregnant while exclusively breastfeeding my then 8 month old baby. However, I got pregnant right after my first period since having him. When I started giving him more solids and slowed up breastfeeding a bit my period returned.
