TTC & breastfeeding

I had my son in August of this year. I am EBF and have not yet had a period since DS was born. Prior to conceiving, I was told I had PCOS. We were able to conceive naturally, without any medical intervention. Other than cervical mucous and checking BBT, are there other ways to track when I am ovulating? I was using an app to track my cycles, but not having AF to guide me is throwing me off. I have read that breastfeeding is not a reliable former of BC once baby is sleeping more than 6 hours at night. Ideally, we would like to wait until January or Feb to try for baby #2.

I also ebf and it took 10 months for AF to return, and that's when I was only nursing bub3 times in 24hr. Some people can get pregnant before AF returns but it is rare.

You heard right, ebf is not a reliable birth control. Also I didn't even get af back for 3 months after I stopped part time breastfeeding but my doc suspected I have PCOS as well! I tracked my cycles with an app, but it was hard to tell if I was ovulating or not and my doc had originally ordered a timed blood test to see if/when I was ovulating. Ironically the month I canceled the test was the month I conceived baby #2 so that answered my question! Lol. Maybe you could make an appointment with your doctor and see if he/she could give you some guidance on that? Best of luck!

If your feeding consistently you probably won't have a period until you cut down feeding. My lo is 10 months old and not had a ppaf. When I was bf my other two I cut down feeds when they were 1 and it brought af back! But definitely get some ovulation tests. I still take them every day. But I know I will have to cut down to regain af. X

Are you using OPK as well which detects a surge in LH ( luteinizing hormone) which precedes ovulation?

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

#mombassadorchat Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips! Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding. I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second son I was determined to breastfeed, and even though he was born 11 weeks early I wasn't going to let that stop us from trying to breastfeed! For 7 weeks I pumped every 2 1/2-3 hours on the dot to establish and maintain my milk supply. When your little one is born early they usually need time to master sucking, swallowing, and breathing so I wasn't able to nurse right away. When my son was 33 weeks gestational (so 4 weeks old) we were finally able to latch on, and he did great! By 36 weeks gestational we had successfully started breastfeeding, and today marks 21 months of actual at-breast breastfeeding for us! I am passionate in trying to help moms-to-be and moms with breastfeeding and/or pumping, but I support moms who choose not to or for other reasons cannot breastfeed. Remember, I mentioned I didn't breastfeed my first son. I understand both sides. Breastfeeding isn't always easy, but I believe it's at least worth trying! Please help me celebrate World Breastfeeding Week by sharing your tips, questions, concerns, product recommendations, or anything else breastfeeding and pumping related!
