My husband and i are talking about having our second child. my cycle hasnt started since i gave birth to our son 4 months ago. were wanting to try in the next 6-8 months can i get pregnant without having a period if it doesnt start again?

If your child has been breast fed, sometimes your period will be delayed. Without a normal cycle, ovulation and conception are rarely occurring. If you are not breastfeeding, you should see a GYN doctor if you do not have a period after stopping breastfeeding for more than 3 months.

The primary answer is yes, you can ovulate before you have your first postpartum menses and get pregnant if that happens. Many have thought they couldn't and get a surprise.

Yes. If you have sex at the appropriate time at the first ovulation, you could find yourself pregnant without having had a period. Take prenatal vitamins and establish contact with an obstetrician for antenatal care. Wish you good health!
