What Are The Chances Of Pregnancy During Breastfeeding?

Hi. I m writing because I had an abortion on Oct. 8 and I still haven t had a period yet. I did see a lil pink when I used the bathroom 2 days ago and I thought I was about to start my period but I haven t. I started birth control pills the following day after procedure and was told I should have one within 4 weeks. I have had unprotected sex with my fiance but I haven t missed a pill though I don t always take them at the same time each day as recommended. I am still nursing my son so I have to take those with no estrogen. I have been having a few pregnancy symptoms but that can all be in my mind. I took a home pregnancy test about 2 weeks ago and it was negative. How strong is the possibility that I could be pregnant again.

The chance that breast feeding will avoid pregnancy does not hold for you, coz you concieved and had an abortion recently. but because your urine test is negative an d you are regular on your pills, there is less chance of pregnancy. Also the spotting(pink) you explained is a common side effect of these pills. but to be sure wait for 2 weeks , repeat urine pregnancy test. there is every chance you ll get periods by then. but in bwn any symptoms, like giddiness/ vomiting/abd pain , go to gynaec
