breastfeeding while TTC?

[kittymarie]

I'm currently breastfeeding but starting to wean. Anyone else breastfeeding while TTC?

It's making my cycles insane. They were actually starting to get back on track the last two cycles. 32 and 33. Now this cycle I am on cd42 without a temp rise. I could have SWORE I ovulated on cd22 and then thought maybe on cd31 but no temp rise whatsoever. I didn't start testing until late as I was on vacation and decided not to focus on it.
anyone else in the same boat as I?

I def dont see ovulation on your chart. More than likely your body is trying to o but the egg hasn't left the gate. BFing can certainly mess things up!

Me! LO is 6 months old, and I had some sort of mini-period for about 7 or 8 days. I figure I'm on around CD 19 (give or take a day). I started opk's around day 11, since I "normally" O around day 14 or 15. Today was the first day I got something even remotely close to a positive. It wasn't quite positive, but it was close enough to make me think maybe in the next day or so. I also have EWCM for the first time in awhile. So I'm kind of hoping!

I know breastfeeding can make us all wacky though, so I'm not holding my breath. Especially since LO is still EBF, at least 7 times a day, although he's been STTN since 2 1/2 months old. We'll see. OH and I want another one sooner than later, since he's a bit older than I am!

Me too, had cycles back for 5 months now but this cycle I really felt like I O'd. It was on day 21 though out of 33 so I guess my LP is still a bit short. I used to have a 25 day cycle and they now range from 32-35 days which feels like an eternity!!
I guess we just have to wait it out. I don't plan on weaning anytime soon, but LO only feeds through the night.

It's so frustrating. I ovulated the last 6 cycles, temps & opk (and body) confirmed. I have no idea why it all of a sudden is doing it this cycle...

I finally got a positive opk today. I also had a wee bit of spotting. I've never had ovulation spotting before. So I'm not sure if I actually am ovulating, or if it's my cycle messing with my head... lol
