You can coneieve again... there is a lot of myth that breast feeding will stop you from becoming pregnant and it is a lie. I knew a woman that had given birth, enjoyed 6 weeks of maturnity leave, and come back to work already pregnant again.

My aunt had her two children 10 months apart... January & November of the same year! You can conceive by the next time you ovulate after giving birth.

It is possible for you to conceive again, I have heard you are more prone to get pregnant right after delivering, but I am not sure how true that is. Make sure you are on a good method of birth control.

Breastfeeding can be a form of birth control, however I wouldn't use this method alone. The method is called the Lactation Amenorrhea Method (or LAM). The only problem with this is you have to be on a strict breastfeeding schedule. You have to feed every 4 hours during the day, and every 6 hours during the night. You have to make sure and do this like clockwork! This method is the most effective when used with condoms, or another barrier method. That is why you might as well just be on birth control, such as pills, IUD, the patch, etc.

2% out of 100% of women using the LAM method (along with condoms mind you) get pregnant every year. You actually have better odds using Ortho Evra (1% out of 100), Nuva Ring (1% out of 100), Depo Provera (although I wouldn't recommend it, I used this method and it was evil [Less than 1% out of 100]), or the IUD (Less than 1% out of 100). The odds of the pill are also 1% out of 100.

I hope you pick a form of birth control that fits you best. Like me, you may have to sample a few before you pick one that is right for you. Good luck!
