TTC #2 when DD is 10 month old, Help!

JeneeepooJeneeepoo
in Two Under 2

Hello!

DH and I have a 8 month old daughter and would like to start TTC #2 in about 2 months. 

Before I had DD, my periods were extremely regular with 28 day cycles. My periods seem regular again, but now there I have 34 day cycles. 

Anyone have trouble (or success) TTC #2 with such long gaps between periods after giving birth less then a year before?  

Because of our jobs, it would be great to conceive in a 3 month window, which will give us maximum maternity leave time, so just wondering about anyones experiences.

Thanks!

    I had the same kind of change in my cycles after af came back. I weaned DD and only had 2 periods before I got preg. with #2 (DD was 9months old).

    My periods were very irregular after I weaned DS from BFing in late March.  We threw caution to the wind at that time and were unsuccessful in March, April, and May. 

    In mid May I started charting and found my cycle was running 45-50 days long.  I was able to pinpoint when I ovulated, and in my 2nd cycle of charting we achieved a BFP!  If you haven't picked up Taking Charge of Your Fertility, I would highly recommend reading that book and charting on Fertilityfriend.com.  Good Luck!

    I really liked the Answer ovulation kit with DD#1.  I actually got preg with DD#2 when I shouldn't have been ovulating so we weren't trying yet when I got my second BFP.  I say get an ovulation kit to increase your odds.

    My periods have always been long and irregular. With both DD's, I charted to determine ovulation and it worked great for me. Conceived DD1 second cycle and DD2 with just one try.

    I had really long cycles before I conceived DS. I would get my period every 45-50 days. It took 2 cycles to conceive my DS.

    This pregnancy was a product of using the pullout method one time during the time I would have been fertile. It was the first month we did not use a condom. I also had a 50 day cycle this time as well.

    Good luck, hope you are able to get pregnant in the timeframe you hope.

    TTC #2 now. I am a teacher s I would like to get pregnant in the next three months. I bought the CB Fertility monitor.... Just used it for one cycle and in 10 days we will see if it worked. I was very regular before DD. Now that I started weaning I have only had 2 AF but  started to use it and found out I was ovulating on day 17 and cycles are 32 days now. good luck

    I was still EBF when I got pregnant in April and miscarried. I was STILL EBF when we got pregnant in June, we're now 8 weeks pregnant with this one and I only had one AF since giving birth to our DD a yr ago.
