I had a baby boy nine months ago by c section and I've been nursing him ever since on may 13 14 15 16 17 of 2010 I had unprotected sex about two or three times a day it's June 6 and ever since may 23 I've been having cramp and I've been tired more and it's lower back cramps and my nipples are tender then before and I just wanted to know could I be pregnant even though I haven't had a period due to breastfeeding my nine month old??

In one word - yes. Breastfeeding is not a guaranteed means of birth control.

I note you had this same concern in February - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pregnancy-new-motherhood/pregnant-again-444617.html#post2218141.

The advice has not changed.

If you don't want another child you should be practicing safe sex.

I will assume you are trying to get pregnant again, having unprotected sex ( no birth control) and yes it is very easy during this time to conceive again.

Good luck, it sounds like you may have gotten your wish.

As the others have said, yes... remember you ovulate before a period. Plenty of breastfeeding mothers become pregnant without ever resuming their periods after a previous birth. Even more likely since you are providing fewer feeds to your first child at this point. Time to try a pregnancy test.
