Hi, im interested to hear how your cycles returned whilst breastfeeding.<br><br>
I read somewhere in a LLL forum that at first ovulation returns, but with a short luteal phase and then the luteal phase returns to normal.<br><br>
With my first child breastfeeding, i was at the short luteal phase stage, and took progesterone to be on the safe side with the conception of my 2nd child. That was 23months pp. I was ovulating day 17-20, and had a luteal phase of 8 days.<br><br>
Now i am ttc'ing for a third. I am at 24months post partum, and my ovulation date is earlier, 15, then this month was day 13. I have been taking progesterone so i dont know what my true luteal phase is like.<br><br>
That is why i am asking.<br><br><br>
Did anyone here chart their cycles, even if not ttc'ing, and have an idea how it went for them? I would be interested to hear different stories. Did your luteal phase get longer when and if you started to ovulate earlier? Did it remain the same? Did you have to completely give up breastfeeding to get your true cycle back.... ???<br><br>
