But my cycles were very predictable, so I liked temping/charting! It just helped me know when I ovulated, which I liked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165312 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:28:10 +0000 butterbean 1165312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: i'm trying to avoid temping/charting...it seems so complicated :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165224 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:02:26 +0000 Adira 1165224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@butterbean: I haven't tried any ovulation tests! I wasn't sure if it would make sense for me to do that since AF hasn't shown back up yet at all. I was kind of hoping I'd be able to get away with just temping once we TTC, but I figured I needed to wait for AF first... what a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165200 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:44:12 +0000 butterbean 1165200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we'd like to ttc for #2 also...AF reared its head last month but for some reason it decided not to appear this month so i have no idea what is going on with my body...</p> <p>have you tried using the ovulation tests? would those work to help you figure out when to ttc? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165185 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:37:07 +0000 Adira 1165185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I wonder if the same will happy for me... bleh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165184 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:36:59 +0000 chopsuey 1165184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply drops a little before and during each AF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165181 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:36:03 +0000 Smurfette 1165181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Yeah I don't think she showed up till I started weaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165168 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:28:02 +0000 Adira 1165168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: haha, I appreciate that!! You were weaning when AF showed up for you, right? I don't want to wean... but I also DO want to get pregnant! I keep hoping AF will show up without me having to change things up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165162 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:26:16 +0000 Smurfette 1165162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: If I could send my AF to you I totally would, so you could get knocked up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165143 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:16:16 +0000 Adira 1165143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm both jealous and NOT jealous of you ladies who had AF show up for you already! I was thrilled to go without, but now that I'm ready to start TTC, I wish it would show up already!! I'm worried I'm going to have to wean before it comes back and I'm not ready to do that yet!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1165141 Tue, 22 Oct 2013 07:13:02 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1165141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply dips some during AF (for both LOs). I am only six weeks PP, pumping every 2-4 hours around the clock and its already back :( wish I could trade with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1164901 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 23:14:17 +0000 LaineysMom 1164901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope.. AF showed up 8 weeks PP while I was producing 38+ oz. a day.. I've noticed a slight dip every month, but nothing significant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1164747 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 20:55:38 +0000 mrsjyw 1164747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! major dip and monthly it still occurs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1164040 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:28:14 +0000 dojo 1164040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still waiting on the same thing to happen! I had a major dip recently and was expecting it, but my old friend AF has yet to show up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1163998 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:12:26 +0000 Bookish 1163998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine showed up at 8 weeks and hasn't reappeared since (16 weeks now) and yes, I noticed a dip during it. I don't know, however, if caused the gradual decline in output that I've experienced since then, or if that was just a coincidence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-nursingpumping-decrease-before-af-showed-up-postpartum#post-1163977 Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:05:50 +0000 Adira 1163977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 8 months postpartum and am still waiting for AF to show back up. I'm actually getting kind of impatient because Hubs and I (who am I kidding? Just me) are wanting to start TTC for baby #2 soon (a.k.a. 2 months ago). I still nurse or pump 6x/day with no decrease.</p> <p>So... if you were nursing or pumping, did you notice a decrease before AF finally showed up? Or did AF show up while you were nursing/pumping as normal? Is there any hope for me that AF will show up with my output staying as it is? Or will she not show her head until I let my body decrease its milk production? </p>
