New Here...BFing - no AF, TTC soon

[goin' green]

Hi there! I'm currently nursing my 9.5 mo old son on demand (co-sleep) and DH and I were hoping to TTC soon. I've read that some of you ladies get pg w/out even getting AF back at all. I'm wondering, other than trying to eliminate the night-nursing (with all the developmental milestones and teething right now - don't want to mess with that) is there anything else we could be doing? Also, I've never charted (DS was a surprise blessing!) and didnt' think I should start until AF returned. Should I start now anyway?

Thanks and sorry for all the questions!

I suggest starting to chart my son is 17 almost 18 months old and I have only had 2 periods and one was doctor induced and the other a natural cycle

I would start charting. But that's just me.

I recently read that it's not "big" things like total nightweaning that can cause a change in the cycle, but it can be one-time events where there was no nursing- like a day or night w/out nursing (I believe the "magic" time is 6 hours)...hence the reason that sometimes a baby sleeping through the night just once brings back a mama's cycles.
