So im breastfeeding... An my babys almost 6 months old i know bf is sorta like a birth control naturaly pr is supposed…

I want to know to as well but the thing is my bf did finish in me 2 different times but I heard it's harder to get pregnant idky though but I still worry

Breastfeeding isn't a reliable form of birth control. It CAN be, but from my understanding you have to follow certain guidelines to a T in order for it to be reliable. I got pregnant off precum, so just make sure to be careful...unless you're trying for another baby. You're more fertile after already having a baby.

Use birth control next time if you don't want to get pregnant.

So iv heard! @kimberlyyyy thats why i was wondering an ya idk the guidelines an didnt really think about all this until im like why am i throwing up... @mrsmoore ya were deff more fertile after already having a baby!

@mrsmoore for my breastfeeding was effective birth control till 9 months that's when I felt my body start ovulating again. & also when I got pregnant @kmrie I think you should test & definitely get on BC if you don't want to get pregnant right now

@nikkisanders, i didnt say i didnt want to get pregnant... I was just simply asking a question about the situation... An im not for all that birth control stuff being put into my body iv heard what it does to people an how they may never be able to have babys as an effect from it.. Ya im good

@aek91, right i was jw... How do you no when your body's ovulating again?

Thanks so much! @kimberlyyyy

my friend just had her son

she was bf and got pregnant

@domijac3, did her period come back before she got pregnant again?

no

Well for me I felt cramps like I was about to start my period & never did & also the discharge

@aek91, I still never got a period only spotted off the shot but have been off it awhile now,I always feel I'm getting my period never happens,my discharge is always different and I used to feel implantation like cramps but tool a test it was negative ,@aek91

@domijac3, oh I thought you had to have one ..

@mrsmoore I still haven't had a period since before I got pregnant with kaine in 2014! but I was on depo when I got pregnant with my second it took for ever for me to regulate again I had to lose weight even it took me 3 months to get pregnant with him. but like I said for me I felt the cramps like I was going to start my period but I never came & my discharge was normal but every one is different. depo really fucks you up bad

@aek91, oh wow... Ya my period hasnt come back yet either an i feel cramps every now an then inhave for awhile an now that i think of it too iv notice my discharge is more an more lately an idk what thats supposed to mean but ya deff thinking about it all now... @mrsmoore

@kmrie take a test for sure! its really confusing because you don't know if you should or not but I went through a couple before I got a positive I could just feel like I was pregnant & one day after feeling miserable for a whole day I was like you know what let me test sure enough I got 2 positives

@kmrie, I'm seven month pp ,but I'll be testing again to be sure I hate bc as well ,

Its all crazy i defd will have to test here soon but deff nervous now! Cuz im gunna keep thinking about it an i no you can like trick your body into thinking you are! Ehh

@aek91, @mrsmoore ya iv also noticed like i need to pee all the time! An i already remember that all to well!

@kmrie def test for sure!

@mrsmoore, crazy that its even possible to do that! @aek91 i will!

I got pregnant with my second while breastfeeding.

How old was your baby? Did you get your period before you found out you were pregnant again? @momma003

She was 7-8 months. yes I did have a few periods before getting pregnant. but I know 2 other people who didnt have a period& ended up pregnant 2-4 months after giving birth.

Oh wow! Crazy! @momma003 ya i will be testing here prob within the next few weeks if i keep noticing things... Dont wanna trick my body an make myself think i am..

I can understand that. lol
