Breastfeeding and TTC

[Wanderdream]

Been TTC for a year since my periods came back. No luck yet. Could this be stopping me? I presumed because my periods had come back o would be able to conceive despite breastfeeding but is that not the case?

I feed little man normally between 2-3 times a day.

As far as I understand it holiday be stopping you. It’s something like when your little one is over 6 months and not EBF your natural protection declines if that makes sense. Have you tried the ovulation tracking apps and opk?

I think once your periods are back, breastfeeding doesn't stop you getting pregnant.

I conceived easily whilst bf twice per day. I think once periods are back you are probably ovulating and therefore able to conceive.

Great thank you for the responses everyone. I use opks and get a positive most months but I know you can get a positive on them but it doesn’t mean you’re actually ovulating.

Sleep pattern is too irratic at the moment to monitor my bbt to check ovulation xx

I’m in the same boat, TTC #2 but still breastfeeding my DS. He still feeds multiple times day and night and he doesn’t want to stop. My periods came back 6 months ago and I’ve been doing OPKS and getting a positive when my app says I should be ovulating but no luck yet 😞

I have just got a bfp yesterday it’s my second time to conceive while bf . The first one I got my period back at 17 months and conceived 3 cycles later and this time they have just returned first cycle .

I have read that the later they come back the great the chance that your body actually releases an egg when you ovulate .

I also start taking B6 as soon as it comes back to try regulate my hormones I’ve heard it can help .
