Long shot but has anyone gotten pregnant while bfing (not exclusively, necessarily), without getting a period first after baby?
If so, what were your symptoms? How far along were you?
-
I got pregnant at 12 months pp while still breastfeeding, but I got my period back at 7 months pp.
I'm sure it's possible!First 2 symptoms were CRAZY fatigue and sorer than usual breasts
-
DUDE! TEST AND BE PREGNANT SO I CAN LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU!!!
-
not me but one of my best friends. she couldn't understand why she wasn't losing any baby weight and found out she was pregnant while still nursing her almost 4 month old. She has Irish twins!
-
@FutureMrsMcK: lol!!
Yes. It can happen. Breastfeeding is not birth control. g:)
-
I haven't had a period since August 2010. I got pregnant when LO was 20 months and never had a period. My symptoms were getting a sinus infection and being exhausted.
-
@sera_87: Are you pregnant?! Say yes! SO EXCITING!
-
I wasn't BFing but hadn't had a period for over a year due to PCOS, when I got my BFP.
POAS lady!
-
@Maysprout: Were these your early symptoms the first time, too? I am at a year PP with no period and find myself wondering sometimes now, especially if my symptoms might not be the same!
-
@photojane: @wheres_c: hahaha. It won't be tonight - everything is closed and I don't have any on hand. Don't get too excited though, I'm almost positive it's a BFN.
@FutureMrsMcK: your comment literally made me laugh out loud. Thanks.
-
@bpcmarj: Being tired was the same but I thought this time it was just tired from being sick. Once LO was a year and we were being less careful bc we wanted another LO I bought a bunch of tests off amazon and tested every 1-2 weeks. I worried about not having any definite sign so that made me feel better.
-
My mom!! She got pregnant 4m after having me. So unfortunately, her sign was loss of milk supply
she couldnt handle the craziness of post partum plus the fatigue of early pregnancy so it took a huge toll on her supply.
-
@sera_87: did you test?
-
Test!!!!!
-
@Sugar.Biscuit: @HLK208: yep. BFN.
Can't say I'm too upset, to be honest.
