TTC and still Breastfeeding? You are not alone - come to our BF-friendly cafe for a chat and some cake!

[eagle2010]

Over here all breastfeeding TTCers! Welcome to our thread - a place for us to come for support, information and to talk about the extra challenges of TTC while still breastfeeding.

Seeing as I filled up the old thread I thought I should start the new one!

For anyone who is new to the thread or needs a reminder, here are a few links to some useful websites (thanks Waiting for putting these together). I hope I've worked the links properly.

Just to update for people that remember me-baby number 2 due beginning of June, about 15 weeks now and everything seems ok-Hope you are doing ok mrsd..

Oh Toes...the suspense Is just a kier isn't it?! How many dpo are you?

I'm currently on cd26 and I'm on my 6th day showing high fertility on my CBfm. Every morning I hope it turns into a peak. Currently DTD EOD is exhausting!!

Lovely to hear from you junebaby! And so pleased everything is going well for you. Hopefully the rest will be plain sailing! I'm surviving. Keeping busy and trying to brain wash my self that Christmas will be ok.

Wonder how weebairn is doing... Hello if you're reading! Have been failing at the weebairn method lately but will get back on it next month. Assuming this month's efforts fail.

I always found bf painful when Ds was teething and when I was ov or expecting AF.

Grrr just lost a post!

2weeks past ov I think although I don't know for sure. Cramps here and there but nothing definite. They feel different to AF but maybe it's my wishful thinking... Also can't stand strong smells ATM...

Will POAS tomorrow or Wed of still no AF.

Ohh forgot to say congrats June, hopefully it's plain sailing from here! Are you still bf?

It's a BFP

This thread just popped into active convos so have caught up and am posting to say hurrah for toes and yzma! lovely to have some August (or September?!) babies.

June I'm so glad all is going well for you. Hope others who are expecting babies are doing well too, Madrigals due date must be approaching!

MrsConfusion so sorry to hear your news. I hope you are being very well looked after and have a Christmas full of indulgence. Hope you are managing ok too mrsdiddly. and enjoying lots of Christmassy weebairning! X

Welcome to all the new bf while ttc-ers and and for all depending on what you fancy.

Hello everyone!

I have been lurking and feeling sorry for myself with no AF even though DD is 2 this week!

Wanted to say hello and so sorry for your losses mrsd and mrsconfusion. That's so unfair! Really hope you get a sticky BFP very soon.

Also congrats to all of those who have had BFP!! There is hope!!

I have had a confusing time recently but think there is a chance I may have had a BFP this morning... Not entirely sure so going to get a cb digi later and poas.

Feeling rather guilty as I have indulged in a few glasses of vino this last week and I have read that can contribute to miscarriage as well as of course just being BAD for beans!

Here is my HPT. What do you reckon?!

I can definitely see a line! Woo hoo!

I wouldn't stress about the wine Thankgoodness, I think most of us have done the same, and bfp's never seem to appear when you are concentrating on doing everything right.

Thank you gunpowder!

That's actually the HPT you sent me with the cb ovulation sticks!! Must be lucky as we thought.

I am still going to get a digi for verification (have no willpower to just wait for another few days).

Now for lots of positive thinking about sticky beans!!!

Hurrah! Hope it's a sticky one for you. Good luck for the digi.

Well I just did a cb digi and it was a BFN!

Not sure what to make of it all now. Feel a bit gutted.

Am going to retest with a superdrug one tomorrow and see. If nothing then will step away from the POAS for a few days and see what happens!!

Seeing this thread for the first time in ages!

Congrats yzma and toes

That def looked like a line to me, thankgoodness! On my DS I did a CB digi on a Friday and got a BFN but on the Monday it was BFP! Maybe wait a few days and test again?

Great news, june. Hope you're feeling well. And gunpowder, hope that all's going well for you too.

Lots of and to mrsc and mrsd. Hope you're both doing well.

I think CB aren't as sensitive as some of the other brands TG, so defo test again. I think Superdrug and first response are supposed to be best for early testing. Don't give up hope yet!

Eagle! hope twins are doing well and you are feeling a bit better now it's second trimester time.

Feeling good thanks gunpowder, we had a great scan the other week and saw them both moving around

I'm almost halfway there now because I won't go over 38 weeks.

Growing really quickly and feeling lots of movement now, it's like they're pushing off each other! Hope you're feeling good too? You're probably halfway there as well!

Hi ladies, I haven't been here for a while as I was getting a bit too obsessed with counting days and peeing on ovulation sticks so I've stayed away for a bit to chill myself out

Started TTC about 6 months ago, DS is 18 months this week and still BFs to sleep at night time and occasionally for a day time nap.

My period was due on the 12th so I'm ever so slightly freaking out trying not to work myself up and get ahead of myself. Had to go to Mothercare yesterday and got all teary when I noticed the newborn section!!! I've been regular as clockwork since AF returned post-baby. TO THE DAY!

I felt a couple of slight waves of nausea today. Keeping everything crossed but at the same time telling myself not to think about it as I don't want the disappointment if AV shows up. I haven't mentioned it to DP yet, but I did ask him the date a couple of nights ago and he got quite excited and asked why but I brushed it off (for the same reason). OH GAWD

Please help me calm the F* down!

cherrylola have you poas yet? I just had to count on my fingers when the 12th was. That's a whole 5 days ago!!! Hope you're feeling OK and fingers and toes crossed for you

Got a BFP this morning! Totally over the moon and DP is too! We're both wondering how we can keep it quiet over Xmas as I'm sure our families will twig as soon as I decline a glass of wine! I must be maximum 3 weeks so would like to hold off telling for a while yet.

Feeling nervous already as a few friends have had some tragic experiences recently so it's made me much more anxious than I ever was with first Pg.

Good luck everyone

Aww cherry congratulations!!

I'm on the 2ww. It is hell. I keep having upper backache and achey boobs (especially round the sides) which comes and goes. I'm tired but in always tired so that's no help at all AF is not due until Tuesday I think so I've still got a few days to go before anything would show up on a stick. I've taken two tests already. No more until the weekend

Yay! Another BFP for Christmas! Congratulations Cherry!

Pear maybe you'll be next.

Yep I'm halfway too eagle. DD is STILL feeding.

Hope everyone's well.

Sadly Gunpowder I think it's my mind playing tricks on me. When you want it so much you just start clutching on straws any straw

Woop woop cherry! Awesome news. Just had to pop back to see if you tested! I have no idea how you managed to wait 5 days though!

Who else is on the 2ww and what are your symptoms please?

MrsDiddlydoo I'm not sure either! I think because I knew straight away with my first PG I felt so sick all day long unlike anything I'd ever experienced so because I don't feel that way now I assumed AF would just show up . That, and the fact I had absolutely no chance to get to a chemist to buy a test what with work and toddler bed times

It hasn't really sunk in yet. Keeping everything crossed for everyone here TTC. Hope you all have a relaxed Xmas enjoying your DP and DCs xxx

Is there actually anyone left on here TTC or is everyone pregnant now?
