New Here--Am I in the right place?

[marysell]

Hi All,

My name is Mary, and I am hoping to get some of your perspectives about returning fertility while bfing.  DD is 13 mo, and she still nurses at least 4-5 times during the day and at least 3 times during the night (we co-sleep).  I thought that my cycle had returned b/c I had a light AF mid-December but nothing since.  Took a HPT yesterday and I'm definitely not preggo. 

SO....Does anyone have any thoughts/ideas/personal experiences that might provide me some insight on what's happening with my fertility?  Ideally, I would get pregnant this Spring.  I do not want to wean and would love to be able to nurse t/o my pregnancy and on to tandem nursing, so if there are some ways to increase my fertility without weaning, I would love to hear about them! 

Thanks for your help and time!!

I know it is tougher getting prego while BF. I BF'd for 20 months and never had AF. I really don't have any support to offer other than something you don't want to do. But this is a good place to get information and if you give it a couple of days I know you will get some good support. I think there is a thread just for women TTC while BFing. Good luck on your journey and welcome to our family.
