to ask if anyone's fallen pregnant while bf'ing before getting their period back?

It's got to be pretty unlikely, right?

DP and I DTD on Thursday for the first time in months. Our baby has dropped feeds until bedtime and during the night only remain and I haven't yet had a period. Last week I felt crampy and thought it might be due but nothing has occurred. Now since DTD I feel crampy on and off, have lower back pain and (sorry for TMI) lots of snot like cervical mucus. All of which have been the first signs of pregnancy for me with previous DC.

I just feel 'full' in my tummy; I can't explain it. Surely pregnancy is highly unlikely in these circumstances? Has anyone here fallen pregnant before their period returned?

Yep, me (and had only dtd once too!). 15 month gap between DC. And my mum (with me), a horrifying 11 month gap between me and my sibling!

I had to tell a woman the other day at work (A and E) that she was pregnant her baby (5th) was only 5 months old! She was a bit shocked to say the least.

I haven't but chatting to my midwife about contraception the other week she said she sees this a lot.

Don't rely on bf as a contraceptive
