Hey
I'm BF my baby atm but we would like to start trying Nov/Dec BUT I haven't got my AF back at all. How do you know when it is possible to get pregnant again? (I'm on the mini pill and I do wonder if that has anything to do with not having it back yet.) Is it possible to get pregnant without having AF back and while BF? ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

My GF weaned her daughter at approx 13 months still had no AF and a couple of months later got a BFP without ever getting AF back so its highly possible that you could get UTD without having AF at all. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Totally possible to get pg without getting AF back, however, it will be a case of catching that first ovulation...
Its a bit of a wait and see game really, just keep trying and hopefully your body starts ovulating soon  -------------

I was on the mini pill after having DS1, was BF and came off mini pill when DS1 was approx 11months, and we were blessed enough to conceive DS2 without a period.
Dont know how, we werent exactly in the trying to conceive mode as I didnt expect to ovulate straight away (I had heard it usually took 6-12months for your period to return after stopping the minipill)!! But there you are, it is done....!! ------------- 4 boys!! 7 years, 5 years, 2 years and 8 weeks... |

Yep totally possible. I know plenty of people who it's happened to. I'm BF and still no period, but not planning on TTC until early next year. I sort of have a range of dates I'd like to have the baby, so if still no AF, I might come off the pill right at the start of them, rather than waiting until the ideal time.
Good luck!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I got AF back straight away. Had bleeding full on from delivery tat lasted a few weeks & then AF back a couple of weeks later...I get so jealous of the ones that don't get it back for ages lol...
I was fully BF DS2 & he weaned himself at around 7-8 mths & I did not know why, was not keeping track of AF so did a test & was pg.. As others have said you can get pg before the return of AF.. |

I was also fully BF but got AF back at 6wks and only took a couple of irregular cycles before it was back to regular.  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I'm on the mini-pill and still BFing. I have had AF twice since having baby and then it disappeared completely. Doctor said it is normal for women on the mini-pill to have no AF for 6-12 months.
But good thing about mini-pill is it is short acting, so I would think getting UTD wouldn't be too hard. Especially being you are in you early 20's. -------------

Ok heres a new question, beause I haven't had AF for so long, how do I know if I'm not already up the duff or not? Should I wait a month then test just to see if AF turns up now I'm off the pill? ------------- Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">
