Anyone TTC while breastfeeding?

[Leeze]

Woo-hoo. I feel some BFPs in the air!

Hello ladies!! :wave:

So exciting! I hope we see some from you ladies in the days to come this week!

I'm trying to remind myself to be patient. My period is over, and we are finally approaching ovulation slowly but surely. We got pregnant our first month trying with Aria, and then weren't trying with our angel, so I keep reminding myself that there is a lot of patience involved with TTC. I just want to be ovulating already! xDDDDD

 

[iow_bird]

Argh! I take that back, I feel so sick urgh! And I'm cooking hashbrowns at 8.30am! hmm! My theory is, if it makes me puke it's probably a bug
I wish I could test now!!

Swan: I had 5 m/c before Tilly, 4 of which were accidents! Then it took us 12 months to get Tilly, and 2 months of actually "trying" for Noah. It's definitely an exercise in patients and unpredictability!

 

[Lilly12]

I say TEST!!

 

[iow_bird]

I just stupidly tested and BFN. But I think I'm possibly only 8dpo, so was a bit stupid testing really!!

 

[iow_bird]

Sorry for the excess of posts! I'm going loopy here. One minute I'm convinced AF is going to show soon, the next I'm thinking...oooh but maybe.....! I've had tons of creamy cm this afternoon, have thought AF had shown up a few times. I'm so confused, and being late for AF is rubbish with no BFP. If this turns into a wonky cycle I'm going to be so upset, and my gut instinct is that it will turn out to be wonky and AF will show. Trying to look on the bright side, at least LP has lengthened!

 

[mamamoe]

argh! Still no af and still no symptoms of anything!

Mamamoe: When are you testing? I'm waiting till Friday, AF is 2 days late but I think I'm maybe only 8dpo. x

iow_bird, I did a test this morning and it was bfn. I think I'll just keep testing every morning until I get a bfp or AF shows! I'm starting to feel cramping more like AF cramps!

FX'd for you!!! and me!

DH is out of town for work until Friday night :/ but luckily, I'm not expecting to O until saturday or sunday! I told him no "special" alone time, he has to save it all up for when he gets home

We've been NTNP since April. Had to eventually see a fertility specialist with the first, so the plan right now is 6 months of serious trying on our own, then talking to my new dr about what he can do for us if no luck by then. My insurance covers ZERO if the word "fertility" is anywhere in my chart, so I am really really keeping everything crossed that we can get lucky in the next six months!

Iow_bird, I am anxious for you!!! I understand your feeling though, I was four days late last cycle. By about 2 days late I realized it was just a wonky cycle and I was right, but I hope you get better news!

 

[iow_bird]

I'm hoping the eggy implanted just in time to stop AF, might test again with FMU tomorrow? Or shall I wait until Friday. I feel like I'm on a bit of a rollercoaster right now!! 3 days late now.

Brit: You should get hubby to have "some special alone time" 2 days before he comes home! Keep those swimmers fresh! xx

Our fertility doc last time made him hold it all in for like two weeks before I ovulated, and it (along with some drugs haha) worked like a charm! So I think I'm sticking with that route for now, but I definitely need to do some more research!!

I just bought some IC for the first time, I can't even fathom how much money I have wasted on HPTs in the last few years, and I'm doing OPKs for the first time, which might just make me more crazy but I guess we'll see! Took an opk (with very diluted pee!) and it was totally negative. Which I guess is good since he's out of town, but is there usually a gradual build up to positive or is there still a chance I could O this weekend?

mine normally gat darker a day or two before then bam pos, then disappears the next day. but my lh surge is only 12 hrs so it might be diff for others x

So do you think maybe you ovulated the second surge you caught then instead of the first?

 

[mamamoe]

Tested bfn this morning at 10 dpo! My temp was still elevated though, so I'm hoping that I just tested too early. Usually my temps start to go down at this point so FX'd! Only symptom is slight cramping.

How's everyone else doing? iow_bird, how ya hanging in there??

Can't wait to see who the first BFP is!!!

 

[kalyrra]

Well, 11 dpo today! (I think... lol, since I'm not entirely sure when I actually ovulated)

I am definitely sure that I'm not pregnant, which is disappointing... but at the same time, I'm really happy that my LP seems to be lengthening without my having to order vitex and take it! I didn't even bother testing this morning.

I've also decided I should probably lose some weight. I've been putting it off, and I can't seem to break my addiction to twizzlers and ice cream.
Would love to drop about 35 lbs before I got pregnant, but it's not going to keep me from trying, either.

If my LP goes back to normal 14 days (ish), I expect to see AF sometime this weekend.

 

[iow_bird]

Hey
Still no AF, now 4days late and BFN again this morning at (possibly) 9dpo.

Kalyrra: yup, I think I probably ovulated the second surge. Looking at the stuff I have on countdowntopregnancy, I have more Ov signs then, cervix, cm, etc! I was really confused about when I was Oving, and worried I only had a 4 day LP, but at least I've got to 9dpo this cycle which means we're in with a chance of pregnancy.

I'm getting hubby to bring me home another test tomorrow evening and I'll do it on Saturday am, which will be 11dpo.

In other news, which is helping keep my mind off everything, Noah is being put forward for a part in a nappy advert hehe! I had to do a quick photoshoot for him last night and thought you might like to see one of the pictures of my cute little guy!

 

[Leeze]

Quickly checking for any BFP news! No-one is out yet!

I got my BFP the last time after OH had saved them for about a week. My Doc suggested it.

Iow-bird - Noah is such a cutie! X

 

[BrittasticTX]

Iow bird, he is a cutie patooty!! I'm in the same boat with the weight loss, I could definitely stand to lost a good 30 pounds before I get pregnant again, but we'll see which comes first!

OPK this afternoon with pretty concentrated pee was disappointingly dark! I say disappointingly because my DH won't be home til friday night!! I started OPKs last cycle, but I ended up Oing I'm pretty sure while I was staying with my brother, so I never saw what the OPK actually looked like during the LH surge, I'm hoping it just seems dark now, but come friday it will be super dark!

C'mon ladies, we need a BFP or two in here to motivate!

 

[iow_bird]

Hey
I lost heaps more weight after Noah, heaps quicker. I never got back to pre preggy weight after Tilly! I'm aiming to get back in my pre Tilly Jeans after the next baby.

AF is still not here, which makes me 5 days late! I've never been 5 days late in my life! But I'm telling myself it's my cycle sorting itself out cos I ovulated late, so at least I'll have a sensible LP again now I feel like getting a BFP is a complete impossibility, which is silly as we BDed at the right times and were using preseed, so have as good a chance as anyone else!

How are the rest of you going?

 

[Jokerette]

Tested today at 8dpo sooooo early. BFN

 

[iow_bird]

I'm waiting for hubby to come home from work and go and buy me a test! I'm having a crap day, yesterday was great, didn't care if I was UTD or not. Today I feel depressed and sure I'm not. Wonder what tomorrow will bring?
(PS> still no af, no signs of pregnancy, and I think I've got a bug coming. Felt so blue this morning I've kept my Tilly home from daycare today to cheer me up)!
