How hard is it to get pregnant when breastfeeding w/out a condom? Have you become pregnant while breastfeeding?

With you having a period last month you can get pregnant. Period means ovulation. good luck maybe you should test

Women in Europe commonly get pregnant while nursing and will continue to nursing as long as they can (pregnancy stops the milk around the 5th month)
I got pregnant while nursing. It took 14 months (my 1st wouldn’t take a bottle, not even a pacifier so I nursed 100% the 1st year) and I continued to nurse until I was 4 months pregnant. But your prolactin levels have to be low enough to allow ovulation because high prolactin prevents ovulation.

Here’s a website to explain more about nursing and conception. And it goes into details on how to conceive while nursing and about how prolactin effects the lh hormone. It even has statistics.
Nursing and pregnancy put high demands on our bodies and prolactin prevents that from happening. But you can fool the body by decreasing nursing to only 5 times a day and having each nursing session only up to 15 mins. We tried beginning immediately after my 1st was born but it wasn’t until he started drinking juice that I noticed better cycles and ovulation.

Be sure to take a multi-vitamin to keep up with the nursing demands placed on your body. That will help get your body ready for another pregnancy as well.

To the responders above — Periods don’t equal ovulation. There’s what is called Anovulation in which an egg fails to mature and ovulate and you still get a period. I had very regular periods starting 6 weeks from having birth but I wasn’t ovulating or getting my lh surge until my 1st was about 9 months old. Again that’s because I nursed exclusively.

You’ve ‘heard’ wrong.

While most women will not ovulate/have periods for 6-12 months or more while breastfeeding, some women do start up earlier. And once you are ovulating/having periods, you can assume yourself to be fertile again, and have the same odds of pregnancy as any other ovulatory woman.
