TTC While Nursing in Jan - Page 5

Congratulations to you both 100%Mom & AngelKissedKids !

[ladyelms]

congrats 100%mom and AKK! I love seeing big pink lines on FRER's. not sure what it is about those tests in particular, but they make me happy.

afm, I O'ed on cd13 (as opposed to 11/12 last cycle) and am a few days out now in the tww. dh and i dtd 5 days prior to O which is exactly the way we did things to conceive my now 2yo daughter. i'm curious to see if it was just a fluke, or if we're really that fertile. i was nursing my then 18mo when she was conceived, so we'll see!

Congrats to the BFP's! Yeah for new babies!

I am on CD 43, with BFN's. I don't know what is going on with my body. This is my first cycle. Has anyone experienced something like this?

[canadaap]

I took another test yesterday, and that was it! You can move me to success! Bfp on cd 43 on first pp cycle! :-D

[TenzinsMama]

Congrats, canadaap!

AFM, AF showed up today. 10 day luteal phase-- is that enough to get pregnant, btw?

[erigeron]

I got pg w/ dd with a 10 day LP. tcoyf says that is the minimum 'normal' length. nak.

[RosieL]

Woohoo canadaap!!! Congratulations! You give me hope of catching that first or second egg. :)

AFM - I'm sick again, hopefully once I am feeling better I am going to start some supplements multi, iron, probiotics, FCLO, b6 and c

I'm also making my room completly dark, I nned to figure out how to kill the light on our vaporizer. lol Drinking more water, walking daily and maybe a bach flower remedy for my stress.  I also want to order nettle, RRL and red clover, to start.

[TenzinsMama]

Thanks, erigeron, that gives me hope!  I know from last time, my lp just kept getting longer as I kept getting additional cycles... maybe this month I'll see that happening and I will have more than than a 10-day one.

stretch, that sucks that you are sick again!  Hope it doesn't last too long. For the nettle and red clover, will it be a tea?

Congrats, Canadaap!!!

I plan on making an infusion, which is a little stronger than a tea.

Can I join? I'm waiting to O. My nursing is 14 months. The red hag returned when my LO was 6 mos old, and the last 5 cycles have been very regular with the exception of a luteal phase that kinda starts to fizzle before it should. New for this cycle: I've got a prescription for progesterone and an OPK. Bring on the O!

Uggg, AF showed on Friday morning, and I had only a 7 day LP, a day shorter than last month.  I can go back on the waiting to O list.  The good news is my cycle was normal length this month at 25 days, I just Oed 3-4 days too late and had an lp 3-4 days too short, but this is an improvement.  After DS1 it took 4 pp cycles to get back to my 25 days, and this was only my second cycle.  Hopefully this coming month I'll O on time and have a LP of 10 days.  The logistical timing of gettng pregnant this coming month would be the most perfect for us for the whole year, so I'm realy hoping. 

How much B6 is the dose that is supposed to help lengthen LPs?

[100%mom]

I took 100mg of b6. That's just what was in the bottlei had bought. I don't know the proper amount is supposed to be.

Welcome momaBlue

We are slowly getting better the only one still feeling crappy is DH.  I'm just hoping it does not circle back round to DS.  We have been cycling through different illness since just before Christmas.  The latest round has been stomach related so it has been hard to get good food and supplements in to keep us healthy.  I'm starting to look sickly, I'm 5'10" and I'm down to 128lbs, which is unhealthy for me 135-140 is where I feel healthy.  Under 130 I get sick a lot.  I have been having trouble with keeping weight on since having my son. This last round of illness has made it worse.  I don't foresee af returning until I gain at least 5 lbs from where I am now.  I was an athlete in HS and she was very infrequent until I went to college quit organized sports and gained 5 lbs.

[TenzinsMama]

I take 100 mg of B6.

Glad to hear you are feeling better, Stretch, I hope you get healthy and stay that way. That sounds rough!

[Fern5Fern]

I picked up B6 yesterday and hope it will increase my chances this coming cycle.  Does it help you ovulate at a more normal time or just lengthen your cycle? 

Stretch I hope you feel better, we had a terrible winter with stomach bugs last year, no fun at all. 

I was pretty excited my AF only lasted 4 days, last months was short for me too.  I still had two very heavy days of bleeding, but my other pp AF's have all been 6-7 days, and with a 25 day cycle that is a lot of bleeding.  I've been eating better so perhaps my cycle is responding to better nutrition.  Now its time to hunker down and wait to O.

Tenzinsmomma- my lp while nursing isn't ever longer than 10 days and I've gotten pregnant twice with that. In fact, between my DS1 and getting pregnant with DD I think my longest LP was only 9 days. Pre kids I think it was a day or two longer.

[Serenyd]

Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. My 39 month old DD still nurses about twice a day, when she wakes up and at naptime. This is my first time TTC, my other 3 just kind of happened magically. I have to say I think that way is more fun!  I'm in my TWW, about 10 dpo and waiting until Friday to test! FX! 

Babydust to everyone! 

[ladyelms]

my cycle seems to be clockwork this month--nice 13 day follicular phase, so while i hate to get my hopes up, up they are. i'm 7dpo and plan to test thursday or friday; that's when i got a bfp w/ last dd (10dpo). serenyd, we can be testing buddies. :) this is my 2nd cycle trying, btw. ds#2, 16 years ago, was conceived on the first try. all others were wanted oopses! anyone else planning to test this week?
