Can You Get Pregnant While Breastfeeding? by JuoMedics1(op): 4:11am On Oct 23
Yes, you can get pregnant while breastfeeding, even if your menstrual period has not yet returned.
‎
‎How Breastfeeding Affects Fertility
‎
‎1) Ovulation comes first: You release an egg about two weeks before you get your first postpartum period. This means you can conceive before you even realize your fertility has returned.
‎
‎2) Hormonal suppression: Breastfeeding releases the hormone prolactin which lowers the levels of hormones that trigger ovulation. However, this suppression is not complete or permanent.
‎
‎The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM)
‎
‎Breastfeeding can be used as a natural birth control method—known as the Lactational Amenorrhea Method—but it is only effective if all of the following strict conditions are met:
‎
‎• Your baby is under 6 months old.
‎• You are exclusively breastfeeding (the baby receives no formula, water, or solid foods).
‎• You feed the baby frequently, with no gaps longer than 4 hours during the day and 6 hours at night.
‎• Your menstrual period has not returned.
‎
‎Your risk of getting pregnant goes up when:
‎• Your baby is older than 6 months.
‎• You introduce formula, solid foods, or a pacifier/bottle.
‎• Your baby starts sleeping through the night or you drop a feeding.
‎• Your menstrual period comes back.

Re: Can You Get Pregnant While Breastfeeding? by mariovito(m): 2:48pm On Oct 23
Ordinarily yes

Because the frequent suckling by the baby signals the women's body that it's not due to conceive

But there are exceptions, some women are different.

My madam took in while still breastfeeding our baby that was about 8 months old.

Same happened to her sister, I guess it's hereditary in some cases.

Sure. That is so rampant and happening around us.

In short, some women or breastfeeding mothers are not even aware only to get to the hospital and discover that they are pregnant while still breast-feeding their child or children,
