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

Thanks for the new thread expat !
She weaned really well started at 12 months gradually just swapped over she was really chilled about it so that was nice.
Hi garden & cool nice to have u aboard !
Jpclarke sorry the blood test was traumatic fingers crossed u don't need next months !
We do a similar thing with our lo ciner let her come in if past 4am until the alarm goes off. With the exception of teething when she wont settle unless she can hold my hand so co sleeps through this phase.

Well all the physical signs show I am ovulating I'm currently day 15 I never no if that's good or bad, I did try the ovulation sticks but only a faint line don't no if I've missed it or to try again tomorrow or maybe it's just not happening !

Ah the blood test prob sounds worse than what it was. She said she was in the vein just no blood would come out so I don't know. I had the blood test done with the nurse in my gp's but the results are going to my gynae and I am not due to see him until the beginning of August so I am assuming I won't get results until then. I suppose I prob could ring his receptionist. I have to have day 21 done again next month obviously if something happens this month I won't!

The bright yellow pee is nothing to work about Jooni, it's a water soluble vitamin so that's just your body getting rid of what it doesn't need.

Cine co sleeping is just so much easier although when four of us end up in the bed (super king) it's a disaster!! But whatever works for some sleep is my motto. Hence why he hasn't weaned at night as I just don't have the energy to battle, as I am often woke by dd too. She uses my hair as her comfort object while sucking her thumb so I get it from all angles.

Thanks for the shiny new thread expat!

Cine Sounds really positive re. ovulation - congratulations! My thermometer arrived today so excited to start temping tomorrow. I hope I get a nice clear temp shift like you this month to prove I'm actually oving.

lullaby CD16 with a 27-28 day cycle would still give you an 11-12 day LP, and it should be 10+ to conceive. 14 is the dream though! Are you trying Angus then? (love it! ) He arrived today too so will start taking that tomorrow. I've been on B-50 complex for a couple of days now and all seems to have been fine - DD not fussing any more than usual or anything. It gives you bright yellow pee though

jp 2 months seems like a very long time to have to wait for the results; you must be far more patient than me. Sorry it was such a trauma for you. The things we do in the name of TTC!

And hello and welcome to Cool and Garden

Thanks Cineraria, yes I was! It's amazing how the time has flown that we are talking about ttc again☺️.

PsCineraria I hope your DS silent reflux has improved, my DD also had bad reflux and on rhinitis one until she was 5 months when she got better.

Apologies to the other ladies for derailing!

Thanks for the new thread Expat. Remembering to do the temperature is hard until you get into the habit. It is so nice to be all together in one bed like that. DH didn't like it at first as he was scared of knocking DS in his sleep but didn't mind him being in a co sleeper on my side. It was only when his silent reflux got so bad that he would only sleep sitting upright in us or lying down whilst feeding that we agreed to him being in our bed routinely so he could feed and sleep well until his medicine sorted it out. When he moved to his own room at six months though, I think DH missed him more than I did, so we let him come back in if he wakes less than a couple of hours before we get up. I miss him too but I don't miss being dehydrated and dizzy in the morning!

Welcome Coolchic (Do I remember you from the Oct 2015 due date threads? I was in that until it moved over to Facebook) and Garden. Good luck to both of you!

The blood test sounds awful JP. Do you have tricky veins or was the person doing it not very good? Hope that you have

That's interesting expat as my dh often ends up sharing a bed with dd and me with ds. He has been taking much at night it is just pure comfort so I wonder if we were to swap and I went with dd would it work?? Bloods went fine, only that she nearly killed my arm again. She had the needle in and she couldn't draw blood from it. Torture, she tried the other arm then instead. Not back with the gynae for 2 months so I won't know any results until then. Welcome gardencentre, my friend has pcos and conceived no problem on 3, and 4 as soon as she weaned. So hopefully you get luck soon.

Thanks for setting up the new thread expat, great to have our very own😊Isn't it crazy how obsessed we get, that all you want to do is test. At least when we test we feel like we are getting one step closer!!

Hi ladies , can I please join? Dd is 8 month and still bf full time. Ttc casually, as in I'm not on contraception but period hasn't returned. Weaning tips much appreciated !

Hi, I haven't been on this thread before, hope it's ok if I join? DD is 2 in a few weeks and still a voracious breastfeeder. We've been casually TTCing for about 16 months, so I'm on cycle 17 or 18, I forget. It took me 2 years to get pregnant with DD and I was diagnosed with PCOS whilst trying. So the odds aren't fabulous in my favour! Just ordered some OPKs and some preseed, going to ramp it up a notch this month, as I'm now the only person from my NCT group who won't have a DC2 by the end of this year.
