Hi Drs, i'm married and i have 2year baby girl.i got pregnant after 3 months of my marriage normally without any problem.I got my period back after 9 months of getting the baby, it is regulare for 31 days, i decide to have the second baby when my first was 1year and 4months.but i didnt get pregnant until now.I weaned my baby when she was 1yr and 10 months old (2months ago).Is this delay in pregnant because of breast feedinng (note that i dont use any other birth control ),if yes ,for how many months should i wait after weaning to get pregnant again?
Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that the best determinant of whether or not you are fertile is whether you have regular cycles. If you are having regular menstrual periods, you are very likely ovulating regularly and your chances of pregnancy are good (depending upon your age). IF your periods are irregular, you are probably not ovulating regularly, and may have a more difficult time conceiving again.
I would definitely recommend that you contact your doctor immediately if you DO become pregnant because 1) you are at high risk for tubal pregnancy and 2) the heparin/aspirin combination can be initiated to reduce your risk of miscarriage.
Good luck!
Dr B
