TTC while breastfeeding

[tierneytarny]

Hi Guys

Just like it says in the title - I’m TTC whilst still breastfeeding. I’ve been very casual about it as didn’t want the stress or pressure I had last time but I have realised that I don’t seem to have any CM during the month. I vaguely remember it being similar last time (to the point of 2 days after DTD I had lots of EWCM and I said to my DH, we’ve done it, we’ve hit the right time and we had!).
Any advice or is this a refer to GP issue? I have some weight to lose (lockdown pounds!) and know that won’t be helping but starting to feel that stress creeping back in!

I'm no expert but I've been bf and while you are you may not be ovulating or having your periods yet. How old is your little one? I also don't think everyone has noticeable cm - mine isn't only very occasionally I notice some on the toilet paper after wiping. Have you tried tracking with ovulation tests/temperature to confirm ovulation?

Baby is 18 months so only feeding a couple of times a day really. My periods came back after 3 months. It’s good to know that CM isn’t always noticeable as it’s a massive panic.

I’m trying to avoid ovulation tests and checking temperature etc just to stop the stress (though I have it anyway so I might as well really!).

It’s so stressful isn’t it?!
