@MsBAM: I wasn’t able to nurse but we also conceived LO1 quickly. I was expecting LO2 to also happen quickly but it took a while! I hope it happens soon for you!

Sadly I think there is no real answer to this since some people are very affected by nursing and some are not. Just because you’re ovulating doesn’t mean your cycles are conducive to conception (and I’ve also read of people on here who thought they had early losses possibly related to still nursing ... like your body’s just not fully on board). Like mentioned above it’s also not that uncommon for the second to take longer, we had a longer wait each time. If you’re worried about getting pregnant ASAP then yes I would work on weaning, in case it makes a difference. If nursing is a bigger priority and you can be flexible on timing then maybe wait and see.

I also agree that night nursing makes a big difference. My first STTN at 10w and AF showed up when she started solids. My second STTN at 13m and no AF until right around his bday. But it’s still kind of mysterious because this baby STTN around 7m and now she’s almost 10m and no AF. Maybe age difference, maybe chance, who knows.

Now i didn't nurse due to meds I have to take but my friend did and got pregnant easily but her supply dipped a ton. Her period came back regularly despite breastfeeding. But I know some ladies who it did effect ovulation/ progesterone stuff. This lady had to stop and wean but is now 15 weeks pregnant. I think every lady is different.

@MsBAM: temp after your longest stretch of sleep. Some women's temp is effected by time of day more than amount of sleep and vice versa. You might have to experiment some to see which effects it more.
