I gave birth 6months ago and i am breastfeeding. my menstruation still didn't came back. can i still get pregnant?

Yes: You can still get pregnant. The hormones that your body makes while you breast feed also suppress your need to have a period/bleed. But you are still able to release an egg from your ovary and thus get pregnant. Use protection every time with sexual activity. You will not be able to predict or feel an egg release.
