Many articles state that during the first six months of the postpartum period, if you continue to breastfeed regularly and exclusively and your periods do not return, breastfeeding is between 98% and 99% effective as a contraceptive. However, my OB/GYN told me that "breastfeeding is not reliable birth control" and a friend recently conceived during this period.

Do you trust breastfeeding as a reliable form of birth control?

- Yes, during the first 6 months
- Yes, even after 6 months
- Somewhat, and if we do conceive again then that's fine
- No, we don't want to take the risk and use alternative birth control
- No, I got pregnant or know someone who got pregnant while still breastfeeding


Yes, I totally trust breastfeeding. Also, not having a partner helps a
lot regarding birth control ;-)
