    Hi Star22,
    Yes you can. O happens before AF so it is possible to concieve while breastfeeding before AF has returned.
    If you search through the articles on this site I am sure you will find something about recognising returning fertility.
    How long have you been breastfeeding for? How many feeds per day is bubs having?
    Some women are more sensitive to the breastfeeding hormones and O does not return until they stop or bubs cuts down a lot on the breastfeeding. It can depend on the number of feeds per day rather than the amount of time between feeds.
    Also getting acquainted with your CM may help in recognising your returning fertility and whether you are O'ing, There is info re this here too!
    Hope this helps.
