it means your body is back to normal and fertile again. Protect yourself against pregnancy unless you want a baby again. Breastfeeding does not protect you from pregnancy. It's a old wife's tale..

Therefore there could be a true issue here.
A doctor is best in this situation.

Is it possible to fall pregnant in the first six months when you are not using the contraceptives?
If you mean in the first 6 months after pregnancy, then yes: you can become pregnant in this time period. If you are breast-feeding, this will generally prevent pregnancy.
Your periods are irregular after given birth is this normal?
It can take months for your periods get back to normal, especially if you are breast feeding you can miss periods or have long times between them. You can still get pregnant while breast feeding and having irregular periods though so you should still use contraception.
Does breast feeding play a part in breast cancer?
Medical studies have shown a fairly clear relationship between breast feeding and a strong reduction in breast cancer. The general number I have read is that if a woman has a cumulative time of 18 to 24 months breast feeding she has a significant lower chance of contracting breast cancer. Once again, breast feeding pays dividends beyond keeping your baby fed!
Your baby is four months old and you have not yet had a period yet you took two pregnancy test both came out negative what should you do?
Breast-feeding can suppress ovulation, so if you are breast-feeding, that could be the reason you aren't having your period. If you aren't breast-feeding, wait a couple of months more, and then give your obstetrician a call.
Can formula be used beside breast feeding in the first six months?
Breast milk is best for your child but formula milk can be used alongside breast milk
I am pregant how long will my breasts be sore for?
about 9 months :) and then if you plan on breast feeding, a while longer.
Can you have nipple soreness without breast tenderness during pregnancy?
Yes. Not all women experience breast/nipple soreness or tenderness during pregnancy. Some women are 6 or 7 months pregnant before they find out that they are pregnant. So yes, it can happen.
When you didnt have your period after giving birth to your baby and didnt have it till about next 3 months does that mean your pregnant?
If you're having regular, full periods, then it's very very unlikely that you're pregnant whatever happened before. If you haven't had a period in 3 months, then you may be pregnant, even if breast feeding may lower the chances of becoming pregnant for as long as you're doing it.
Is breastfeeding a reliable contraceptive?
Unfortunately not. You are much less likely to get pregnant whilst breast feeding, but it is still possible, especially once you start going at least 4hours between feeds (eg: overnight).
Can you have breast milk coming out from your breast when you are one-week pregnant?
it will come in itself.
How many months will a mother lactate after giving childbirth?
If she is breast feeding her child, she can lactate for years as long as she is getting herself sucked dry 2-3 times in a day. If she has stopped breast feeding, her breasts will stop producing milk after 4-6 months.
Is feeding a baby formula equal to feeding breast milk?
Breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months before switching to baby formula. There are more nutrients and health benefits to the baby when using breast milk.
