If you got pregnant whilst breastfeeding...

    SO glad you asked this, and so happy to see everyone's answers. LO is currently 18mo and I got AF back right around when he turned 1. My first couple of cycles were very long, but ever since then I've had regular length cycles (~30days) but with LP's of only 3-4 days max - which is obviously not long enough to sustain a pregnancy
    LO still nurses 3-4x's during the day and at least once at night. I've tried to cut him back, but it's literally like pulling teeth and I'm just still not completely on board with cutting him off in order to fulfill my need for another baby (at least not today...ask me tomorrow and the answer might be different haha).
    I wish I was one of those people who could get pregnant while still BF'ing, but right now it's not looking good...

    @Keppa: I so so so feel you. That's how I feel too. I actually had a mini freak out earlier because for a minute t seemed like the lemon juice on my nipples worked too well and he had fully weaned before I was ready. He just dd a dream feed though so I am happy again. It made me realize that as much as I want a sibling for him I am not quite ready to go cold turkey either. Or at least not until I know more that that's what that will mean. Gonna say a little prayer that you and I are both pregnant and still nursing ASAP or by the end of the year the latest.
