DH was ready for #2 the first month we came home from the hospital.

Then last week, I was spotting and was super bloated so I thought AF was going to show up the next day, but nada. Spotting went away and AF still hasn't appeared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296641 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 16:44:45 +0000 NurseMommy 1296641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MapleMoose: thank you!<br /> @wheres_c: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296619 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 16:11:12 +0000 FaithFertility 1296619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was coming off a CP....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296617 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 16:10:12 +0000 FaithFertility 1296617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: really??????

Looks like 6 months might be the cutoff. The KellyMom article reported this La Leche League info as the source:<br /> <i>Women who experience a return of their periods in the first six months tend to be infertile for a few cycles, while the early cycles of women experiencing a longer period of amenorrhea are often fertile.</i><br /> <a href="http://www.lalecheleague.org/llleaderweb/lv/lvdec98jan99p128.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lalecheleague.org/llleaderweb/lv/lvdec98jan99p128.html</a></p> <p>ETA: Have fun in warm sunny Mexico!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296427 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 11:39:01 +0000 NurseMommy 1296427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: no, I haven't read it; probably will before TTC #2.<br /> @MapleMoose: what is "early"?</p> <p>I just wonder if I should be expecting AF to suddenly appear on our Mexico trip tomorrow, lol. Guess I should bring supplies, since my sister is pregnant and mom is menopausal so they won't be able to help me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296300 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 09:34:20 +0000 Greentea 1296300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My ob said I absolutely will ovulate prior to the appearance of aunt flo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296237 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 07:17:05 +0000 MapleMoose 1296237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can ovulate before your period returns when BF. I am wondering if this happened to me. Haven't had AF return yet but had some noticeable discharge that I would have considered eggwhite if I was TTC. </p> <p>From KellyMom:<br /> <i>Moms whose cycles return early tend to be infertile for the first few cycles. Moms whose cycles return later are more likely to ovulate before their first period.</i><br /> <a href="http://kellymom.com/bf/normal/fertility/" rel="nofollow">http://kellymom.com/bf/normal/fertility/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296225 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 05:14:05 +0000 spaniellove 1296225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you can have AF without ovulating but am not sure it works the other way. Your body could be gearing up to ovulate or having all the signs of ovulation without actually doing it, which is why CM alone isn't a reliable sign that you're ovulating.</p> <p>ETA: I must have misunderstood the question...I thought this was asking whether you could ovulate repeatedly without AF or ovulate and go for an extended time without AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296176 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 23:29:35 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1296176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very well could be. Have you ever read taking charge of your fertility? I'm planning on brushing up on it here soon. We us NFP as our primary fertility guide. Hopefully I can master it after we have these babies so I don't get KU right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulating-without-af#post-1296172 Sat, 21 Dec 2013 23:17:06 +0000 NurseMommy 1296172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know that theoretically this is possible, but I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this? I've never paid attention to my CM prior to giving birth, but I noticed some pretty dramatic changes and was just curious if that may be what's going on. LO is 7 months and we are still bf about six times/day. </p>
