I'm pregnant with DS2 now so nursing didn't hinder getting pregnant again for me. I don't nurse him overnight though so I don't know if that made a difference?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-while-bfing-1#post-1320065 Sat, 04 Jan 2014 21:38:06 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1320065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my cycles have been odd as well. the B complex seemed to help me O earlier last month but i then got AF on 8DPO which is much shorter than the 10 day LP i have been getting since i had my son. We haven't actually begun TTC yet so i can't say if it will have an effect on us getting KU but i am right there with you wondering how much its messing with my hormones. We are doing a 7 hour afternoon wean this month. Hoping that will help things out. I am also on all the vitamins though i havent tried vitex. Wishing you luck. I hope you can figure it out without having to fully wean before you are ready. I know duration of feedings can be an issue too so maybe you can time them and keep them shorter too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-while-bfing-1#post-1317084 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 10:42:55 +0000 Chastenet 1317084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think you need to completely wean, but should probably night wean. I have read that that goes a long way for bringing full fertility back. DD was weaned down to 2-3 times per day and no more night feedings when we started TTC #2. I continued to nurse 1-2 times per day until just this week at 18w pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-while-bfing-1#post-1315915 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:18:16 +0000 septca 1315915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am wondering the same thing. My pp, BFing cycles have been odd so far (but I am just getting started TTC #2). I am very curious to see what happens when I wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-while-bfing-1#post-1315896 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 22:11:22 +0000 littlek 1315896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No answer.. But I'll bump this thread for you </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-2-while-bfing-1#post-1312248 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:45:47 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 1312248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I have been TTC #2 for about 5 months now. Our son is almost 17 months and before having him my cycles were always regular. Ever since getting AF back my cycles went from very long, to too short. My last few cycles have been about 27-30 days, but I've been O'ing on CD25(ish) and AF has arrvied 3-4 days afterward.<br /> I'm still nursing LO (a few times a day and usually 1-2x overnight). I'm assuming that BFing is one of the big reasons for my luteal phase being so short. I'm still taking prenatals and started taking a B complex this month, but I'm wondering if there's anything else I can do at this point?<br /> Has anyone else out there had to wait until their LO weaned before they were able to conceive #2? DH is starting to really question if I should start weaning for us to have luck with #2.<br /> Thanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-974846 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 09:25:48 +0000 wahine08 974846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: I started with the half tab as well. Definitely see if that works for you! I think I did a half tab for like 2 weeks and then kicked it up. It definitely helps my pregnancy insomnia as well. Those early weeks kept me anxious and awake all night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-974104 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 21:23:34 +0000 LovelyPlum 974104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying tonight, though I'm going to break the unisom in half so I'm not the walking dead tomorrow. So hoping it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-971912 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:22:06 +0000 wahine08 971912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just an update on this - I tried to skip my Friday night dose and totally ruined my Saturday! It wasn't as terrible as my initial M/S but I definitely wasn't as comfortable and felt totally gross :sad: </p> <p>When I took my Saturday dose (I take it before bed) the next day I was so groggy. I took 2 naps! Going to have to try again in a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880674 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:49:12 +0000 Ash 880674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wahine08: I ran out and sent DH to the store the next day and he bought the economy box... bahahaha! I never thought I'd make it through box #1, let alone break into an economy sized box!! I hope yours doesn't last as long as mine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880661 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:44:25 +0000 wahine08 880661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: AH! My nightmare! Looks like I'll be buying my second box of Unisom! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880436 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:19:59 +0000 Ash 880436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wahine08: yep! I've tried twice and threw up the next day both times... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880432 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:17:44 +0000 wahine08 880432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Have you tried not taking it one day or another to see how it affects you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880381 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 15:01:18 +0000 Ash 880381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still taking it at 18w2d. Hoping to get off of it soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880335 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:48:19 +0000 MamaMoose 880335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always took it right before I got in bed so I was never awake long enough to feel any side effects. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880318 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:43:38 +0000 wahine08 880318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: I find that when I take it at night after dinner, I get a huge wave of nausea and then wake up feeling better. Did this happen for you? Wondering if it's just my sensitive stomach trying to break down the medicine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880309 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:39:57 +0000 MamaMoose 880309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took it until 18 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/unisom-b6-how-long-did-you-take-it#post-880305 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 14:38:57 +0000 wahine08 880305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello Ladies,</p> <p>I've been taking the Unisom + B6 for weeks now and I haven't stopped once. I started with the half tab of unisom + 50mg B6 once a day. Now I'm at 1 whole tab + 50mg B6. </p> <p>I had one good week without nausea, but I still took it. I've read that if you skip a dose, the harsh MS comes back with a vengeance and takes a few days to go away again.</p> <p>When did you stop or wean off of the combo? I'm feeling okay again at 11wks but I'm nervous it'll hit me like a ton of bricks again! </p>
