AnswerHello Alexandra from the U.S.
There certainly is something preventing you from getting pregnant, but you will need tdo undergo an infertility evaluation in order to find out what the problem is. I cannot give you any answers without an evaluation. One possibility has to do with the fact that you are still producing breast milk. If the hormone prolactin is elevated, this can prevent pregnancy.
I would recommend that you see a fertility specialist so that you can get osme answers and get on your way to being pregnant.
