There are many myths about the
possibilities of getting pregnant while you are breastfeeding. Many say there
is no possibility to conceive at this time, while others do not have the
security of having sex during that time. So here I bring what experts say and
some recommendations.
The answer to the question of
whether you can get pregnant during breastfeeding is: yes. In general, it is
less fertile but not infertile at that time. Although you may not get your
period for months after giving birth, your body usually releases its first egg
before it reaches the period.
So if you do not want to get
pregnant while breastfeeding, you should start using a contraceptive method as
soon as you start having sex again. Many doctors recommend using barrier
methods like condoms or a diaphragm, but some think that the new oral
contraceptives are safe to use during lactation without the baby in any way.
If you are giving breast to your
baby exclusively, day and night, you may not menstruate again for one year
after giving birth. If your baby sleeps through the night is still young, your
period may become faster, usually between three and eight months.
