Breastfeeding

Anyone experienced with charting and BF?

We use NFP and this is the first month I'm back to charting. Does it make a difference if you BF before you temp in the morning? Sometimes DH brings DS to our bed when he wakes and I BF him side-lying and then temp. I haven't kept track of exactly which days, but it seems that on these days my temps are much higher than normal. I should have O'd today, maybe tomorrow, but my temps are all over the place and I can't figure out why.

  • I'm so glad you asked this!  We plan to use NFP too once DD arrives.  No advice, since I'll be a newbie at this, but I'm hoping to hear some good responses.

  • I just started temping while BF, but I always take my BBT before getting out of bed to nurse.  I would think that the hormones released while nursing might be altering your BBT, in the same way that temperatures rise post-O due to hormone changes.

  • My temps are way higher when I nurse before temping. This gets tricky because we bedshare so I often begin to nurse when I am half-asleep before I think to temp.
