Oh Andrea, I'm sorry to say that your doc is wrong. My cousin got
pregnant that way and currently it is adviced always to use additional
contraception while breastfeeding. Although breastfeeding reduces your
chance of getting pregnant, it is in no way a reliable contraceptive.


Any advice would be great.


Well, the only way to be sure is to do a test. Since it would then be
22 days past ovulation (if it occured), you could test positive at this
stage if you are pregnant.
