Chances of PG while nursing?

newbie_05 · October 2009

We aren't trying, but we aren't really avoiding either. I have had a normal period (without birth control) for the last 2 months and am nursing and pumping right now.

Just wondering how many of you go pregnant while nursing - whether trying or not.

I kind of hope I do this month, but am wondering if I am crazy to go for 3 under 4

i nurse DS every 4 hours during the day and once at night, i had 4 periods and i just found out im pg. we were not ttc--but it was our first month of not avoiding. I am still in shock it happend so fast.

I got pg with DD#2 when DD#1 was only 9 mo old and still nursing. It was the first cycle of TTC (I had gotten my first period just the cycle before). I nursed DD#1 up till 12.5 mo. while pg also.

I found out I was pg when DD was almost 8 months. I was still BFing every 3-4 hours during the day. I had 3 periods that were all inconsistent.

I was still nursing DD when I got pregnant. I had stopped pumping at work and had night-weaned though, so it was mostly just mornings and evenings.

I never had a pp period and found out I was pregnant when DS was about 4 months.

I was EBF at the time.

I EBF and no pp period and ended up conceiving when DD was about 4 months.

I got pregnant while still nursing DD (she was 9 months)....we weren't trying and just had an oops night and now we have DS! Best oops in the entire world! Breastfeeding does not = birth control!

I got pg while my DD was 8 months old EBFing with normal periods.

I'm EBFing and just got pregnant.

KABKD · October 2009

We were not trying and I got PG while nursing. I was nursing DS 2-3 times a day when it happened and had had a normal period for 2 months.

I got pg nursing 8 times a day and on the minipill. ANYTHING's possibly.

wareto · October 2009

I concieved #2 while I was still nursing DS about every four hours. I only had one period after DS was born before getting the BFP.

hamilton.ja · October 2009

DS is currently nursing about 4-5 times a day (sometimes more but he doesn't get milk past 5 times a day, so really that is just comfort I think). I got pregnant without trying.

stressshan · October 2009

I'm nursing and pumping. I got my period back at 4 months pp and I just found out I'm pregnant. She had never had formula. I'm hoping to continue to nurse for as long as possible.

Jerseyjessie · October 2009

With my 1st baby I was EBF'ing while home on leave and when I went back to work I was pumping at work. I got my 1st pp at 5 1/2 months and got PG a month later.

We too weren't avoiding nor trying..just seeing what happens..

I got pregnant nursing (down to 3x's a day), and on the minipill. I only had one period pp. I did take the minipill consistently every night, so I have no idea how it happened. Anything's possible!

P.G.&A.M. · October 2009

I got (am) pregnant while nursing. No pp period. I will have 3 kiddos with the oldest being 4 .

charmgal · October 2009

DD nurses 5-6 times a day, we don't supplement with formula. I got AF back last month and just got a (very very) faint line on a test this afternoon, I'm planning to take another in the morning! Looks like it is possible though!

qtiekiki · October 2009

I got PG when DD is 9 months and still nursing. I had 2 regular periods and it was the 2nd cycle of not avoiding. We were surprised that it happened so fast too since it took over a year to conceive DD.

Asquared · October 2009

We were not trying and it still happened for us!

FriendlyFanny · October 2009

I unintentionally got pregnant while nursing after going through fertility treatments to concieve DD. We had sex once the month we concieved #3.
