Can I fall Pregnant????

[Ange80]

Just a question

I am fully breastfeeding my 3 month old daughter and on the minipill.

I have forgotten to take the minipill for the past couple of weeks ( I know naughty naughty).

I haven't yet got a period, just wondering if anyone knows the chances of falling pregnant while fully breastfeeding and no period yet.

Is it highly likely that I could fall/be pregnant again.

Its hard to know really. Even if you haven't had your af return, you could still be ovulating. But if your baby is exclusively BF then the chances are low that you could be pg. The only way to know would be to get a test and do it.

The statistics are that you are 98% safe from pg while bfing during the first 6 months only, and only if you are exclusively bfing (no formula or solids), are feeding at least once in the night, and have no AF yet. If you have all those conditions you would be unlikely to fall pg, but of course anything is possible!!

You're probably not pg, but it's probably a good idea to get back on the minipill. Better safe than sorry.

It's possible, but to be on the safe side maybe get a BT to be sure before you go back on the pill.

I've had three AF's, but none for eight weeks now - we're not using contraception and I'm not UTD yet, so hopefully you'll be safe.

I got the depo needle, but when it ran out nearly 2 months ago I forgot to get the next one.
I'm exclusively bfing - pretty much every 2 - 3 hours through the day & at least twice through the night atm, so I'm pretty sure I'm safe - no AF yet, but you do ovulate about 2 weeks before you get AF, so there is a chance it will happen before AF even returns.

I fell pregnant with baby #3 whilst breastfeeding and on mini pill (unlike you though i was taking it, i didnt forget). My baby was 9 months old - so on solids - therefore not fully breastfed.

I would say its highly unlikely that you are UTD.....but hey, stranger things have happened. Put your mind at ease and test....good luck.

Hi there,

just wondering if anyone knows the chances of falling pregnant while fully breastfeeding and no period yet.

If you look at my signature you will notice that Charlie and Lexie are very close together........

I was fully BF'ing Charlie and was religiously taking the mini pill, and I still fell pregnant........

i fell pg on the mini pill and b/f twins...i missed one pill. so yes, it can happen!
