TTC and still breastfeeding? You're not alone! Thread# 2

[peardrop2]

Marking my place...hoping I won't be here for long

Thanks Mary! (Envisages Pear running around screaming ) x

Hah hah! My nose is scrunched up and I'm pulling a omg face Its OK though because I think it only applies if you haven't seen AF and I'm probably much further down the line. I don't like what the article says about bf effecting implantation think that's me

Oh and I'm happy to start a stats thingy. It's quite helpful to have one floating around because I always forget what's what and who is who. Do we want it floating on this page or a separate page?

Holy crud that's a scary statistic! My sister has twins, I just couldn't do it!
Welcome Mum I guess return of AF is a silver lining to your poor dd's throat infection. Hope she's better?
My lo has come down with a sickness bug this evening, needless to say he's been bf alot (dc3 16mo no AF) Reminds me how glad I am to still be bf though....

Thanks Pear AKA Clever Person.

My stats are ttc #2 and I am on cycle #6 of properly trying ie since AF returned at 16 mos and ttc stopped being just a stab in the dark (ooh er) as it were... Is that all you need?

Yeah Ispy...isn't bf the best to cure their sickness, scares & sadness

Twins can be hereditary, iSpy

ISpy, hope your lo feels better soon x

Shall we run a twins sweepstake? my moneys's on ispy

Thanks for that info, Ruth, I didn't know about Eagle x

Am I the only one who thinks twins would could be great? (Is everyone else in a cold sweat like Pear and iSpy right now?

Ruth I've just had a nosy at the last thread - yes, there was a twins bfp! It was the op

(sorry, I can't type at all after 10pm )

Huh? It was the op pear?

OP = original poster on that thread

(Points finger at Pear) it could be you

Hi Mary & Ruth. Omg 9 x more likely to conceive twins??!! Eek!

Ruth, sounds like we're quite similar in terms of age of baby & feeding. I'm sure my AF only came back because she was poorly for a few days & fed much less than usual.

Pear, that would be fab to do a stats page, thanks. My stats are:

Ttc#2 age 32 cycle 1 bfp due 23 March (but really could be any time as I've only just had my first af so not sure how regular they'll be iyswim)

Ava - my DH would have a mega breakdown if we had twins. He's only just getting his head around the idea of having another baby! He's an only child and just struggles with it all even though he is a brilliant dad.

OK, I will set up our stats page sometime this week...promise

I should be asleep but I'm struggling to understand why I invited lots of different pregnant friends over for coffee play dates this week? I am mad or maybe just trying to get it over with before mission EOD take 4 begins

Good luck, Pear for both!x

Ava- I think twins would be awesome! 1 pregnancy 2 babies eek! And since I watch a lo that is only 5 months older then mine I think I could handle it

Mum- Welcome!
My DS is 8 months, sleeps through the night but nurses on demand (4-6 xs) during the day.
No sign of AF yet. Just started temping regularly & they are all over the place so I don't think I am ovulating yet either, although my body is showing signs to gear up for it. DH & I want a big family so we want to concieve as soon as we can

Pear- stats would be great I can never keep everyone & their stats matched either. Also I think you will have the next BFP

I hope everyone has a happy week!

mumo DC is 11 months. Only managed to kickstart AF last month by going cruelly down from feed on demand to two feeds in the space of four days. Just couldn't wait for it to return by itself any longer! ruth I would suggest you try it!
I wouldn't mind twins because of exactly that reason. I'd prefer three but I need to get the career back on track as taking so much time off is not great for me (academia). My pnd doesn't deserve twins of course.
These things of course always happen to other people, not me, so if I fall pregnant again, regardless of being late thirties and breastfeeding I think I will probably still only have one. Ha-aa!

Anyone else thrilled to wake up to the news that Fearne cotton is now expecting no2 when her first is 1? Oh man...even celebrities I don't know now make me

If I do stats page I deserve to be next in line...if only

Morning all!

Hi Rosie (waves).

Here is an article about ttc whilst bf-ing & it does talk about how to if still no af. It's by the alpha parent, whatever your feelings about her may be!

Good luck with the play dates pear & you should definitely be next in line after doing the stats too!!!
