Answer 1

I assume that if your son is 7 months old you have probably started some baby food, cereal, etc. That in itself is enough to decrease your milk supply. Wait another week or two and then take another pregnancy test. It is possible that even if you haven't had a regular period yet you did ovulate while breastfeeding.

Answer 2

Its possible since your milk supply is less. You may just be feeling drained as your bodies returning back to normal. Bleeding could be that you were pregnant and have lost it, or your body simply needed a little clean out. Dont stress yourself out as your 7 month old will respond to this, just wait a week or two, do another test, then perhaps see your GP

Answer 3

If you're having unprotected sex, then yes, you could be pregnant. But you could also just be experiencing a cold, or tired from tending baby and you don't have to be pregnant for your milk supply to start drying up. Give yourself another week or 2 and try another test. If still negative and still no period + all the symptoms, go see doc.

Answer 4

Sometimes when you get your period your milk level will go down, but don't worry. Baby will just eat more often to make up for it. If the tests said you aren't pregnant, you probably aren't. You can go to the doc to be sure.

Answer 5

You can get pregnant while breast feeding that's why doctors tell you to use something to protect against it. Wait a while about two months and see what happens you may not be. Just in the future use something.
