For years my mom complained that she got pregnant with me because the doctor told her you can't get pregnant when you are breastfeeding. When I was nursing my daughter, I said I just loved not getting my period. My mom said she got her period when she was nursing. I asked her "Didn't it occur to you that if you got your period, you could get pregnant?"
I feel so sorry for people who haven't had sex ed.
