I never did...but we rarely have sex during the first 6 months (I've gotten my period back at 8 months both times), and we always use condoms when we are avoiding pregnancy.

I did on occasion. I was on the minipill but I’d heard enough stories of people getting pregnant on it that I didn’t trust it 100%. In the end I wish I’d just gotten a batch of internet cheapies and just taken one every few weeks to keep myself sane, rather than suddenly not being able to shake the “what if” and having to run to the store.

After DD1, I tested with Wondfos about once a month because we were using condoms or pulling out and I wasn't used to not getting my period (came back at 10 months postpartum). After my first, I was pregnant with #2 (intentionally! haha) at 14 months postpartum.

After DD2, I have only taken one test and it was because my period was late. We want a larger gap between #2 and a potential #3, so we've been much more careful this time (still just using the very official pullout method, but we're more aware of timing and all that). Plus, my period has been more regular since it came back at 11 months PP, so that has helped.

Yes! I keep internet cheapies around! Even though it’d be highly unlikely AND I get hit with bad morning sickness early on so I’m pretty sure I’d know

I've gotten super nauseous pretty quickly after my bfps, so I figure if I'm pregnant (period hasn't returned but we're preventing) soon enough there won't be doubts

I don't think I ever tested before my period came back, but I def re-stocked pregnancy tests after it came back because it was really irregular for a few months. We were using condoms so unlikely but still worrying. I'm still nursing at 18m and just got back on the pill recently, but I prob had about 3 cycles in the past year where my period was late and I tested
