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.

Really not feeling great. Soooo hoping that it is pregnancy related. I'm going to be sooooo gutted if it's not

Pear FX you get a BFP too and it can be a double whammy! When can you test?

Thanks Hide. I might drop in to the October bus in a while. Don't want to count my chickens until I'm at least a week late.

Ooh yes pear that would be great!!

I've had an amazing nap whilst DS napped this afternoon and I feel miles better. I so want to pee on a stick!!! Urrrrrr waiting is not fun! I will probably be 12 DPO on Monday so if I'm lucky enough to get that far then Monday will be my day!

FX pear! Needing a nap is a good sign...
I have been feeling pretty awful today. Tired, headache, faintly nauseous. Don't know if it's psychosomatic now that I know or just a coincidence or pregnancy. Also super thirsty! Perhaps I am coming down with a cold too...

POAS this afternoon to check I hadn't dreamt it all. Faint line on a FRER. Phew!

As soon as I got my BFP frazzled I started feeling nauseous as well! I did wonder if it was psychomatic as well. Now I get really strong nausea when I feed DS. I think it's when I letdown.

Yay frazzled fantastic news! Stick in there little bean.

Still feeling nauseous here at 8dpo (which is clearly ridiculous). Not tempted to poas yet pear as it would clearly be negative but if I still feel like this next week then I think Wednesday will be my earliest day (13dpo) though af not due till somewhere around 1-3 March.

I don't want to go to bed in case AF turns up in the morning

Really feeling like something is up now. Third night now with blocked nose. I can only breathe through my mouth. Deffo feel constipated I think I am going to poas in the morning

Bfn on a FrER These must be AF cramps. I was certain in the night it was constipation. Think I'm going to cry

Oh no Pear! Although - I had a super duper faint line on the FRER yesterday and I was 12 DPO. It could just be a bit early for you? Really, really hope its not AF!!! (I was going to write, "really hope you're constipated" and realised how weird that sounded ). Perhaps try again on Sunday if AF hasn't arrived?

Still no AF here and POAS this morning - finally got a incredibly faint line on an IC. Still can't believe it's really happening and spent most of last night lying awake worrying about the wine I had when I thought I was out for this month. That and the fact I have a really sore throat and swollen glands in my throat. I don't think that's a pregnancy symptom though. DH and DD have both had colds the last week so I think it's just my turn!

These are definitely AF cramps even though she hasn't turned up yet. So upset. I really started to believe this was my month too Might disappear for a while as I just can't bare the thought of going through it all again next month and now I have to wean DS off his 7pm feed. Just so unfair ??

Oh Pear I am so sorry. I totally understand the need to disappear. It is unfair. This whole TTC business is a hideous game of snakes and ladders. Obviously I still have my fingers crossed for you (remember a few days ago when you were the one persuading me not to give up hope...?).

Yeah frazzled I do remember. Hard to take your own advice isn't it AF hasn't shown up but it is normal for me to have pre AF cramps before any spotting so I just have to wait it out. Weirdly my CBfm isn't suggesting that AF should be here. Just a waiting game now but these really do feel like AF cramps so I'm pretty certain I'm out.

Hello. Cd34, possibly DPO 9. I've gone from "I'm not going to test until next week" to "what the hell I'm just going to POAS everyday" mode No sign of AF. BFN on IC this morning. Taking all my will power not to use my last Frer! cramps are waking me up which is v v annoying.

Frazzled- congrats very exciting!!
How often are you still feeding DC?

Pear -your next!
You and everyone else hang in there.

pear that sound promising... Really hope this is it! ICs are so crap - get some superdrug tests. I have got early BFPs on those when ICs were still negative and even FRER was still vv faint. Also 9 DPO is still v early. Keep us posted!

Thanks Rosie it hasn't sunk in yet. Keep thinking AF is going to show up after all. I am feeding once a day in the morning but only a tiny bit. In fact today I haven't fed her at all (first time ever)!

Pear get some superdrug tests they are brilliant! IC aren't even worth using until you are well late. I have got all my fingers and toes crossed for you! I just have a feeling you are going to get a BFP.

I have one Superdrug test that I am saving for Tuesday possibly Monday I wish IC won't so crap! I have 2 IC left but I know they're a waste of time!

Ok when you ladies say superdrug test what kind/brand are you talking about?

Rosie, we're talking about the First Response tests at Superdrug. They often sell twin packs buy1 get 1 free. I got my BFP with DS at 11dpo using one of these but the Internet cheapies didn't show anything for days!
