ok so I'm curious I still haven't gotten my first period yet we have had a couple of accidents one right after we got the OK to return to umm well anyway and one last night but anyway thats beside the issue I'm still nursing before I give her any formula but nearly as much as before and whenever we go like to my mother in laws (which is quite a bit) we don't nurse every feeding (I know BAD mommy sleep.gif ) so anyway I have been nauseas at really RANDOM times and I don't know if its because of nursing or not and I get emotional for no reason and I had a ghost period the other day and I did that with Autumn in the beginning. Could I be pregnant I thought it was pretty rare when your breastfeeding and I REALLY don't want to take a test BLAH I was going to get the mirena but you can't get bc after having a baby apparently until you have had your first period and i don't handle pills very well at all. I have also had some weird cramping but NOTHING like period cramps and a lot like I did when I was pregnant I dunno pregnancy makes your body do some weird things AFTER you have your baby I SOO don't know my body right now and I HATE that!! This got long wow anyway I can't find anything in google or kellymom

yep, breast feeding is not a sure thing for birth control.
I had returned to ovulating way before my first real period showed up.

You can get PG when you are breastfeeding. I was breastfeeding exclusively, and quite often, and my ms still returned after only four months. I've hear of people getting PG before their first ms shows up, they just seemed to time it right. I'd probably test if I were you. Let us know. hug.gif

Katie and Luke are both proof that you can get pg while bf. rolleyes.gif We knew it was possible and wanted a big family so it was okay but this time DH has to suit up if he wants to play ball if you know what I mean. rolling_smile.gif
