    Could I be pregnant?
    I have a 7month old that I'm breastfeeding and have not had a period since having her I have been feeling sick every now and then and have had some cramping also I noticed I had a brown goo discharge once I don't want to get excited thinking I'm pregnant as I have had a misscarrge before having my daughter. I have been using a pregnancy planner kit to know when I'm ovulating but haven't been using it every day so I'm not sure if I have ovulated. Could I be pregnant?

    Yes, it's possible. For some women, once baby starts to skip a feeding here and there will be enough to start ovulating again. Since ovulation occurs before a period, you may never see a period and still become pregnant. At 7 months, it is possible you may ovulate intermittently and pregnancy could obviously be a result.

    Have you been using another form of birth control or relying on the breastfeeding?
    Only way to know if you are pregnant would be to try a pregnancy test.

    We are trying for another bub but I don't want to give up breastfeeding just yet. So I'm hoping I am pregnant

    You are trying so early after your first baby was born. Your body really needs a break. Especially if you are breastfeeding.

    Your body needs time to heal, for your hormone levels to get back to normal.

    It's really not advised to get pregnant again so early after birth.
