Chances of being pregnant, breastfeeding 9 month old?

We've only had unprotected sex once last month. I breastfed exclusively until 6 months, and now at 9 months she eats solids, but still nurses a lot throughout the day. Including a time or two at night. What are the chances of me being pregnant again? I haven't gotten my period back since being pregnant so i can't go by that. I've been feeling weird lately and have upset stomach sometimes and a few cramps today...maybe the return of my period?

    Breastfeeding won't work to prevent pregnancy. it could be either or honestly. test within a few weeks. you may be pregnant. You're the most fertile for the first year after you have a baby. Sounds like you may be pregnant.

    Um, you totally could be pregnant, I got pregnant around that time twice while nursing my sons - they were mostly breastfed with some solids.

    It’s common sense: the healthier you are, the more likely you are to get pregnant. Try to do whatever you can to improve your chances of getting pregnant. Learn here https://tr.im/9Yh4b

    If you are overweight, try to lose some and get to a healthier weight. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet, and exercise as often as possible. Don’t smoke, don’t drink,and of course, don’t do drugs. Try to avoid stressful situations, and keep things as calm as possible. Do whatever you can to keep everything as cool as possible. This will give you the best chance to get pregnant.
