? For Nursing Mamas who are TTC or have in the past

[roses25]

Hi Everyone,

I'm currently nursing my 17 month old who is still very into nursing and not that into solids (he's offered 3 meals & a couple snacks a day, but chooses to eat very little ....some days it's more like he chooses to eat no solids).

When my son was about 10 months old I thought I had a period. It was very very light (could wear a panty liner all day and be just fine) for 5 days. I've had nothing since then. Any ideas why I'd have a period and then nothing for 7 months? If I were to TTC soon do you think I'd be fertile and be able to carry a baby or is it not likely since I'm not having a regular period?

I've recently starting doing temps because I don't know what else to do. I don't know if I'm fertile or not and it's bugging me to not know.

What do you guys think?

Carolyn

Hi!
I can completely relate to you. My DS is 18 mos and still no PPAF. Unfortunately you do need to have your AF before you are fertile again. Of course unless you catch the first egg Which is what I am trying to do. But it may be difficult to do, since you don't have anything to chart from. When you are fertile, you ovulate, and when you ovulate you get your AF. To help speed up the process of becoming fertile again, you can look into Vitex, B6, Maca powder, Red Raspberry Leaf...just to name a few. If you do sense some cramping, or better yet EWCM, take some OPKs and try to catch that first egg. If not, wait till you get your first true AF and go from there. Good luck!
