The question is a little vague...but it is possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. Some women will not have a period the entire time they are lactating, while other women resume their monthly cycle 2-3 months after giving birth. This varies from woman to woman and from the frequency of breastfeeding.
Just because you haven't had a period, does not mean you are not ovulating. Typically a woman ovulates 2 weeks before her period. So you can ovulate before ever getting your first postpartum period.
Breastfeeding also increases your chances of conceiving twins. If you are trying to conceive and would like twins, then try to get pregnant during your first postpartum period. The reason for this is because your body has not ovulated since you conceived the baby you are nursing, and sometimes when ovulation kicks in again, it can be cause hyperovulation where your ovary or ovaries release more then one egg.
If you are pregnant and breastfeeding, this is perfectly fine. As long as your doctor is comfortable with the fetus growing and developing properly, then you can nurse as long as you like. If your doctor doesn't think the baby is getting adequate nutrition, or you are not consuming enough calories, you may want to stop or cut back the nursing frequency.

What happens to ovaries after pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the ovaries typically resume their normal function, but their activity can vary depending on factors such as breastfeeding and hormonal changes. During breastfeeding, the ovaries may produce fewer hormones, leading to delayed ovulation and menstruation. Once breastfeeding decreases or stops, ovarian function usually normalizes, and menstrual cycles generally return to their pre-pregnancy patterns. However, individual experiences can differ significantly.
