Has any gotten pregnant while still nursing?

Question

I'm currently ttc #2. I'm still nursing my little guy rather frequently throught the day and an occasional night feed. Anyone else in this situation or got pregnant ttc? Period started back at 6 months and I didnt think itd be hard but the more I read the more I'm seeing it's not as easy to conceive if breastfeeding. What are your thoughts?

Answer

I got pregnant at 3 months PP after my July baby. I was EBF and never had a period. 
We weren’t preventing because we wanted another baby, but certainly didn’t think it would be THAT soon! 😂 oh well. We’re happy now.

Answer

I've had friends get pregnant while breastfeeding before. They thought the same thing and decided not to go on birth control and ended up pregnant trying NOT to conceive. So it's entirely possible, especially if you're 1) having regular periods and 2) not breastfeeding as much.
That's my two cents. I'm still breastfeeding as well, I have regular periods and not on birth control and I haven't gotten pregnant yet. Although I'm not exactly trying that hard either. So there's that as well.

Answer

I was 6mo PP when I got my period back and still nurse 3x per day. It took 8mo to conceive, but just found out I’m pregnant with #2 due Aug ‘20. I should also mention it took 6mo to get pregnant with my first LO, so I don’t know if it took awhile ttc because I was nursing or for another reason.

Answer

I’m still nursing my July 18 boy and just found out today that we’re due with #2 in August 20. I was also on the mini pill. But so excited!

Answer

I have only breastfed my daughter since she was born but still got my period 3 months PP. I got pregnant back in late May/early June, 11 months PP with baby#2(boy) so I am currently 25 weeks pregnant. My daughter still nurses in the mornings when we wake up, before her nap(s) (sometimes she doesn’t sleep long for her first nap & needs 2) & before bed. She has been night weaned for the last 3 months. My supply has definitely decreased, but I’m still producing enough for her to get sleepy off of. It’s hard but it’s not impossible. I plan to have her completely weaned by the time her brother makes his debut, but we shall see what happens. Wish me luck! 🤞🏼

Answer

Same boat as you! Still nursing a lot and we’ve been ttc for 4 months. No luck yet! I’ve questioned if the frequent nursing may be the issue? But then I hear so many people say they got pregnant super quick while breastfeeding 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I got pregnant at 11months PP still nursing then with irregular period

Answer

Got pregnant at 9M pp still nursing plenty day and night this time. No periods either. 
I got pregnant right as my eldest turned 1 and only had cycles return a month prior, but she was sleeping through the night and only nursing twice a day. I lost the baby at 14W. 
Are you tracking BBT or cervical fluid? Often when in your cycle you ovulate may change when you are breastfeeding.

Answer

I started ttc baby #2 when my little guy was 9 months. I was having regular periods and tracking with opks. I didn’t get pregnant until the very month I stopped breastfeeding when he was 13 months. 
But I also have two very good friends who got pregnant while nursing unexpectedly, so I guess it just depends!

Answer

We got pregnant when our little one was 10months old and I was still nursing up to 12months. The hardest was once I was pregnant I was just so much more exhausted since I had two babies taking nutrients from me!
