DH and I are hoping to get 2 under 2. We plan on TTC in May. Because of BF though, I'm worried I might not get AF. Were you getting regular AF when you got pregnant with #2? Any advice would be great! TIA
I had 2 periods before I got pregnant that weren't very regular while I was still BF. I would reccommend buying those ovulation predictor tests to see if you are even ovulating and go from there.
I got AF at 4 months pp, then had two periods, then BFP two weeks ago. I have been EBF with pumping when I work (part time) Little one never slept through the night really either. Some say when you stop night feedings you begin to ovulate again, clearly it can be any time! I think the ovulation sticks are a good idea too.

I had my first (and only) pp period at 10 months. I assumed that my cycle would have been regular and that we conceived two weeks after my period, but we had an early ultrasound and according to that, we conceived three weeks after my period, so my cycle would have been 5 weeks (instead of the usual 4 weeks). Hope that makes sense! If you're actually trying to get pregnant, an ovulation predictor kit would be a good idea like a PPer suggested. Or just have lots of sex.
I had 2 pretty regular periods before I got pregnant- DS was 10 months old. My OB said that if I wanted to get pregnant that I should stop EBF. He said the chances were very slim that I would get preg. Surprise!

Ditti to this! I thought with breastfeeding that it would be a while till I we could TTC, but after only two months AF came back. I think Ovulation predictors are a good start. I know MANY women who can't get pregnant till they have finished BFing, so you may be one.
Re: ? for those who were BF when you got preg/TTC #2
got af 10 months pp and got ku 12 months pp
we weren't trying until that 12th month though.

I BF and found out I was pregnant when DD was 8 months. I had some spotting which only lasted 2 days then next month I found out I was pregnant.
