You can't get pregnant unless you're ovulating, but you ovulate before you get your period so you could get pregnant before you have your first period

I was told by my HV that when EBF it can delay getting your first period pp. She said it can be anything up to 6 months before it arrives so it’s probably nothing but for your own piece of mind it might be worth doing a test.

Yes you can so i would take a test, I had my period arrive after 3-4 months post partum and EBF also

Yes you can x

It's much less likely that you get your period when you are EBF however you can still get pregnant because you have no idea when you'll actually ovulate for the first time

Yes, yes you can. My twins were conceived 8 month's pp while ebf my first after either a stomach bug or 2 days of missed pills. I only had 2 periods! But you can have ovulated before your first period and have no clue. Whatever the story is, get the morning after pill just in case if you don't want to risk it xxx

I started my period 2-3 days ago now, EBF from the beginning and it’s been 4 months since birth and my after birth bleeding (lochia) lasted 7 weeks so I would have been free of a period for about a month before I could have fallen pregnant again without knowing and that would have been 2 weeks ago
Omg thank you so much girls. Really appreciate it. Running to get the morning after right now! 💗
