So I'm TTC baby #2 and am bf'ing DD, 22months. I feed her twice or three times a day, only more than that if she's ill or something's up. AF started again in Jan and I had what I thought was 6 months of normal cycles - AF every 4.5 weeks. Then I had a 7 week cycle in which I think I was actually pregnant - I felt exactly the same as when I was pregnant with DD in the very very early stages, sudden weird stomach flipping sensation, lightheaded and craving celery 
. But I tested BFN with repeated tests and then at 7 weeks AF. I'm a bit sad thinking that I might have been PG, but also uncertain if I really was or not. I'm now in the next cycle, currently 6 weeks and still no AF, but definitely not PG. So this cycle I suspect perhaps is annovulatory, although I'm not charting so no way of knowing.
Anyway my question is, if I am annovulatory this cycle / some cycles (and I know I should really start temping to help me figure out what's happening), is there any way to encourage ovulation other than stopping BF'ing (which I'm not planning to do). And if not, how do you other mamas in the same situation manage your feelings - I desperately want another baby but not enough that I'm willing to sacrifice BFing (although who knows in six months or so that situation might change). And now I'm starting to get the questions "do you want another one" and I joke that I'm doing my best with a smile...
