If you conceived #2 (or #3...) while BFing

What made you suspect you were PG?  Temp spike? Weird symptoms?  Please share your experience!

Vivid dreams, nausea and smell sensitivity, nipples hurt so very bad. I was about 6 weeks at that point.

Both #2 and #3 were conceived while BFing.

With #2 I wanted juice really bad all of a sudden one day. And I'm not a juice kind of person. I didn't think anything of it until I wanted juice again the next day while I was shopping. So I bought juice and a pregnancy test. I was only 4 weeks pregnant.

With #3 I was constantly hungry for a week straight. I craved vegetables and was peeing constantly.  I was 6 weeks pregnant at the time.

With all three of my pregnancies I've craved healthy foods early on. That's apparently my main symptom!

Hard to say.  I only had 2 periods before my BFP, so obviously they weren't regular yet.  I guess I just started taking tests, assuming that either AF was going to come, or I was going to get a BFP.  I was mentally prepared for either.

Awhile before my BFP though, my husband and I noticed that I had some moodiness and I also felt sick on a few days and we would talk about how I could be pregnant... but that may or may not have had anything to do with actually being pregnant.

My first symptom was extreme fatigue.  However, I didn't think anything of it, just thought it was because I had been extra busy at work.

A few weeks later I was at a family wedding, where my cousin announced her pregnancy.  Her first DD was born a month before mine.  I was shocked for her, her two would be about 18 months apart.

 The next day I was walking though the grocery store and I could smell everything; the strawberries, the peaches, everything.  I picked up a test just to be sure, never imagining it would actually be positive.  I hadn't had a period since before DD was conceived.

 Sure enough..... BFP.... my two will be 17 months apart.

I had 3 periods, and they werent consistent. We decided to not use protection one time and let it happen...SO 2 days before DH left for work on the rig I took a test to be sure (didnt want to tell him on the phone) and it was BFP....I didn have any symptoms yet. With DS I had a ton before I tested.

We were TTC, but we were being very patient knowing that BFing could make TTC difficult.

I had extreme heart burn, just like the first time, so I POAS.

I had nausea and I was totally exhausted. I was about 6 weeks along when I found out.

Lucky me AF appeared at 5 months pp and I was regular and charting :P At 4 weeks pregnant right now I have no symptoms (got my BFP Monday).

We conceived DD2 and this little bean while I was BFing. Both times, though, I'd already gotten AF back.  So I knew to test when AF was late.  I apparently regain my fertility super-quick, even while EBFing ...

Actually, though, this time around I began to worry that I was pg before AF was late.  I wasn't temping but I was keeping track of my cycles, so I knew that I was CD22 (probably about 9 DPO) when I started feeling really bloated.  A week later, I was still bloated, and I started to get really tired.  But I didn't test until CD33 (which was probably about 20 DPO) since AF hadn't exactly been regular.

The twins and this baby was concieved BFing, we even used protection with this baby. I had vivid dreams, very hormonal, I felt sick all the time and sore boobs, I hand an inkling with both and I just jumped the gun. I found out with the twins the first time I tried and, I asked the doctor what she thought with this baby, she had me try at the appointment and then the next morning a whazam, the next morning my morning sickness started and I got my BFP.

We weren't preventing since were hoping that it would happen, but not very optimistic since I still hadn't had my period and I wasn't charting.  I started testing almost every Friday once he turned 8 months old because I like to partake in a bit of wine on the weekends.  When he was 9.5 months, I got my positive test. 

I should have known that something was up.  On Wednesday, I felt like I had been hit with a truck.  I was completely wiped out.  I couldn't work at all (work from home) and wasted an entire day that my MIL was watching him by sleeping.  The next day, I had to sleep during both of his naps.  I tested positive that Friday.  If I had not been testing, I would have known something was up on Saturday when the m/s kicked in.

Missed period.  My period returned at 6mo pp and I got pg on the second cycle.

I was just hit with exhaustion one day so I thought I'd test since I hadn't had AF since my DS was born... yup... PG with #3!!

MsShib

Nausea. I was about 6 weeks when I found out.

I knew I was pregnant even though the first pregnancy test came back negative. I took it too early. But I was suuuuper tired when I found out with my second which was the same thing I went through with my first. Oh and just the thought of alcohol made me almost throw up.

Missed period.  I got my period at 4 1/2 months pp despite nursing around the clock.  I'm still nursing around the clock.
