How to encourage ovulation?

[Mamaof1DD]

I don’t think “encourage” is the right word but hopefully you all know what I mean!

DD arrived 4 months ago and we’re hoping to start TTC number 2 early next year.

I know it’s still early days but I’m not ovulating (although I do occasionally get a faint line on ovulation tests so I think my body might be thinking about it?) nor have I got my period back.

DD is EBF but has been sleeping 12 hour stretches overnight since 8 weeks.

Are there any ways I can kind of kickstart ovulation or encourage my body to get itself back into baby mode?

Sorry if this is a stupid question or insensitive in any way, DD was our first attempt at TTC so I’m not sure of what it actually entails as I’m not anticipating this time being as easy (especially as I had an EMCS).

Thanks!

It may not be your thing, but there are a lot of positive experiences from people who have had acupuncture to kick start ovulation. I am trying it now and, if nothing else, it’s a 30 minute session where you have no option but to relax, so I figured it can’t hurt!
