I breastfed my daughter for the first few days she was home and then I started formula feeding her because she wouldn't latch on. She is 7 months old now and I have a little bit of milk still. Could this be from when I breastfed her, or would that be dried up by now. Could I be pregnant again

Yes and yes, If you are having sex, yes you can become pregnant, but yes on the milk issue also. This alone is not enough to tell.

Yes they would be dried up by now or yes it could be from with my daughter

Hi tuckerl45,

I believe Fr_Chuck meant yes, the milk could still be from the breastfeeding and yes, you could be pregnant.

Some women will find that they will continue to have some milk for a very long time after weaning their baby. It may not be as abundant, or as easily expressed as before, but it can still be present.

While having milk can be an indication of a pregnancy, since you breastfed fairly recently, the milk alone would not necessarily be an indicator in this situation because it could be due to either one... or both!

Have you missed a period? Have your cycles been regular since birth? Regardless, you could always try a pregnancy test and see what results you get.
