My LO is 4 months old and I stopped BFing completely a couple of months ago. Right when I started weaning LO and incorporating formula, my period came back. That was in mid-June...and then it disappeared. No period for July, August, or (so far) September. As the thread title says, my DH and I want to start TTC again because we're hoping to not have much of an age gap between our kids. I had been hoping to have it happen soon because my DH and mom have a much less busy schedule and more time to help out during the summer, and I guess I kind of took for granted that last time I got pregnant on the first try and got to pretty much pick the time of year I ended up giving birth. But now my period is gone and I'm showing no signs of ovulation, and I'm not sure if I just need to be patient and it's normal that my period is taking awhile to really return, if I should be concerned, or if there's anything I can do to help my body start ovulating again.

I did buy some ovulation tests that I've been using for about a week, but as I expected so far the results are all negative.
