since you don't have a period when you breast feed and your hormones are high and take a pregnancy test will this show up positive or will this not make a difference

It wil not make a difference..HORMONES are not what make a pregnancy test positive, it is HCG hormones that do that..Totally different..

If it has been less than 4 weeks since you have given birth, HCG may still be in your blood stream enough to make it positive though...

If it has been MORE than 4 weeks, go ahead. BREASTFEEDING is not birth control, that is a myth..MANY women become pregnant while breastfeeding.
