in Trying to Get Pregnant
Hi everyone! My name is Katie, I am 30 years old, and live in Colorado. I am married to a wonderful man and have a one and a half year old (born 11/12) daughter who I am currently still nursing. 

Getting pregnant for me the first time around was not easy and after 9 months of trying, getting diagnosed with PCOS, hypothyroidism,  and endometriosis, and finally getting a referral to see a RE we found out at our first appointment that I was already 3 weeks pregnant. The pregnancy with my daughter wasn't the easiest, I dealt with placenta previa, but I delivered her at 38 weeks by mandatory c-section at a very healthy 6lbs even. 

Since having my daughter I have eliminated non-organic food, gluten, corn, soy, and dairy from my diet and am trying very hard to stay on a low starch, low glysemic index diet to help control the PCOS symptoms. After having nursing induced amenorrhea I finally have my cycles back as of 7/8 and my husband and I are ready to start trying for a second child. I look forward to getting to know everyone while we take this hopefully short journey together.

    welcome!  I would suggest charting your basal body temp.  While I was nursing I had regular cycles but was not ovulating.  I had to ween completely before my body would ovulate.  Which is lousy since I was still getting AF every 4-6 weeks.  But unless you chart, you won't know for certain if you are actually ovulating or not.

    Thank you everyone! I am currently temping so we will see if I am actually ovulating or not. My Ob told me at me annual to keep nursing, avoid alcohol, and just have fun unless we go a few cycles without conceiving so that is what the plan is right now. I forgot how stressful ttc is until we started back this month.

    Welcome!
    I'm still nursing my 20 month old but just at night. AF came back a few months ago. This is my first month TTC. I didn't temp because I haven't been getting much sleep but I'm going to start temping next month.

    Good luck!

    Greetings! Our LOs are nearly the same age. It's wonderful that you are still BFing. I weaned at 14 months to provoke the return of ovulation.

    I hope that your second TTC journey is less stressful.
