Breastfeeding & TTC

I was still breastfeeding my son at 9 mo. I wear and oura ring that tracks my temp and inputs it into natural cycles to track my ovulation. We had sex on the confirmed day of my ovulation and now I have a 2 year old and 6 month old. If you aren’t temp tracking/using ovulation strips. I suggest giving that a try. You might not be ovulation when you think

@Khyia I’ll definitely give this a go, thank you. I track with ovulation strips but not temp I am 36 now so might be that too x

I did get pregnant when breastfeeding my 2 year old but only when my periods came back

No, it was easier to conceive than with my first but my son was over 2 years old when we started trying for number two. I was tracking my ovulation so knew when I was fertile and I had had at least 5 cycles since they had returned before we tried.

I wasn’t trying but I got pregnant twice while still breastfeeding (one ended in miscarriage) My daughter was 16 months the first time and 18 months second time I conceived. I’m almost 10 weeks and still breastfeeding

My second baby was definitely a bit of a surprise 🙈 I have PCOS so have long irregular cycles but my periods became more regular after having my first baby. I was EBF and my periods returned at 11 months PP. went a couple of months before my next then my cycles became a lot shorter so I ovulated a lot sooner than normal and fell pregnant when my son was 21 months old. He was having 2 feeds a day I think x
