I was still nursing but he was STTN when I started. My luteal phase was short at first, maybe just 8-9 days or so. Over the next few months it gradually lengthened and I was able to get pregnant again, while still nursing. I didn't try until my LP was maybe like 10-11 days and we conceived on the first try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/luteal-phase-changes-after-pregnancy#post-1207754 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 01:31:06 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1207754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: thank you for sharing. I've heard of people getting pregnant while nursing too. I really hope to maximize my chances so I am thinking of at least trying to day or night wean. We shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/luteal-phase-changes-after-pregnancy#post-1206643 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 07:41:50 +0000 bhbee 1206643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't ttc until after I weaned anyway, but like you I started tracking cycles in advance. I had a lot of shorter lps until I weaned, then things got more normal. I was surprised it made a difference since by the end I was only nursing 1x a day.<br /> I also know people who got pregnant breastfeeding though so maybe nothing to worry about? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/luteal-phase-changes-after-pregnancy#post-1206584 Sun, 10 Nov 2013 02:33:16 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1206584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: thanks for responding! I hope you're right because I really don't want to ween my son until he is ready. I may have to cut back though if there is an issue. We shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/luteal-phase-changes-after-pregnancy#post-1206254 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 19:59:13 +0000 Kemma 1206254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prior to falling pregnant my cycles were similar with ovulation around 20-22 and a 11-13 day luteal phase although I'm still waiting for the return of AF at almost thirteen months pp. It took twelve months to conceive Miss A but two girls I know both fell pregnant their first cycle while still breastfeeding so it does happen! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/luteal-phase-changes-after-pregnancy#post-1206205 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 19:21:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1206205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm gonna bump this for myself. I know there are others on here who TTC when preggo. How were your cycles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/luteal-phase-changes-after-pregnancy#post-1205987 Sat, 09 Nov 2013 13:45:59 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1205987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We plan to start TTC in January but I am starting to chart early so we can plan good timing. Particularly important with a 14 month old around. I have noticed that my cycles have changed. I used to ovulate on day 15 and have a temp spike on 16 then usually have a 12-14 day luteal phase or 29 day cycle. Now I've noticed I am ovulating on day 20 and then have a 10-12 day Luteal phase making my cycles about 31-32 days long. I am still nursing my 14 month old and he nurses quite often though he does eat some solids. Did anyone have a similar experience? Did you have trouble getting pregnant? </p>
