If you try now, you could get pregnant right away or maybe not for months until you wean. If you are very serious, I'd probably start the weaning process and see if AF comes back. You might not need to wean completely, but you might find that you have to drop some sessions. However if you don't mind possibly waiting awhile, I'd just continue BFing and see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273826 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 14:06:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2273826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant at 4 months pp while still nursing around the clock. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273822 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 14:02:35 +0000 Rockies11 2273822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started using opks, and I actually didn't ovulate until I had had 3 or 4 periods. I was still EBFing at the time I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273816 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 13:58:00 +0000 skipra 2273816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got my period back after LO1 and got pregnant again when he was 11 months. I was still nursing a lot. I just got it back after LO2 and he is 15 months. You never know when you'll start ovulating again with breastfeeding. Some people will when the baby starts solids or sttn or not until they fully wean. The issue with getting pregnant while still breastfeeding is that the pregnancy can make it very uncomfortable to nurse. Good luck with ttc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273810 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 13:52:14 +0000 LAZB 2273810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jh524: My dd has slept longer than that for months (usually 11 hours between last and first feedings), and no sign of AF! But I do think it's more likely for a lot of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273788 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 13:37:47 +0000 MrsB2012 2273788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to start ttc #2 while nursing #1. I think when I was 8 months pp I cut out 2 nursing sessions a day, I got my cycle back about 2 weeks after that and then got pregnant the next cycle. We are aiming for the same age gap this time as well. #2 is 7 months so I'm going to try and cut out a session or two pretty soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273760 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 13:15:15 +0000 jh524 2273760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I think I read somewhere that if you go 8 hours of no nursing, all night, that mestruation will typically return around then. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273746 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 13:05:32 +0000 californiadreams 2273746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i know several people who got pregnant while nursing, so i would just go ahead and start trying. I regretted weaning for that reason, which I did after the second month of BFN. Especially because it didn't seem to affect my chances or my luteal phase. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273696 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:12:16 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2273696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a BFP the week after I fully weaned LO, but I know lots of women get pregnant while still nursing. Give it a try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273690 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:06:47 +0000 delight 2273690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant while BF at 11 months PP. my DD was nursing 3-4 times a day but I had had my period back for 7 months at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273688 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 12:00:29 +0000 Adira 2273688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to wean down to once a day before I was able to get pregnant again. While I was ovulating prior to that, my LF was too short to sustain a pregnancy while breastfeeding. I hope you have better luck. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273668 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:39:44 +0000 BandDmommy 2273668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: You can definitely get pregnant breastfeeding. However, you need to be ovulating. My guess is once your LO starts solids and you reduce EBF your period will return and you can start TTC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273666 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:36:09 +0000 lilteacherbee 2273666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got pregnant when I was still nursing, but my LO was a little older (right around 12 months). I think I was down to 3-4 pumps/nursing sessions a day when my cycle came back at 11 months. I had that one period and then got pregnant again. I know of several people who got pregnant around 6-9 months pp while still nursing. It's different for everyone but it does happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273661 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:30:08 +0000 LAZB 2273661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I'm in the same boat. My 6.5 month old is still EBF, and I haven't gotten my period back yet. I have personally decided it's more important to me to nurse her for a little longer, and try not to rush it.<br /> I know that some people start their cycles when they just cut down on nursing/pumping sessions, so you could try that if you want to supplement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273659 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:26:48 +0000 KatieBklyn 2273659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can certainly try! Some women start ovulating again when their babies start eating solid food more and thus, nursing less. Some women have to wean entirely to conceive. And some women seem to have no problem getting pregnant while EBF! Give it a whirl and see what happens - if you go through a few months with no luck, you can always re-evaluate then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-want-another#post-2273650 Wed, 26 Aug 2015 11:17:48 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2273650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are ready to start trying for baby #2. Our amazing daughter is 7-months-old. We're still breastfeeding full-time and I've seen no sign of AF or ovulation. I know I'm very naive on the subject, but would I have to stop nursing her in order to start trying? I don't think I'm willing to do that. :( </p>
