TTC and still breastfeeding? Thread # 5 - Positive Vibes!

I read that too about the sugar, seeing as I have polycystic ovaries I probably should avoid! I think I read to avoid bad fats, sugar and too much carbs.
my dh is very fit and healthy so it's all on me to do better lol.

Pear- Could still be cd25, did you test yesterday evening or previous day?

I think my AF is coming today, more spotting than previous days and crampy feeling. I got my hopes up too soon lol. Ah well. Next cycle I'm going to be super healthy to see if that helps.

Your opk looked almost positive yesterday pear so I'm guessing you'll have a blazing one/ static smiley this morning. Glad you got more tests, your dh is right, £20 isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things.

Glad you had a nice break Elle, sounds like you are nice and relaxed, we know from Ava that relaxed works wonders, good luck :)

Clara, was it AF starting or dos you get your bfp?

Not much to report here, still spotting tiny amounts. FF has added new crosshairs saying Ov on CD 53 which was 48hrs after +ve opk, I'm now on cd60 so maybe 7dpo... Obviously not much hope with all the spotting which started on 2dpo! plus the fact that FF gave me an ov much earlier in the cycle but then took it away. I'll prob still test soon anyway as I'm an addict and I have lots of ICs :)

I like the sound of your DH pear. Hope you get a good result tomorrow.

I suspected ov spotting as well, definitely out this month as haven't dtd, next month I plan to start properly! Argh!!! That's the first time I've admitted that to myself or anybody!

I was thinking ovulation bleeds Leamice and thats?

I don't think the line is as dark as control line, but it's very close, so I reckon you're either side of a surge? Certainly looks promising.

Espresso - congratulations on the job offer. You should definitely take it. Sod's Law dictates that you'll immediately get pregnant.

I was away with a friend for a girly weekend, lovely break. DS got on great with DH and was in super form. I was hoping he might be less enthused about feeding on my return, but no such luck! Still he has been sleeping well so no night feeds and the 2 day break can only help. I'm on CD 15 so DTD 2 days ago and will again tonight and for the next few nights. Haven't been using ov tests.

Thats - sounds like ovulation spotting if it's around ov time. Do you have ewcm with it?

clara- did you test this cycle? Could still be bfp if you are having preg symptoms?

Not dumb pear, if your spotting is enough for a pad then why would you think any different, it's not like we openly discuss vaginal secretions in RL ha!

Hello ladies, not been posting much recently but still here and hoping for bfps all round. Dougal, I liked your recent post with the links and great answers to those questions. I'm on cd 32 and was wondering (?hoping against hope) if I cd be pregnant as felt bit queasy over the w/e. But then got spotting so thought it was pmt and don't want to get my hopes up only for them to be dashed... So just waiting to see and trying to be realistic that probably not my time yet.

Congrats on the job espresso, agree with all that great news and good distraction!

Pear I hope this is your lucky cycle too

espresso maybe the new job will be a welcome distraction during ttc? Congratulations anyhow, I know how you feel about feeling bad about getting pregnant and how it will affect work but it's our life after all.

Leamice I actually have come on to ask about spotting as well. I noticed it since cd15 which according to my app was when I was due to ovulate. It sounds very similar to yours. Don't know if it's a coincidence that DS has ramped up the feeds recently?

Well done on the new job esspresso, I think they'd understand you getting pregnant however long you've been there, it's something they expect from employing women of child bearing age.

Yes it's spotting pear like at the very start/very end of AF no red blood or clots at all, 1st day was light pink tinged cm now its brown tinged (white) cm so looks beige iykwim? I'm being mega gross describing haha! I feel like AF could spring up at any time... though as I said might not be an actual AF just breakthrough bleeding from wonky hormones/ no ovulation...

So, cycle 2 and clearly not back to "normal". DD now 20 months.

Morning feed cut with no protest at all 3 weeks ago, and I have now night weaned as of 3 nights ago (it was clearly the right time, completed with only a little protest on 1st night, hardly any protest on 2nd night, and no protest at all on night 3). No requests at all upon waking up, so it was the right time to make the change - which makes me feel better. Just the bedtime one left, I don't think I'm going to be able to ditch that any time soon.

21 days into my cycle, and only a small amount of EWCM yesterday. But, the infertile pattern of cm I had before AF returned isn't back.

On the plus side, got offered a new job. Although ideally I wouldn't take it, as I'd like a bfp soon, this could take some time - so I'm viewing it as something to throw myself into, in case it takes ages (although I'll feel guilty for job if I get a bfp in the next couple of months!).

Waiting is the worst pear! Are you dtd eod? Good luck, hope it's your bfp month, I'm sure we are due some more on this lucky thread!

I'm still spotting on and off, tmi- beige/ very light brown colour, not a lot just sometimes when I wipe.... Google tells me could be low progesterone causing spotting, or could be that I haven't ovulated and it's just a bit of breakthrough instead of AF? Who knows really, at this point all my hopes are in the gyno appointment only 2 weeks (ish) to go
