Did you conceive whilst breastfeeding?

Just having a wee wobble but understand it's time to use contraception and get the map pill which I will do.

What are the chances of getting pregnant whilst exclusively breastfeeding? I have a three month old who is exclusively breastfed and doesn't take a dummy. I've had unprotected sex several times over the festive period.

Anecdotally did you or anyone you know fall pregnant whilst exclusively breastfeeding?

@starsinyourpies I don't like to tell you this but I fell pregnant even though I took the morning after pill.....it's only 95% effective! DD is 9 months old now 🙃 I wasn't breastfeeding though

Me, when DD was 9 months, so eating solids but still breastfeeding lots especially at night. It was rather a surprise, but I wasn't being very careful so...

@bfmama2019 you would be better to start your own thread as posters will miss your post and just answer the op

@bfmama2019 mine came back at 17 months. Was still bf during the night, stopped during the day as I wanted to ttc.

Yep. It was intentional, but extremely quick!
