Six months was earlier than I could ever see myself going for it again but should be manageable. I think you'll get some votes not to do it because it sort of reads like you're going to stop bf for that purpose, although it also sounds like you're going to stop just around six months anyway(?) ...either of which is fine by me but you may want to clarify...

I voted go for it. If you still feel up to it by then then you probably won't change your mind. But things may get more normal then and you might end up wanting to enjoy that too. Either way it's not like you're going to start right now.

You could always just NTNP and see what happens! DH and I sorta did this (we were careless about birth control after having DS) and we ended up getting a BFP at 4 months postpartum. I never would have thought it would happen that soon, but it did, and we're really excited to have two LO's so close in age.

I wish I'd managed it before my baby became a toddler. Now I'm way skinnier and fitter and that's hard to want to give up. If have rather just had my babies and then done the self improvement.

I would say go for it except that I think you should consider giving your body time to replenish itself of all the things that are at a low level following pregnancy and breast feeding. There's a reason docs say to wait 18-24 months. Doubt you will be able to hold out that long but maybe just a tad longer than 6 months?
