I have a 13 month old boy, i have always breastfead him and still do, he has breast milk for his morning nap, and for bed and if he wakes in the night, and for comfort sometimes. My hubby and i are thinking of trying for a baby, we have not used any form of birth control, just the breasfeeding, i have had about 5 piriods between 37 to 47 days apart, dose anyone have any advice for my on how i can concive. Thank you. ↓
Well, I can't offer you too much advice as we never had to ttc for #2...I was exclusively breastfeeding and apparently got pregnant the first time I O'ed (never got a period). :) However, have you ever heard of the Billings method? Google it and it will help you know how to check your cm for fertility and you could temp too if you wanted. Good luck on your ttcing and I hope you don't have to wait too long! ↑
I'm 25 weeks pregnant, dd is 13 months and it was an oppsie! I breastfed her until a week after her first b day and I was 20 weeks and they say thats when your milk switches to more colostrum, well she weaned herself. I agree, I believe that and Natural Family Planning are the same, just figure out when your body is ovulating and give it a shot : ). Good luck! ↑
My period returned when ds was 7.5mths, I had 2 periods 2.5mths apart then found out I was pregnant. I was still bf several times a day, but when ds suddenly cut back his feeds I knew something was up. We weren't trying to conceive & even used condoms when I thought I was ov, but obviously we either mistimed when I ov or there was still some there from the last time we had sex. I am 15wks preg & ds is just over 13mths (still bf once a day) & all I can suggest is to have sex every couple of days so there is constantly sperm there for when you ov. Goodluck & I hope you get preg soon, you have a good chance as your periods have returned & you should be ov. ↑
