    I've fallen prg twice while b'feeding - the first time I had no real symptoms other than a late period and a bit of nausea after about 6 weeks. That was the baby we lost though so I'm not sure if the lack of symptoms was an indication of what was to come.

    This time I had incredibly sore nipples on feeding (which lasted up until about 14 weeks) and noticed a huge drop in supply - these are the reasons i started to suspect something was up.

    Ive fallen pregnant two times whilst breastfeeding too....

    First time i just noticed drop in supply, and DD was fussy at breast (obv a change in the taste of the milk as they say in the first 12 weeks due to hormonal changes in body....)

    Second time i really didnt notice anything in relation to breastfeeding, just very,very tired.

    Good luck with your test !

    Yes! Thats it. Thanks for the reminder. My supply dropped off too. I took DD1 to get her 2 month check and she had lost weight. It completely crushed me and for the longest time I really felt like a failure.

    Yeah I was going to say that too, but didn't want to scare you. My supply dropped off completely. I think I was 5 weeks, when my DD moved to a bottle. I was a little clueless at the start, but soon realised why. Signs are looking good for you. Please let us know how you go, fingers crossed

    Hun I wasn't BFing when I fell pg with #2 and #3 and my BBs were nowhere near as sore as they were with #1. I think it is normal to not have as sore BBs for subsequent pgs. Good luck hun!!

    Yes, in the beginning it was very different for me. First time around I knew I was pg while it was still too early to POAS. Second time I had no idea at all, even though we were trying I didn't think I was pg. I only POAS because DH was convinced I was pg (my tummy was already showing by 3 weeks!).

    Thanks for the replies guys - very interesting indeed!!

    DS is down to just 1 feed a day now so I haven't really noticed a distinct dip in supply yet- although he does seem to be pulling off a little sooner than usual.....

    Day 38 today and still no sign of AF so a BFP is looking more likely. I will keep you posted!!!
