I have 3 children. They just nurse forever and I don't get my period back and since we wanted 3 they came along as soon as I night weaned but before a period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727800 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:48:21 +0000 pachamama 2727800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I have been on 1 session for 2 months now, you'd think I would have gotten my period...(I've HPT every week, not pregnant) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727799 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:46:56 +0000 pachamama 2727799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@YogiRunner: no, I rarely,use OPKs, I only tested when I noticed CM change and because my OB prescribed me progesterone which must be started 3 days post O. I'm very hesitant to ride the OPK train as I had a terrible time conceiving my first and I don't want to overthink this or get nutso. Which I am doing :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727798 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:40:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2727798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My body has a few of the false starts people are talking about- particularly the changes in CM- for a few months before I actually got my period back. I was still nursing 2-3 times a day. </p> <p>Period finally came back 2 weeks after she dropped to one session a day, 2 weeks after that I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727797 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:32:37 +0000 YogiRunner 2727797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just read last night in TCOYF that your body might give you a few "false starts" with fertile-quality cervical fluid a few times as it gears up to ovulate the first time post partum. I'm not sure if that means it would produce enough LH for a positive OPK before you're actually ovulating, but either way it sounds like you're almost there! </p> <p>So do you take an OPK every day? My almost 1 year old is down to 3 nursing sessions a day and is probably about to drop to 2, and I've got all the O signs, so I'm wondering when it'll happen myself... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727791 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:21:22 +0000 pachamama 2727791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: yeah I bet my body is gearing up to ovulate. Maybe I did, but itd be a long shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727786 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 18:07:55 +0000 Ajsmommy 2727786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727780 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 17:22:53 +0000 skipra 2727780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO2 is proof that indeed you can! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727778 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 17:10:56 +0000 FaithFertility 2727778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, you have to ovulate to get the period first!!!!! And if you get OH well then.......no.AF </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727776 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 16:41:36 +0000 IRunForFun 2727776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can but you have to ovulate. Most people who got pregnant while breastfeeding probably would have gotten their period back that month if they hadn't gotten pregnant. Your body can gear up to ovulate and then not actually ovulate, though, so if you don't get your period this month and don't get pregnant, that could explain the positive OPK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727775 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 16:41:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2727775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: I was three months post partum, ovulated, got pregnant and then my period didn't come because I was pregnant. Had I not gotten pregnant I would have gotten my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727773 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 16:28:31 +0000 bees_knees 2727773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: when did you get the pos OPK? If you don't get your period 2ish weeks later, you're either pregnant (yay!) or it was an LH surge but you didn't actually ovulate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-really-get-pregnant-without-a-period-while-breastfeeding#post-2727772 Sat, 22 Apr 2017 16:28:20 +0000 Coral 2727772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!

We are TTC but I still haven't gotten my period as we are still nursing just 4-8 minutes a day. Is it possible to get pregnant without a period due to nursing? </p> <p>I took an OPK and it was a nice positive and I've noticed some real CM changes in the last 2 months FWIW. I feel like I'm close to menstruating... </p>
