I have 2 children, 14 months apart. I was still breastfeeding dc1 exclusively, including several nighttime feeds, when I conceived dc2, having had no period post partum. I took a pregnancy test when dc1 was about 7 months old, because I was starting to feel nauseous going upstairs and wanted to vomit at the smell of fish, etc, just as I had during my first pregnancy. Obviously, I was already roughly 2 months pregnant at that time, but the test was negative. A scan at the doctor's confirmed the pregnancy.
Fastforward to the present. Dc2 is 6 and a half months old. Until last week she was exclusively breastfed, with nighttime feeds, etc. I have had no period since 2006. And guess what, I have started to feel nauseous and so on again. I have just taken a pregnancy test, and it was negative. Could it be the breastfeeding hormones affecting the result, or is it really negative this time and I am feeling nauseous etc for some other reason? Has anyone else had an experience like this?
