Breastfeeding mama's ttc again!

[Kelly9]

What Melissa said crossroads. Although I like the for sureness of opks and charting I don't think you need a cbfm if you do those.

I want to go to hawaii for our honeymoon we've been married for 2.5 years just never had a honeymoon.

 

[Melissa_M]

we never had a honeymoon either that's one of our biggest regrets.

 

[QueSeraSera]

It's a lovely place to visit, but it can be expensive! The beaches are gorgeous though. My family loves visiting us us here...doubt we will get as many visits after we move in november! Lol

We got married in vegas 2 years ago and never had a honeymoon either. Whenever anyone asked where we were having our honeymoon, dh would say "were having a staycation in hawaii" lol

 

[Guppy051708]

we went on a honeymoon but it was so close to home im not sure if i'd call it that I wish we could have gone on a real honeymoon....but our lease for our apartment didnt start until 2 weeks after are wedding so we were living with our parents....not fun!


does anyone here have PCOS?

 

[Kelly9]

DO you think you have PCOS Steph? I don't think you need to worry, or do the IPs have it? How did that go by the way?

 

[Guppy051708]

Actually, due to my history cycles, being insulin resistant, and not ovulating until really late in my cycle, plus bunch of other factors (for instance, I get. EWCM throughout my entire cycle) I am at a pretty big risk for having it.....which sounds crazy since I got pregnant so easily (though I had an early MC, coincidence or not? I really don't knw) but I'm meeting w my OB in March. HEr and lactation sorta expect to find something along those lines. Which would also explain why My boobs never changed much during puberty or pregnancy and why my prolactin levels have been low, why my milk never came in. Plus I have a Hx of under active thyroid and a family history of PCOS, and yes they have had children too before knowing this. (about 50% of women w PCOS do ovulate, just varies). Since a lot of other hormones are out of wack, then progesteron would be too....and thats why my breast tissue never formed appropriately to BF (progesterone helps create tissue to make/store milk). Also, my LP have only ever been 9-10 days.....if I take b12 regularly (or was it B6 ?) then on a good cycle it's 11 days. I now have a name for why For my boob/milk issue. It's called Breast Hypoplasia (or hypo plastic breasts) which is highly highly associated w it. So any who, it would explain a TON of stuff....But if that's not it then I'd be over the moon about that! Lol but if it is, want it taken care of bc it can be a degenerative thing, or so I'm told.

My main reason for wanting to know is bc the next time I get pregnant, they can give me progesterone sonthat my breast tissue can increase and it will increase my chance of EBF 10 fold.....that's really my reason for wanting to know...although I am nervous that two separate specialties brought this up. Lactation did multiple ties but I just overlooked it. And one my OBGYNs is a fertility specialist and she's a little concerned....blah

 

[Guppy051708]

Still havnt heard back from the IPs

 

[Melissa_M]

at least if you knew is was PCOS you could try and avoid future problems

 

[Guppy051708]

Yeah, that's sorta why iminvestigating. I mean, its not like I want PCOS haha but I just want it taken care of if it is...

 

[crossroads]

sorry, im no help on that one...we use the "take a shot in the dark" (i call it the SitD)method

i was looking at a CBFM, but they are kind of expensive and am now thinking that if the SitD method doesnt work for us in 6 months, then i will look into putting out the cash for one

lol SitD I like it

If AF arrives I'm going to use my CBFM for the first time.

 

[Guppy051708]

^ Good luck with the CBFM!

 

[QueSeraSera]

I agree! Good luck with the CBFM...you'll have to let me know if you like it

 

[Kelly9]

Oh I see, that makes sense then Steph, although I doubt it will affect your ability to get pg again.

I hope you don't have to use the cbfm crossroads!

My baby has bronchitis and possibly a mild case of pneumonia, he's on antibiotics now. Poor little dude. We had a rough night last night with very little sleep cause he was crying so much, in fact he was crying while he slept. His breathing is so raspy and wheezy i hope the drugs work and soon!

cd 8 tomorrow I think, I'll be doing opks again soon! I hope this clomid works and I ovulate around cd14!

Oh no, I hope your baby gets better soon! My husband is just getting over bronchitis (he's had it for nearly 2 months now, it's awful and I was sooo paranoid that my babe would get it too). Here's wishing him a speedy recovery; it's no fun for them or for you when no one is sleeping.

 

[Guppy051708]

blah looks like Ov. happened yesterday (CD 19)...i figured having a baby would make them slightly better, and i know BFing can change cycles, but its the same so far =/
Not that it really matters for me at the moment...well i guess kind of it does bc AF will be here and then i'll have another full cycle towards surrogacy. only 1-2 more to go!...oh yeah, and parents Last time my LP wasnt long at all (the norm for me though), hopefully i can maintain my 10 day LP or increase it...

Audrey is getting stuffy and snotty lately..hoping she isnt coming down with something too. Seems to be that time of the year though... :-/

Hope your little guy gets on the mend soon and you can all get some rest and start feeling better!

 

[Melissa_M]

I just ordered 50 ovulation tests and 15 pregnancy tests online
It was only $30...not bad!

Can you tell I'm excited to TTC again???

 

[crossroads]

Thanks guys.

Kelly (is that your real name?) I hope your baba gets better soon. I always get frustrated when Amy is ill. I think "I thought BFing was supposed to prevengt this??" Grrrr.

Guppy are you using OPKs? Do you have a regular cycle?

Yes it's certainly exciting! I'm tyring not to get obsessed about it this time around but I just KNOW I'm going to go that way

 

[Guppy051708]

CrossRoads, since im not actually trying to get preggo, im not wasting my time with the OPKs, but i can tell based on CM. My cycles are never the same....they range anywhere from 29-35 days. Ovulation (or at least when i *think* im ovulating) is anywhere from CD 19-24. However, my LP is usually pretty consistant. Normally its 10 days. Sometimes 9. if i have a really good cycle and use the Vit B then i *may* get lucky and have an 11 day LP...but thats unusual. What my cycles are like now is what they were before, and after BCPs, as well as after pregnancy. Blah =/ When we activly try i usually temp...but i dont think DH wants me to do that this time as i get obsessed with it!
