Hi!
A little about me - I'm pushing 34, have a 10 month old DD that I'm still breastfeeding and really want to conceive no.2 asap!
I am on my second cycle since AF returned and am temp / CM / CP charting using fertility friend and have OPKs!
I ovulated on day 29 of my last cycle, and am on day 21 at the moment.
Have been having fun and games with very fertile signs over the past week, so lots of BD, but no ovulation, poor DH is full of a cold and not feeling very energetic but I keep insisting that he perform until my temps go up

So anyway - hoping that there are others out there in a similar boat who can help to keep me sane and hopefully share some good news in the coming months.

Hi,

I'm not a very regular poster here and if it's ok will just keep an eye on this thread and pop in occasionally - but came on mn tonight basically to ask about exactly this!

I have dd (2.5yrs) and ds (8mo) and ever since he was born we have known we'd like no3 pretty soon. He was ebf until 6 months, then weaned onto solids and formula, but still bf at night (once or twice maximum) until 7 months. Haven't bf at all for the last 6 weeks. Still no sign of AF and it's beginning to depress me.

Anyone have any idea how long I can expect to wait??

greenblanket I think it is possible to ovulate before your period returns but don't know how you would know about it. Maybe someone wiser will be along soon!

QueenFee we too are finding the current kids prevent too many actual efforts being made for dc3... glad we're not the only ones!

Hello sbf

I am 28. I have 3 DCs
DD - 5
DS1 - 3
DS2 - 7 months

I think you already know that I haven't yet had a visit from AF Like the idea of a support thread and it's very frustrating not knowing where I stand.

Have to admit because of the above DC's there isn't too much SWI going on but I do try.
