My OB said I had to wean before starting Clomid. I weaned LO1 completely at 18 months and got a BFP the week after I weaned her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418464 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 11:50:07 +0000 sarac 2418464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I took clomid for my first, and it took me 3 years of NTNP to conceive again. Some people get lucky, some don't. My midwife wouldn't prescribe me clomid while I was nursing, she said it wasn't usually effective if you're already less fertile from nursing anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418404 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 11:19:06 +0000 LAZB 2418404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I know, I'm sad that we are going to have to wean, but I'm also really glad that we are going to make it to a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418360 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 10:52:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2418360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't need to go on Clomid but I will need fertility meds to conceive again. I'll have to wean DD first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418349 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 10:45:13 +0000 MrsBrewer 2418349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: ugh! That's what I was afraid of! I really didn't want to have to wean! 😩 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418259 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 10:03:18 +0000 LAZB 2418259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: No, they will not give it to you while nursing, I asked haha. Also, if you only got that one "period" at six weeks, I really doubt it was a period, even if your pp bleeding had stopped for a little bit.<br /> I also used clomid to get pregnant with both of my babies, and plan on taking it again. My DD is 11 months, and I'm weaning at 12 months so we can get on ttc soon. I have really bad endometriosis, so my doctor said she would give me clomid after three cycles of trying once we have weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418244 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:52:37 +0000 MrsBrewer 2418244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: that I'm not sure. It may be both. I never ovulated on my own before getting pregnant with #1, so I just figured this wasn't different, but nursing I'm sure also plays a role in it as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418213 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:40:03 +0000 kiddosc 2418213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a tough one... are you not ovulating now because you're nursing, or because your body never has done it well on it's own. I would probably hold off for a little longer if you want to keep nursing. Some studies have shown that Clomid can reduce milk supply. The package insert says to avoid nursing for 6 hours after taking a dose also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418175 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:28:25 +0000 MrsBrewer 2418175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: LOL! We've always wanted a big family, and our kids close together! Plus my LO is making it very easy to want more babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418169 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:26:50 +0000 dc yoga bee 2418169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Our babies are the same age!! You are a saint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418146 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:15:30 +0000 MrsBrewer 2418146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: I would love that!! We have been NTNP since she's been born! But nothing yet, although I am still nursing her 5-6 times a day still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418136 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:12:55 +0000 Tidybee 2418136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have an answer to your question but I wanted to chime in that I needed Clomid to get pregnant with DD1 after a year of TTC, and then for DD2, I got pregnant every single month that we didn't avoid. Hopefully it'll be as easy for you (minus the losses that I had!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clomid-while-nursing#post-2418120 Tue, 12 Jan 2016 09:06:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 2418120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 7 month old, and DH and I are thinking about #2 soon! </p> <p>To get pregnant with #1 though I needed help from Clomid to ovulate. It worked the first round though! But the question is, I'm still nursing right now, and plan to for as long as possible. Would an OB even prescribe me Clomid while nursing? </p> <p>I've had 1 PP period (I think) at 6 weeks, but nothing more after that. I'm pretty sure it was my period because my PP bleeding stopped at 3 weeks. </p> <p>Just wondering if anyone else was in a similar situation? </p>
