Hello,
You seem to be having lactational amenorrhea. It suppresses ovulation because suckling (breast feeding by the baby) changes the body's physiology so that ovulation does not occur. But sometimes ovulation may return prior to menstrual periods after delivery and having unprotected intercourse may result in pregnancy.
It is very difficult to predict when your ovulation would return but you can note down few signs of ovulation like during ovulation the cervical mucus(discharge) increases and is of watery or raw egg white consistency; there is increase in basal body temperature; breast tenderness. It can be detected by an OPK (Ovulation predictor test kit) which is tested with the help of urine.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
