On a diff subject..have you tried weaning yet? My DD is 21 months old too and has zero interest in weaning. She freaks out if I tell her no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1770376 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 20:00:03 +0000 Kemma 1770376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: my LO was (is!) still nursing a tonne and my cycles came back at fifteen months pp following a week of longer stretches of night sleep. My LO is now 21 months old and still nursing 5-6 times a day (incl overnight) and I just got a BFP yesterday.</p> <p>@BlessedMama: congrats!!</p> <p>ETA - It took twelve months to get our first BFP, only two to get this one </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1770368 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 19:56:42 +0000 cmomma17 1770368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlessedMama: first of all, congrats!! :)</p> <p>To add to the thread ....<br /> I got pregnant while still breastfeeding my 14 month old twice a day, morning and night. Sometimes more than twice a day if he asked (mostly weekends). TTC #2 was actually way faster than TTC #1! #1 took 9 cycles, #2 took 1! For the record I had my period back (but not totally regular) since 6 months postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1770347 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 19:35:48 +0000 MoonMoon 1770347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlessedMama: congratulations!!</p> <p>This thread is interesting to me, because if I want a second baby, I have to act sooner than later, but my 13 month old still nurses...a lot, and I can't imagine weaning at this point. I wonder when my cycle is coming back, if ever, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1770270 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:23:54 +0000 BlessedMama 1770270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsB2012: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1769585 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 22:30:48 +0000 MrsB2012 1769585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlessedMama: yay! congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1769305 Sat, 19 Jul 2014 16:32:33 +0000 BlessedMama 1769305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for all the responses ladies!

It took 9 months but #1 took a year.</p> <p>My period came back 9m pp and our bfp was when LO was 19m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1747817 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 12:35:33 +0000 BlessedMama 1747817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets @MamaCate: Thanks! That sounds pretty similar to me. We nurse typically only at night and some mornings and my period came back around 4-5 months too. My DD is 22 months. Fingers crossed!</p> <p> @Bao @Ree723 @mrskc @Pumuckl @LemonLong: Thanks, Ladies! It's nice to hear stories like that to keep me from getting discouraged. I am in the TWW now so we will see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742419 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 08:15:42 +0000 LemonLong 1742419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nursing my 12 month old once a day, and had maybe 1 period before getting pregnant again using NTNP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742336 Mon, 07 Jul 2014 06:53:05 +0000 Pumuckl 1742336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was still nursing LO (12/13m) twice a day when I got pregnant the first cycle NTNP with #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742217 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 22:53:35 +0000 mrskc 1742217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was co bedding and he was nursing throughout the night and I was pumping twice a day at work. I got my first period at 12 months pp and got pregnant right away. Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742210 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 22:42:47 +0000 lemondrop 1742210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None of the options really fit me- we started trying at 10 months pp, and it took 9 months (#1 took 11). I was carrying around extra padding, and while I didn't wean entirely, we were at 1-2 feedings a day and well on our way to that. Once I lost some of the extra baby weight, I got pregnant within a month. I kept up with the weaning plan once pregnant because nursing was super uncomfortable after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742176 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 21:26:41 +0000 MrsB2012 1742176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was breastfeeding about 7? times a day up until B was 8 months old. At that point I wanted to try and get my cycle back so we could start trying for #2. I cut down to 3 feeds a day and got my cycle back within about 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure if it was related or not. I got pregnant on my second cycle of ttc, which was the same as with #1. I thought it was going to take longer as my LP with my first PP cycle was only 8 days. I was very surprised to be pregnant the next cycle. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742173 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 21:20:28 +0000 Bao 1742173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was still nursing several times a day and got pregnant within 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742152 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 20:58:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1742152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a cp our first cycle ntnp while still nursing. We got a sticky bfp two weeks after i fully weaned. It was month four ttc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742140 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 20:33:56 +0000 skipra 1742140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had some very light spotting when DS was almost 11 months which I guess was my first period. I suspected that I ovulated a couple weeks later so we tried and it worked. I was still only breastfeeding (no formula or cow milk) and had not cut back at all.</p> <p>Eta - I voted that it was same as first time but we were ntnp for several months first time around before a cp and then got pregnant with DS on the second cycle actually trying. So if anything it was easier second time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1742116 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 19:54:39 +0000 immabeetoo 1742116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were trying since January and LO was only nursing 2x, then 1x a day. The month after he dropped it completely, we immediately got a :bfp: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741903 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 15:23:42 +0000 matador84 1741903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't trying to get pregnant, but got my BFP when LO was 10 months old-I was about 4 weeks pregnant. I was still nursing in morning and night, no period had returned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741858 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 14:00:00 +0000 Adira 1741858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got my cycle back and was nursing full time, I had a really long cycle and a really short LP. I started weaning Xander anyway because I wanted to stop pumping, and I was able to get pregnant when I was nursing just once a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741848 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 13:51:10 +0000 Ree723 1741848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was still BF'ing my DD five to six times per day when I got pregnant with#2, DD was 10.5 months old at the time. I'd only had my cycle back for one month and wasn't paying attention to it as we were NTNP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741841 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 13:41:14 +0000 Corduroy 1741841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to start cut back on nursing sessions in order to stand having sex. We pulled the goalie two months ago and continued to cut down sessions. We totally weaned on Friday to eliminate any possible issue related to that and TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741837 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 13:39:30 +0000 Radish 1741837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but I was unsuccessful the first 2 months when I had not fully weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741824 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 13:26:41 +0000 MamaCate 1741824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got KU on our first cycle TTC#2 while still nursing am/pm only. That ended in a m/c, unfortunately, but I don't think it had anything to do with nursing. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741805 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 13:16:55 +0000 Mrsjets 1741805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was nursing once in the AM and once in the PM when I got my BFP with #2 (DS was 12 months). I had tracked my period since it's return at 5 months PP (boo!) and was pretty sure of my O dates. It only took 1 cycle of trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/conceiving-while-bf-successes#post-1741803 Sun, 06 Jul 2014 13:14:49 +0000 BlessedMama 1741803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: thanks!</p> <p>@Cupcake: thanks for sharing! We got pregnant our first time trying with #1 and I got my period back around the same time as you, 4-5 months pp, hoping we have success </p>
