I really don't want to take the pill again or anything that has hormones in it. Hopefully we will figure it out soon.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17792460655525776175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-39968157867990458862011-02-16T20:35:28.684-05:002011-02-16T20:35:28.684-05:00Mare--Lactational amenorrhea (infertility caused b...Mare--Lactational amenorrhea (infertility caused by breastfeeding), can be used as a effective birth control (about 97%), but the mom/baby must meet a set of conditions, like the baby must be younger than six months, must be exclusively breastfeeding, etc. One of the conditions is that the baby can't go longer than 6 hours at night (or 4 hours during the day) without breastfeeding. James goes much longer than that at night, typically 8-4/5. I do usually pump before I go to bed (11/12) but it's still pushing it in terms of relying on it exclusively for birth control. However, I think I would know if I was fertile again, but I could miss it . . .justadriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352793325470030016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-83431473627767345252011-02-16T15:20:36.488-05:002011-02-16T15:20:36.488-05:00Marilyn, most women will ovulate before having the...Marilyn, most women will ovulate before having their first period after having a baby, so you can get pregnant before af returns!<br /><br />My husband has now started praying for a new baby after we dtd...this is a first, even for us, and it is definately earlier than ever before, lol!

Condoms give me UTIs (EVERY single time!), birth control makes me sick (ive tried over 20 different brands since i was 15), no way ai am getting an IUD because my cramps/bleeding is bad enough without it... so that really doesn't leave many options!Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328362446253685284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6979532096718821945.post-27129982987518305712011-02-16T09:45:20.804-05:002011-02-16T09:45:20.804-05:00can't you not get pregnant again until your pe...can't you not get pregnant again until your period returns? I thought that could take up to like 4/5 months? I would think you wouldn't have to worry about any kind of birth control until your period does return?Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10922470061942796361noreply@blogger.com
