Everybody is different. If you are not breastfeeding it is possible that you will ovulate within a very few weeks of giving birth. If you are breastfeeding without any supplemental feedings, chances are good that you will not ovulate or get your period until the baby begins eating other foods around six months or later. Once you ovulate, of course, you can get pregnant again. You CAN get pregnant without ever having a period after giving birth. Hope this helps. :-)

My mom was breastfeeding my sister when she got pregnant with me! My sister and I are eleven months apart. The doctors told her, at that time, that she couldn't get pregnant if she was breastfeeding. She was breastfeeding my sister without any supplements, and she still got pregnant with me. I guess it is different for each woman.

Birth Control by Breastfeeding
|
(The Lactational Amenorrhea Method)
The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM)
It is a well known fact that breastfeeding suppresses a woman's fertility in the early months after delivery. However, many women do not feel comfortable relying on breastfeeding as a form of birth control because they have been told it is unreliable, or perhaps because they know someone who became pregnant while breastfeeding.
The Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) was created to allow women to safely rely on breastfeeding as a family planning method. Based on scientific research, the method uses three measures of a woman's fertility: 1) the return of her menstrual period, 2) her patterns of breastfeeding, and 3) the time postpartum.
Who can use LAM?
A woman can use LAM if:
1. her menstrual period has not returned since delivery (Bleeding or spotting during the first 56 days is not considered menstrual bleeding.) AND
2. she is breastfeeding her baby on demand, both day and night and not feeding other foods or liquids regularly (Occasional tastes of foods or other liquids are permitted, but they should never replace a feeding at the breast.) AND
3. her baby is less than six months old.
(quoted from http://www.breastfeeding.com/reading_room/lam_page2.html)
Under the circumstances above, breastfeeding is 98% effective during the first six months following a baby's birth; however, there is always the other 2% ! :-)
P.S. Birth control pills are 99% effective, but that depends on the woman never missing a dose, and the pill (incuding the mini pill) does affect milk production negatively for most women.
