TTC and breastfeeding

Hi,
Hoping for some advice. Currently TTC baby 3. DS is 14 months, utter boob monster (but as was DD at 12 months when managed to get pregnant easily with DS).
Had a 6 week miscarriage in January, cycle all over the place. Always had long, irregular cycles (36-42 days).
Not sure what I am asking, just advice regarding conception and breastfeeding. I don't ever seem to get ewcm. OPKs tricky as cycles sooooo long. Any advice from mummies about kick starting cycles, or successes? I don't want to stop breastfeeding.
Thanks

If you got pregnant with your second child whilst breastfeeding your first & got pregnant in January whilst breastfeeding (sorry for your loss OP Flowers) I can't see any reason why you won't concieve again whilst BF! It will be hard to time if you don't have regular cycles or get ovu symptoms but could you buy some internet cheapie ovulation tests & start taking them every other day maybe?

Thank you for this. Yes, you are probably right. We decided to try when DS was 6 months, so it's been a while of trying and the lack of cycles is just frustrating, on top of the early miscarriage. Internet cheapies might be the best way of knowing what's going on.
