RE: BFing and GP

A comment in Brynn's post got me wondering. If I am still breastfeeding are my chances of getting pregnant small? I have been getting my period since about 6 months post birth. We have been ttc since around Oct. And I'm not worried since it hasn't been very long but now am wondering what the chances are while bfing?

  • I'm not going to be a ton of help, but I haven't taken any bc since H was born since we wouldn't mind another kiddo soon and I'm BFing but we aren't preggo. I haven't got AF yet though. I would think that by having your periods since 6 months pp you would be ovulating and could get pregnant.. But I'm no dr. Good luck!

  • I don't know the actual statistics or anything, but I do know your odds are better when you're not exclusively BFing - i.e. when baby starts solids.  I do know that you CAN get pregnant while BFing because I got pg last year while I was still BFing Delilah.  That PG ended in m/c (due to my issues, not because I was BFing).

  • My mom got pregnant twice while breastfeeding when the baby was only 3 months. Just an fyi :)
