I am! 10 weeks Pregnant with #2, my baby is turning 6 mo in 11 days . I have been exclusively breastfeeding my first born and had also heard about this myth and how it's more likely to work if your period still hasn't returned. My period started about 6 weeks after delivering my first and was regular so it did not work here either lol

not true.
You can get pregnant while breastfeeding.
Breastfeeding it's not an anticonceptive.
Never was...

So yes you can be pregnant :)

My midwife says it can work but only under certain circumstances. You must breastfeed y least once every 4 hours, your LO must not use a soother (as he will go to breast less) and it is only really effective for the first 6 months. Its also not reliable

You can get pregnant while BF. My LO turns 1 this month and I'm 15 weeks pregnant with number 2. It's normal. I was worried at first but it happens.
