Two Under 2

When did you start TTGP again?

Hi Ladies, my DH and I would (ideally) like kids around 2 years apart. Obviously, we can't plan it per se, but I was wondering from your experiences, when did you start trying again, and if you were breastfeeding did you have any problems with ovulation returning? TIA
Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!

Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN

Re: When did you start TTGP again?

  • I didn't ovulate until a month after fully weaning both kids... Got pregnant with number 2 after only one cycle, got pregnant with number three on the third cycle.

  • I got my first PP AF 5 days after my last nursing session and we were lucky enough to get pregnant that first cycle.  Because of my IF history, I choose to stop BFing at 8 months in order to TTC#2.

  • I got my first pp af when dd was 3.5 months old despite following lam guidelines. We decided to see what happened, and we got pregnant right away. Breastfeeding lengthened my cycle, but it didn't stop. I know that I'm the exception to the rule though.

  • I hated the mini pill so I stopped taking it at 4 months, I was loosely charting. We became more serious about wanting another so I really started charting at 7 months we got pregnant at 9 months PP. my boys are 18 months apart.

  • I got PPAF about 2 months after having my son. I have just started doing OPK's to see if I am even ovulating, and have yet to see a positive, but this is my first cycle of testing, and based on my LMP, it's a little early to start testing, but I am tes

    My cycle returned 11 months PP and I was/am still breastfeeding. We knew we wanted another in the near future so we were neither "trying" nor preventing. I got pregnant after my second cycle. Our kids will be 21.5 months apart.
  • Didn't.  I just got pregnant while BFing and doing pull n pray, when DD was 6.5 months old.  The only periods I had were when I went on the mini pill, and then again when I went off of it at 4 ish months.
  • DD turned one and then that cycle I got pregnant.  Not planned really, but not prevented.

  • I got my first PP AF when our first was around 10 months. I was EBF at the time. We started trying the following cycle because it had taken over a year the first time and got pregnant on the next cycle. I was charting.
