Hey!!

So I might sound super keen but looking for some advice...

I had my baby boy 8 weeks ago today but I always said I want my babies close together.
I am breastfeeding and bled up til week 5. I haven't had my period yet (unless I had it when I was still bleeding - not sure!).
I have read that breastfeeding in itself can be a contraception but I want to start trying again.
I saw somewhere - not much info on internet - that conception occurs every 1 in 100 breastfed cases within the first 6 months.

Have any of you breastfed and conceived?
 
Whilst breastfeeding its completely normal to not have a period at all in that time frame. I am 5 months in and no period yet (yay!).
However this does not stop you ovulating, you can still get pregnant whilst feeding, just follow the usual ttc advice of doing the deed every few days or so and hopefully you will catch on eventually :)
