Ovulation

It is still possible but very, very, very rare. I have a friend that his twin brothers are really not twins. They are really about a month and a half different in age.. I think, if I remember correctly, they were born a couple days apart but it was confirmed earlier in the pregnancy what had happened..

Once you are pregnant you do not ovulate until several weeks after you give birth if you are not breastfeeding and even longer if you do nurse exclusively.

Hope that answers your question

Yes it is still possible to ovulate. I've heard of a case where a woman was pregnant with one child then ovulated again and was pregnant with a second child. They were not twins since the eggs were fertilized about 3 weeks apart. Fortunately both children made it. It is very unusually, but possible.

In almost all cases as soon as you are pregnant you will stop ovulating. Fertilization sends your estrogen levels through the roof, offsetting the progesterone needed for ovulation.

Ovulation during pregnacy is very rare but it can happen.

If you are very concerned I would get an appt. with your doc. to discuss your personal health and cycle.

I'm a Grandma, and only once did I hear of a woman that continued menustration after becoming pregnant, which would lead one to believe that she was ovulating. But technically, no. You should then start ovulation only after stopping full-time breastfeeding (no supplemental bottles of formula, water, juice, etc.). If you don't breastfeed, I think it's approxamately six weeks, but good to check with your OByN.

YES!!! It runs in my family and my ob believed me when I told him about my concern to not conceive again when I found out I was pregnant. Most woman will not ovulate after becoming pregnant, but some woman can still ovulate after a pregnancy. My cousin became pregnant and ovulated and became pregnant with a second child two months later. Those children are healthy, however, my family has a history of "twins" in which one of the twins is gestationally younger and not viable at birth.
