Ttc and still breastfeeding? Thread #3: Pull up a chair for some support from others on the journey!

[auroraboringalis]

Yes, we know all about how emotional and hard it can be! All the pros and cons, all about missing Aunty Flo's and wtf cycles with no ovulation, all about children being cute and pointy. No matter if you are five months or twenty months down the breastfeeding timeline, if you're ttc again, this is the thread to join! Welcome!

congratulations Duchess!!

Thank you for the welcome! So should I start doing temps or just try and relax and see if AF arrives?

Congratulations duchess, lovely to see someone get their BFP!!

Hello everyone. Think this is the 3rd or 4th sequel of the threads I used to regularly post on (I recognise pear's name).

Just wanted to say hi and to encourage everyone to keep going. It's absolutely worth the time, effort, disappointment and final BFP happiness that you're all going through right now.

Currently sitting here BFing my 9-day old DD! I BFed DS for 2 years, stopping at pregnancy, and would you believe it's been incredibly easy to re-start BF. Milk came in quickly and nipples only sore for 2 days. I bought 2 tubes of lansinoh but doubt I'll even use that. I also think that nipples have "remembered" what shape to adopt as I hardly need to help DD to attach at all. I'm simply amazed!

Anyway, good luck everyone!

Fab news Duchess! Very exciting!

I still check back here almost daily to see how you are all getting on so have my fingers totally crossed for you all as the month progresses. Xoxo

Aw, that's lovely zoo, congratulations. xx

How're you doing dro?

Welcome mrsmoo. Hopefully af will return soon now you've stopped the nightfeeds.

Hi Mistletoe and Mrs Moo, I managed to miss a whole page lol.

Meggy, that will be brilliant if you managed to catch that first egg.

Congratulations on your new arrival Zoo, nice to hear successes and also good news that breastfeeding is going well, I really struggled getting started with my DS, I was wondering if I'd have to go through all that pain again.

Thanks again guys.

Congratulations Zoo, how fantastic to hear that bf is going so well for you with your new DD!

How are you Dro? How's everything going?

That's so lovely zoo, congrats on the birth of your dc

4dpo now & absolutely no symptoms. How's everyone else? Who's testing next?

Mumo I'm (roughly) 1 dpo so we can keep each other sane during the tww. AF due around 26th, how about you?

Mary, I would say my af is due on 22nd, only because that's 14 days after ovulation.

Hi newbies and welcome

MrsMoo I knew I'd ovulated for sure last cycle as my positive opk was followed by a dip in temperature the next day, then a rise in temperature the day after that. Not everyone gets an ovulation dip, but you will get a rise in temps following ovulation

Thanks for the update, Zoo! My DD will be 2 at the end of the month and we're still bf'ing a few times a day, to sleep most nights, and maybe once during the night as well. Can I ask how often you were feeding your lo when you got your bfp please?

11dpo....I got a BFP!! I GOT A BFP!!
I'm in shock!
& the nausea is kicking in...
Please pray for a sticky bean!!
I'm feeling very nervous

Rosie!!
just had anise at your stats- you got a bfn before first af!! Good job. xx

a nosy (not anise). bloomin phone

bfp not bfn.

That's amazing zoo, thank you for the encouragement. Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend. DS is walking now so we've been chasing him around a park! I think it was easier when we carried him everywhere!!

Congrats Rosie! Amazing news on your BFP!!!

Congratulations Rosie! That's amazing news! First egg as well - good job you!

Congratulations Zoo baby

Congratulations RosieRue

I'm feeling deeply depressed that Zoobaby remembers my name from a few threads back. Can't believe I'm heading into 6 months of serious TTC Think I'll just go crawl back into wine and chocolate land!!

Well done, Rosie! We spent 10 months trying to catch that first egg... Massive congratulations, so pleased for you x

Well done Rosie! That's lovely news.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!!
I can't believe I'm going to skip AF all together!
