I've been breastfeeding exclusively for 6 months now and I'm worried that I might be pregnant again. I've been feeling incredibly tired all of a sudden in January then came other symptoms. I have taken a few pregnancy tests this month and they all were negative. Should I trust my gut feeling that I'm pregnant or the test?

If you are feeling pretty sure that you could be pregnant, I would see your doctor and request a blood test.

Just as a note, if you are indeed pregnant, continuing with breastfeeding would not be a problem.

Totally agree with Doula.

It's possible you are pregnant, though there are lots of other things which could make you tired. Have you returned to work recently?

And yes, you can continue to breastfeed.

I'm a stay at home mom. I took a pregnancy test so that I could go to the dentist for x-rays which I got done today. If I'm pregnant, I hope I didn't hurt the baby by having x-rays...

Assuming the dentist was taking x-rays of your mouth, it shouldn't be a problem.

But all those negative tests does sound like you are not pregnant yet.
