Ovulation while breastfeeding?

Hi! I am using the Clearblue ovulation tests for the first time. Currently 14th day on my cycle from 26-30 days. Been testing every morning and it's always negative. I use the app flo which says yesterday was the most fertile day, but the tests say the opposite.. Still breastfeeding twice a day so uncertain If I can ovulate at all 😕

App can't say if ypu are ovulating if you don't take your basal tempreture 🙂 i use oura ring and natural cycles app to get my temp and then the app figures out my ovulation as tempreture rises around that time. Also I do ovulation test. Do you have your period back at all?

I didn’t ovulate until after I weaned both times I breastfed. It’s possible that you won’t until you have finished breastfeeding.

@Santa I will give those a try thanks! Yes, it came back 6 months ago

@Kim thanks! How long did it take you to start ovulating again?

Natural cycles has subscription to pay, but its really good, just need to take temp every morning. Ring is more expensive but takes temp straight away in morning, you don't need to do anything 🙂

I started ovulating a couple of weeks after I weaned. I noticed I started getting quite a bit of cervical mucus around that time.

Has it been regular since it came back? It's not unusual for ovulation to be wonky while breastfeeding. I'd keep testing, you won't have a period until you ovulate anyway.

@Santa I'll check them both. Thank you 😊

@Kim oh that was quite quick. I am reducing to one a day this week, but want to keep breastfeeding for a little more. Let's see how it goes. Thank you 😊

@Jenny way more regular than it used to be actually. Since it started in May it's been between 26 and 30 days
