I have two children which are 15 months apart. My youngest is 6 months. I have been bfeeding, but in the last month have slowed down. I still have not had my period return. What is the changes of my being pregnant? (Just not feeling good..bloated) Thanks

I'm not sure what the exact chance would be. In the first 6 months, if you are exclusively b___stfeeding, not giving formula at all, not using pacifiers, etc, I think the chance is about 95% that you will not ovulate. After 6 months, the chances increase, but I don't have any hard numbers to share. A good book to read about this is Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing. When b___stfeeding in the way described in this book, most women do not resume fertility until the baby is at least 1 yr old, often much later than that.
