TTC while Breastfeeding (or recently weaned!!) regular cycles and baby dust this way!

We're a nice big group now, aren't we. It's so nice to hear how everyone else is getting on. Welcome, new people!

Good luck, Garden and Expat! The two week wait is so hard but for me it goes much quicker at home with DS than it did when I was at work. He does seem to get a bit temperamental the week before AF too and I was wondering if the PMS hormones get passed through in the breastmilk. Anyone else noticed that?

Fingers crossed for your ovulation too, Jooni. Great that you have the signs there.

Aah Garden keeping everything crossed for you! 10dpo already gives you a good LP - I've still not made it past 7 Hoping for good news soon!

Hmm. Ought to leave it until at least Sunday really. I reckon this is probably just pmt though, every now and again I get a dose of pmt that gives me false hope so this is probably just that. I did just cry reading 'the smartest giant in town' when we went to the library so the stupidly emotional side of pmt is all present and correct

10dpo and mega sensitive nipples. I had the most vivid dream that I tester and got a bfp last night. Argh I'm going to be so disappointed when my period comes in a few days!

Hi napping, Aries , & mama
Fingers crossed for u garden, hope the rage is a good sign!

My lo is sleeping better at the min fingers crossed for a good month !

Hi everyone and welcome to all the new members! Nice to have such a big group of us

Garden fingers crossed for you, sounds good! Though that also sounds like me 80% of the time, haha.

aries CM returning was a big sign of impending AF for me. I had bouts of very copious, runny CM on and off for about 6-8 weeks before I finally got my first PPAF, and I was pretty sure it was on its was because I'd had a good stretch of EWCM about 2 weeks before. (No pun intended. Ew, sorry )

Oracle I'm taking Angus for the first time this cycle so I can't pass on my experience yet, but I feel fine and DD doesn't seem to have noticed a change in taste or supply or anything. I'll keep you posted.

I'm in my fertile window at the moment, I think. EWCM for the past 3-4 days now, with a definite peak today so far. The last two cycles I've had EWCM which comes and goes for well over a week before (hopefully) O, but never as clear and copious as now. I don't know if that could be a result of the Vit B and Angus or if it's just natural progression over time, but I'm feeling positive that I'll O this cycle. I've been rubbish at temping but it might be time to get the thermometer out again for curiosity's sake.

Hello ladies! Can I join? :)

I weaned my 14 month old 2 months ago, just got my first postpartum period last week.

TTC #2, Cycle 1, Day 4

We had been trying since my son was about 8 months old but it just wasn't happening. Can finally get started now!

Baby dust to everyone :)

expat my DD was a one time wonder, it only takes once so you never know :)

Expat any chance of DTD today just in case?

Pumpkin sorry to hear AF showed her face, here's hoping next month is luckier.

Welcome oracle, first time, napping, aries.

Sorry about AF pumkin here's hoping we have more BFPs on the thread this cycle.

Lovely weekend here but DS totally off his usual schedule and wouldn't sleep til after 9 last night then up at 12, 2, 4...and ended up BFing more than once. Trying to get back on track today.

garden hope the rage is a good sign

So sorry to hear that Pumkin, take care and be kind to yourself. Next month is a new month.

That sounds like me last week gardencentre so wishing you luck.

Welcome aboard napping, firsttimenewbie and Aries I hope this group is lucky for you all.

Hi napping! waves

What's the deal with taking agnus? I've read mixed things about it. Has anyone found it to be useful in bringing back their cycle?

Another newbie wanting to join!

Age: 24
TTC: #2
DS 9mo

BF around 3 times a day and 3/4 times through the night. Not using any contraception but rarely DTD due to crappy shifts/tiredness/co sleeping. Also no PP AF yet but have started to have CM so maybe things are happening?

Congrats to those with BFPs, you give me hope that it is possible whilst BFing/weaning!

I'm about 8dpo today, tender boobs, nursing aversion, and a bloody dreadful temper. Absolutely everything is annoying the shit out of me.

Hi, another newbie here.

Not currently TTC but planning to start in the next month or two. We have one DS 14 months old who has pretty much stopped breastfeeding of his own accord in the last couple of weeks (sob).

I came off the mini pill at the start of April with a view to letting my body sort itself out before TTC but am yet to see even a hint of a period so am expecting things to take a little while this time around. We were very lucky with DS to fall pregnant first cycle. Thankfully I feel a bit more laid back this time - the primal need to be pregnant RIGHT NOW isn't as strong so I am hoping to not stress and be happy to go with the flow.

I have been taking Agnus Castus for a month or so in an effort to encourage regular periods to return, and am taking folic acid.

Ps hi Oracle

AF arrived today
But first real month trying n didn't get very clear results from ovulation sticks

Room for a little one. Just started trying as my first period stopped yesterday. TTC no2. DD is 4 months old and has slept through since 3 months so no night feeds for a while. A bit concerned about milk drying up so interested you go hear how you go jp xx

Thank you Cineraria and pumpkin, I will hopefully have some graduates following me soon too. It doesn't seem to have affected my milk supply so hopefully everything will be ok. My ds I think would be devastated if the milk was all gone.

Congrats JP ! Wish u a very happy n health pregnancy !
Welcome oracle nice to have a new member !

Hello all! Room for another on the thread?

Although ideally I'd like a bigger age gap I've agreed to stopping trying NOT to get pregnant as DH would like another DC soon.

AFAIK I'm not fertile as no AF yet - DD is still a massive boob fiend and still bf's all the time (cosleeping too).

Plan is to keep an eye on cervical fluid and see what's going on, with an eye to properly ttc in the autumn. Any tips / advice gladly received.

Stats are:
Age 28
TTC #2
DD 14 months
Not really "trying" yet!

Congratulations, JP. Such good news. Wishing you lots of luck for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
