nursing/pumping and return of fertility?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I'm wondering if there are any mama's that nurse and pump because of working full time and if they could share their experiences of ovulation returning?

 

I am really wanting to nurse for 2 years and am concerned of fertility returning/pregnancy too early. 

I did have an IUD until my body expelled it and I am really tempted to not get another.  However, I am not sure that pumping is enough to keep my fertility at bay.

 

I'm also cosleeping and dream nursing throughout the night.

My experience was that I didn't ovulate until I cut down to one pump session a day. BUT I know lots and lots and lots of moms who had different experiences! If you don't want to be pregnant, I don't think you should count on LAM as a foolproof method of contraception! If an IUD doesn't work for you, there are a bunch of other options you might consider, though.
