Pregnant 12w post partum?

I need some input before I worry myself to death here. I am 12 weeks pp and BFing fulltime. I have not gotten on BCPs yet, DH and I have been using the withdrawel method. Except one time. The next day I had sharp cramping and sort of EWCM. It was thicker than usual though. Side note: I almost ALWAYS feel O pains. Then 6 days later I had thick pink mucous when I wiped, just once. I have been having thick opaque yellowish "plug like" mucous on and off for a while now, something I had while pregnant this past time.. So if the cramping I experienced was "O" I should be late now. I have been getting hot flashes and my boobies hurt. But that could be from breastfeeding. I have been getting dizzy spells and headaches too, but that could be from exhaustion caused by a toddler and colicky baby. Last night I woke up hungry. What time did I eat last? I just don't know what to think. I don't want to spend the money on a test if I don't need too. What are my chances that I am pregnant? This definately isn't planned. I had a repeat c/s and I am afraid of any complications there that it would be too soon for another less than a year later.

Obsessing..................

Hi,

Both of My sister's in law got pregnant while breastfeeding. So it is possible. My doctor wouldn't prescribe BCP's to me while I was breastfeeding. So if I were you I would take a test, anythings possible.
