A member asked:
Is it possible to get your period when you breastfeed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Though the hormones that your body releases during lactation (i.e. Breastfeeding) may decrease your chance of ovulation (i.e. Having a period), it does not decrease the chance to zero. You can certainly still have a period and become pregnant while breastfeeding.
