Anyone BF and TTC??

Hey all!

I'm still BF Bella about 4x/day, but I'm TTC #2. It took 13.5 months to get AF for the first time, and now my cycles are about 60 days long. Am I ovulating at some point?? I should be, or I wouldn't get AF.. right??

Well, I'm still BFing and although not TTC, I got pregnant apparently. I got my first period in July (LO was 7 month, already introduced solids) and another one in August, and a

last week

Haven't been really paying attention, so no idea when I ovulated, I can't even remember the dates we BDed

but I'll know more on Monday.

So it's certainly possible.

I am happy to say we are now! I just got my period yesterday (I suspected ovulation a couple weeks back but unfortunately no BD for us at the right time), so starting this cycle we will be ttc!

I do think it's likely you are ovulating, probably just much later. I imagine you are ovulating around CD45 of a 60-day cycle. Before I got pregnant the first time, my cycles were about 45-50 days, so I usually ovulated around CD30-35. Good luck and hope you get that BFP soon!

ME!!!! i feed twice a day and im on my 1st cycle since birth and was 31 days beofre i got pregnant to sort of going with that. i did opks and never got a positive but dont know if i just missed the surge (like i did the month i concieved imogen!!) as i had EWCM, spots and niggles from the left side (all what i used to have before unless i ovulate from the right i dint get any pains) around day 17. so im just need to wait and see what happens. Hpts are neg so far so just hoping AF shows over the weekend otherwise i dont know whats going on! id of though you will have ovulated to get AF.

I think it's possible to get AF but not ovulate, especially if you're BF. You just get AF eventually b/c the uterus needs to shed it's lining.
