: According to American Academy of Pediatrics, EXCLUSIVE breastfeeding (8-12x in 24 hours) is fairly reliable for the first 6 months as far as birth control and preventing ovulation. It's not foolproof, but as they say "no method is". However, everything else I've ever read says - don't count on it!
: The 'pull-out' is probably the least reliable (I'm almost 37 wks pg from this method, lol) but if you are exclusively breastfeeding, you're probably okay this month. You should talk to your doc about another form of birth control, like a low-hormone dose pill (that doesn't interfere w/milk supply) or perhaps diaphragm or condoms (good luck getting dh to comply with that last one, lol).

: : I had a baby 3 months ago and have not yet had af. I am breastfeeding and thought maybe that was why I havent had af. I have had sex with dh we used the pull out method. Could I be pregnant? For the last 2 days I have noticed alot of clear mucus on tp sorry tmi does that mean im ovulating????
