Any obstetrician will tell you that breastfeeding is not a method of birth control. Some women have periods while breastfeeding, some don't. I did the whole time I breastfed. You CAN get pregnant while breastfeeding and should use protection unless you're wanting another one already

just have sex without protection...

"The short answer is "Yes." It is possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding. However, breastfeeding can be used as part of your family planning technique. As a matter of fact, if you can answer yes to the following three* questions, your risk of pregnancy is less than two percent.

1. Is your infant less than six months old?
2. Are you amenorrheic, that is, are your menstrual periods absent?
3. Is your baby breastfeeding around the clock without receiving other foods, beverages or pacifiers? "
