Is it possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding?

Yes: Breast-feeding does prevent ovulation, and if you do not ovulate, you can't get pregnant...But not always! the issue with breast-feeding is the absence of menstrual periods, which can help women plot their cycles for birth control. Yep, one egg can sneak through, and bam -- lots of plans have to be reworked! contraception is a must during nursing: condoms, iuds, or other hormonal choices.

Yes: It is definitely possible. The "lactation amenorrhea" method of birth control only works if you are exclusively breastfeeding (absolutely no formula), have not had a period yet, delivered baby less than 6 months ago, have not started any solid foods, and do not go more than 4 hours in the day or 6 hours at night without feeding or pumping.

Yes, though: The chances are lower b/c breast feeding usually inhibits ovulation. We usually recommend a Progesterone only supplement, micronor, (norethindrone) in your situation because it can happen.
