Let me tell you a story that my friend's
Dr. Told her.
There was a lady who had a child. She
heard that you couldn't get pregnant while
you breastfed so she breastfed and and had
unprotected sex. She got pregnant in no
time and delivered twins. She still
hadnt learned her lesson because she
breastfed again thinking it was a form of
contriceptive and she then became pregnant
with triplets. After that she quicly
realized that breastfeeding was not a form
of contriceptive. This Dr. Told my
friend this story after she had a girl and
then became pregnant with twins. They
however we're trying for more kids and it
was not unexpected.
On the other hand I have a really good
friend who breastfed and had unprotected
sex and never became pregnant at all. So
I don't have any hard concrete evidence
but i'd say it is possible.
Can nursing stop ovulation however dont
trust thia as a form of birth control. It
can still happen some women dont ovulate
for a few moths after delivery others
start immediately. Dont risk it unless
you want irish twins
Oh I hate how the words sometimes get
switched around what I ment was nursing
can sometimes prevent ovulation ok that
should make more sense when you read both
posts sorry

Yeah, you definitely can get pregnant. I
had a friend who got pregnant last year
and she was still nursing her first son.
She didn't go on bc for some reason and
now has two sons 14 months apart.

I know a woman who believed that old wives
tale and was preg at her six week
check-up.You are at your most fertile
right after your delivery,so be careful
for the next few months!!Patty
