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.

thanks ladies, I did find it odd you can't get preg but its still a 50/50 chance you can..And with me I have irregular periods so I never now when I am ovulating.....Thanks again....I just had my son aug so I havn't had a period yet. Thanks

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

Whoah could not imagine being pregnant at my 6 week, I wasnt even thinking about sex for like months
