Getting pregnant while breastfeeding

10 replies

Well, I am breastfeeding 1.5 year old.
My period came back in August, 11th. Had it September, October, same date.
In November- nothing at the moment. Can't say when I ovulated - as I never test for it but rather keep an eye on discharge.
On 11th November had "action" and condom split.....
The question is - whats the chances of me getting pregnant?
Since the day of action was when my period was supposed to come, so I assume I cant be fertile at that time.
Whats your thoughts ?

Highly unlikely if you had sex around 2 weeks after especially combined with breast feeding

Thank you. That's what I think, but still unsure, as I had clear stretchy discharge then. And my period came back after 1.5 years.
Not breastfeeding exclusively. She is 1year 6 months and eats also.
I got pregnant with my son while breastfeeding.

Maybe do a test - I got pregnant whilst BF (planned, not an accident) but I guess your cycle timing could still be irregular given it only recently came back

It’s unlikely but definitely possible. Do a test when you can.

Thank you for your input. Yes I will do a test obviously after a week. With my 4 kids I got pregnant with 1 time, when totally didn't expect it.
So i won't be surprised if I DO turn out to be pregnant.
Husband is expecting it to be positive, even though we not planning for more, but will be happy.

I also think it's unlikely, the only thing that puts doubt is my discharge ( I check it) it was stretchy and clear then. I always got pregnant when I had that. So that's why am still thinking that I could get pregnant.

anything is possible. i got pregnant with my 3rd a day after my period finished

anka1107 · 16/11/2023 21:42

Yep this is story of my life. Got pregnant while breastfeeding and with condom, not split, nothing, but still.
So I doubt until I haven't done test.

Breastfeeding for 1.5 years is a long time, and by this time the baby might not be feeding much and is probably on quite a solid diet. So in my opinion it might be good to test, fertility is quite likely to be good.

I still managed to get pregnant with a 7 month old child whilst breastfeeding, but everyone is different.

Thank you for your response.
Yes I know its possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding, I got pregnant while breastfeeding with my previous kids, baby was 1 year and I got pregnant with another one. But the thing is that this time, I didn't have period this month, that's why it's confusing. But time will tell, its been 7 days since action, and its early to test, but I did - it was negative, but will do again in few days.
