TTC with a small age gap.

[toobreathless]

Hello!

Nobody is more surprised than me to find myself here so soon after having DD (11 months). In fact I'm going to have to have my implant out next week, I wasn't planning on another baby for at least a couple of years.

But things have worked out such that a baby next year would work very well & we are both very broody.

Anybody fancy joining me?

Cani ask people who got pregnant without a period in between how did you know you were pregnant? And how far along were you? And how did you know how far along you were? I know the 12 week scan dates your pregnancy but how did you know when to have the 12 week scan?

Again, can I not cani.

I believe (not speaking from experience, but from a friend) that the twelve week scan is the dating scan so if you are unsure as to when your dates are the midwife/gp would refer you for a dating scan to date your pregnancy as for the others I can't answer a I'm in the same boat!!

I had to drop bf in day suddenly to get periods back while ttc. Still bf morning, night and overnight. Worked for me. First period exactly 2 weeks later, pg after one full cycle. I am so lucky. got pg when dd 10 months, and like bagofholly am having twins. 23 days to go before my CS.

Good luck op!

Wow, congratulations dop!

Dop I have started trying your technique. I started yesterday and am only feeding first thing and last thing, offering formula in-between. We'll see how it goes.

toobreathless have you had your implant out? Does it take a while to get out of your system or are you able to get cracking straight away?

Anyone still ttc? How's it going?

I am. DD is 10m and we waited 3 years for her so never had plans to use contraception again.

HV told me I'll have to stop bf to get my periods back. I said I'd had them since DD was 8wks (when she slept 10 hrs a night for two months. Teaser!) HV said, oh but you won't be ovulating. Having waited 3 yrs I know too much A Lot about ov and think I may be pregnant! Only got a faint line so far though

Wow! Congratulations! Surely a faint line is still a positive? I keep hearing so many conflicting things about bf and ttc, but having no periods yet I've decided to reduce the bf. Morning and night at mo, and as of Thurs before bedtime only.

soandsosmummy are you going to do another test? And are you still bf? Are you going to continue? Bet you're dead excited, that must be great after waiting so long for number 1

Yes, I did a clear blue. Very clear. Pregnant!

Yes, I'm still bf
And ill have ti continue at least until she drinks from a cup as DD has refused a bottle. I'm hoping that she'll be done before too long so I get a little break between them
