Could I be pregnant 11 weeks post partum?

mkr92

I had a baby boy almost eleven weeks ago,and I am exclusively breastfeeding. We went to a wedding and I didn't pump or breastfeed for eight hours (my son was at my mother in law's house drinking pumped milk.). That morning I was bleeding,and then it stopped two days later,and was somewhat light,but not very light. Could that have been my period? I've been feeling a little sick lately,but I have taken a few pregnancy tests,and they came back negative. But if that was my period, I wouldn't have had it yet. Could I be pregnant? Should I wait until a month after that bleeding? What is the most reliable home test? Can you share your experiences too? Thanks!:)

If you aren't on birth control and have had unprotected sex, you could be pregnant. However, a negative test means not pregnant at this time.

While I was breastfeeding my LOs I would take a pregnancy test like the 20th of every month. I thought it was helpful until I got my period back. It gave me piece of mind.

Use protection every time if you don't want to get pregnant. It is def possible. Breastfeeding is not birth control.

Some people are not as regular as others post partum. My p continued the regular cycle as i bf. Sorry i never experienced the no period cycle. And if the test says your not pregnant and you think you are, wait a week or so and take another test or doc visit to assure. Best of luck.

Sorry. You are not pregnant at this time.

Sorry!! I wasn't clear, I mean that I was bleeding again about 7wks PP, and if that were my period I wouldn't have had it yet for this month.

If you think you could be pregnant (if you have had unprotected sex in the last month) take a test. Nothing is going to change that that's all there is to it.

I never had a "normal" period while breastfeeding. If you think you're pregnant take a test.

If that were my period coming back seven months after giving birth,my second period after giving birth wouldn't have came yet.

I exclusively breasted a d my first period came back 4 weeks after giving birth so it could have just been your period also maybe some breakthrough bleeding because you didn't breast feed for 8hrs straight.
