Getting pg before postpartum AF return

[kismetbaby]

Anyone here know how likely/common it is to get pg before ever having a period back PP (and BFing)? Anyone here ever have that happen? I know its technically possible, but it seems so remote of a chance. . .

I have a 7 month old, who is just starting solids. . .so basically still EBF. I'm sure I'm just being super paranoid/sensitive, but the past week I have been wondering if I'm pg. Just some odd stuff, like sensitivity to smells/tastes. Maybe its just my hormones trying to rev up to cycle again.

Anyway, I had one bfn test, but its kinda early anyway (I think, I mean I haven't had a period in a year and a half almost, so who knows!).

Did anyone here know when their cycle was returning PP? Did you get odd symptoms/hormonal swings? (BTW if I were to be pg we'd be happy about it, although we'd prefer to wait a little longer )

It happened to me. My baby was about 1 yo and my pp af had not returned. I had to start some meds that you couldn't take when you were pregnant, so I took a hpt at the doctor's office. I had the meds and a glass of water in hand because there was no way I was pregnant. When the nurse said Congrats to me I was really in shock. I was not paying that much attention to my body signals at that time so you are probably much more in tune than I was.
The annoying part was for the rest of the pregnancy (we are military and moved around that year), they would write on my chart - does not know LMP - like I was some kind of dummy. I most certainly knew when my LMP was - it was just before my last baby! I don't think it would be that unlikely if your baby has started solids, started sleeping through the night, etc. Sometimes that first PP AF is anovulatory and sometimes it's not. Good luck!

while def possible....a lot of symptoms of pregnancy are also symptoms of fertility returning. Especially PP, you will def have some wonky hormone shifts. Have you charted any CM before? Watch for the eggwhite consistency CM cuz that could be your body, trying to ovulate again.
And def take another test if AF doesn't show up in like a week, just to ease your mind?
Good luck!
