Peardrop - age 33, TTC cycle #9, DS is 26 months (stopped bf soon to be 4 months ago). Af returned when DS 14months, currently on CD14 and have had 4 flashing smileys. Praying for a static smiley tomorrow! Dangling legs in air!

And yay Auf!

Mini, it took 5 months when ttc #3, I only did dangly legs the last month when I wondered if my ever so slightly prolapsed cervix might be hindering any swimmers getting in. Started laying with my legs/bum raised and that was the month I got pg. Purely anecdotal of course!

LIDLRichard, 32, DD is 22 months. We BF on demand but not during the night, we co-sleep and I still haven't even had a inkling of an AF, so just popping by/lurking much like kittyvet...
Is it worth charting before my periods have returned? Has anyone tried?

kittyvet · 20/07/2015 20:29

Kitty vet 39, dd 9 months old today, planning to ttc no 2 but no sign of AF yet. Breastfeeding on demand (mostly but working again now), and co sleeping. Lurking and popping in until I start cycling and charting :)

Random wondering for you guys.......
How much do we think not laying down straight after dtd affects things?

ispyfispi · 19/07/2015 13:57

Thanks for the new thread Pear!

Ispyfispi 31yrs, ttc #4, ds2 is 20mo bf on demand day and night and we've been ttc since he was 9mo but af only returned last month. Currently on cd8 of cycle 2 and no idea if/when I will ovulate Confused

Leamice · 19/07/2015 08:48

Thanks for the new thread!

Leamice: 29, DS is 13mo TTC #2, AF sort of came back when DS was 6 months - only 2 cycles then nothing, cut down breastfeeding - nothing, stopped BF when DS was almost 11mo - nothing, taking various supplements - nothing, been to docs had blood test - awaiting results and scan appointment. Kind of put ttc on hold until get some answers, will be hanging about though ready to cheer on all the upcoming BFPs :)

waxweasel · 19/07/2015 08:27

Waxweasel, 29, DD is 24 months. only on cycle 2 of TTC, AF came back when she was 15mo. We've been gradually weaning over last 2 months and think we may finally be there - last feed was about 10 days ago, and we've been averaging a feed a week for a few weeks.

On 2dpo at the moment, so just starting the 2ww! AF due 1 Aug....

MinisMama13 · 19/07/2015 08:00

MinisMama, 27, DS is 21 months. Af returned when he was 10 months and we've been ttc since January although it was "relaxed" until March! We co sleep and feed on demand still although he has naturally cut back a bit recently he still has a lot! Been using opks but not temping to confirm ov as I keep forgetting! Ds is a clomid baby after we were told we'd need IVF due to both male and female factor infertility, although the big issue was the male, so really I'm hoping for a miracle and torturing myself in the process Grin

Currently cd10 with ov sticks at the ready to start in a few days!

aufwiedersehenpetrach
late thirties
1 DC 16 months.
Ttc since DC was born around 6 month old, cut back dramatically in December to bring on AF, stopped bf altogether in April after still no luck, irregular cycles and 6day long LPs. tried all "supplements" to regulate cycles Referred to fertility clinic in July was given femara, hcg shot, progesterone for this cycle. Currently 9dpo which is the longest I've gone ever so xf that this is the start of a new era and that I'm already pregnant too! Grin
Thanks for the thread pear. Should probably fill the other one first?

AvaAmulet · 19/07/2015 00:18

AvaAmulet, 35, DD is 26 months, been ttc since DD was 6 months, AF returned at 16 months, temping and opks confirmed that I have definitely been ovulating for the last 6 cycles, we co-sleep and I'm pretty much still feeding my little madam on demand, though we have cut down massively. But we're still feeding too often, methinks.... Hmm

Currently on a ttc hiatus (for the sake of my sanity Grin) AF due 24th July then I'll be back on the crazy poas, temping, obsessively-googling bandwagon Wink x
