My baby is just 12wks old, no period yet and xpressing my breastmilk 2x a day with total average of 18oz.. is it still safe to have unprotected sex?

NO: You can ovulate without having a period. You never know when it will happen. If you don't want another baby now have protected sex!

No: Breast feeding is not a birth control method, you can ovulate before you have a period. Use condoms every time or discuss birth control with your ob.
