The All New TTC whilst Breastfeeding Support Thread

[haloflo]

Have a breastfed baby or toddler? Why not try for another one?! Who needs sleep anyway?

Come join us whether you are waiting for your first period in months or are are a few months into trying.

Mine is 19mo so I don't think it's that small a gap! She'll be 2.5yo even if I'm successful this month. I do think 2 under 2s is mad though .

My DD is 25 months now so will be a fair size gap but I'm still terrified! Don't feel a desperate need for a baby, but would like DD to have a sibling, preferably closer in age than I was to my brother (almost 4y)...

Well, AF due today. No sign as yet, but tested yesterday and got a BFN. So why am I still hoping?

Spoke too soon. AF here.

fredkiller we are all hoping every month! That's the thing with ttc isn't it. Lets hope you and I both have better luck this month.

This is Torture.

Sil is pregnant again, yay!

Feel like such a 4 year old but why why why cant it be meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Af is on the way, me obvious? Never.

That's crappy Lola, so not what you need :(

Well I'm 9dpo and not touched a test yet :) DH uncovered my strategy last night when he commented on all the ideas / planning / buying I was doing already for Christmas... that's right, I'm reading Christmas instead of Conception on MN!

well we moved DS into his own bed in our bedroom last night he managed until 4:30 with a couple of stirs and then i got a tap on the shoulder and a ''mama's bed' so i am pretty chuffed with that, he will be 2 soon, how did that happen?

Today were off out and as DP has taken the day off this will be our first day of distract from the boob and none until bedtime, i don't know if me or him are ready to wean yet but i'm not doing this constant snacking like a newborn anymore.
This is not even about TTC it's just more about the tantrum if i say 'no booby', it's the only time he really get's tantrummy but he gets so angry and screams and hurts himself. I need to remember that whilst they are his 'booby' they are part of my body and i am allowed to say no when he doesn't need it.

I think this will be a tired week

That's rubbish Lola! My mate who is bf a ten month old is preggers too, what's worse is that she has not only managed to conceive whilst bf, she's also only got one tube! This will be our month girls, positive thinking!
5dpo here. Not an opk or hpt in sight but did loads of shagging at the right time. Have no symptoms what so ever, the sore nips have eased a bit and sure they were ov related anyway. Had no symptoms with ds so feeling hopeful. Did have some ov / AF pain last night. Did cross my mind implantation but trying not to obsess this month so put it down to wind
I reckon if I haven't had AF by sat I will poas. My LP is usually only 10-12 days anyway and sat is 10dpo. When's anyone else testing?

I didn't test last time until a week past when my period is due. Though my AF is usually fairly accurate within 1-2 days. Though I don't test, I do have all sorts of imaginary symptoms like sore nips every month. And imaginary baby names too.

Yes I have lots of imaginary baby names and also imaginary wall paper and imaginary furniture for the imaginary baby's imaginary room

I'm tempted to poas tomorrow, 10dpo, as reckon a fair chance of a line if I am pregnant. Got a line at 12dpo with DD and that was with a nornal test and i still have the super sensitive ones left...

No signs at all, but after a few false alarms in previous months I'm thinking that's good. Not feeling that hopeful but gradually cutting down / out feeds as DD (the milk monster!) does seem a bit less interested. Except for the last couple of days: DD has her first ever cough at 25 months!

jakey yes yes to imaginary baby room. I even do imaginary nursery runs with toddler and baby .

jennimoo good luck.

I'm getting into watery cm days. Another cycle begins!

Yes good luck jenni. Keep us posted.
I had leg cramp in the night, something I've only ever had when preggo.

BFN today. Trying not to dwell on it though, try again tomorrow I guess...

sorry jenni , try again, maybe leave it a couple of days, if you think you can.

This is not my month folks, here comes the period pains due on Thursday, nice.

Another face.

still nothing here...

lol @ imaginary nursery runs toddling terror! I will admit to having the names for both boy and girl already picked out

Good news is I picked up a little freelance work, just a little, so things will be a little easier this winter and I will feel less like a completely incapable mother

Oh yes imaginary baby here as well.

Today I was just exhausted and actually sat down and did nothing on my official breaks today, when normally I run around doing errands. Of course it's pregnancy tiredness kicking in (at 7 DPO )!

we have both names, The first thought i had when they announced Sil's pregnancy was ''she better not pick my name's''

I'm nice me.

at Lola.

Names picked here too. Although DH remains to be convinced on both of them. Psht, a minor detail.

BWAHAHAHa rainbows - thought it was just me thinking 'oh i'm so tired i cant keep my eyes open today' and pushing the buggy to the sheep seemed MUCH harder work, so obviously I must be pregnant

No that's makes 3 of us. I was exhausted this morning. Nothing to do with ds feeding and wriggling and kicking the covers off me all night, most definately because I'm pregnant at 7dpo.
We're funny
