Think I'll have issues TTC or maintaining milk supply?

[mariacm]

Ok, so I'm nursing a 13 month old, have had cycles since about 3 months postpartum, I think O'ing in the last 6+ cycles, cycle length has gotten shorter to a more normal length and LP has gotten longer to a more normal length over the last few months too (though LP is still only 10 days generally). 

[I got preg on the 4th cycle TTC with DS, despite other health issues and probably undiagnosed hypothyroidism (was diag during that preg), had milk supply issues for a couple of months presumably related to the other health issues, but been doing well since.]

I don't want to tandem nurse, but I also don't want to wean yet, and DS still nurses like 6x day, full feedings, despite being on solids and dairy. 

So, do you think that I'll have difficulty TTC or difficulty maintaining my milk supply if/when I do get pregnant?  *Tell me about your experiences, please!*

Bumping... any input/advice, anyone???

I'm curious too as I'm also toying with the idea of TTC now, and I also have a 13-month old nursling (whom I also don't want to wean). For what it's worth though, I wasn't able to conceive until DS1 was fully weaned at 2.5 (self-weaned). I didn't even get a period until then, but I also had an IUD, which I had removed a few months before he fully weaned.

Well, I'm hoping that I'll be able to conceive pretty quickly since I've had cycles for so long now.  But then again, cycles don't = ability to conceive.

I also know nothing about weaning yet!  I'd like to wean DS from his last night feed (he goes to bed at 7.30pm and nurses at 10.30pm, then not again til morning).  Then again, the ped has been watching his weight gain closely lately so taking that feeding away might cause more worries.   *sigh*
