Q: TTC while nursing
asked by: dantesmommy on September 21st, 2008

Hey there! Right now my husband (Thomas) and I are TTC baby #2. We have a 9 1/2 month old son that I'm still nursing. Has anyone ever got pregnant while nursing? Any advice? This is only our 3rd month of trying, but I was hoping to get pregnant before the end of the year.

Thanks!! g2r

Do you have your period back yet? Is it regular? If so, this is a great sign that you're ovulating again.

I ttc'd for almost a year while breastfeeding Alyvia. It took that long to conceive because I would go months between periods (and ovulation). When my test turned positive it was a shock, because I wasn't honestly expecting it to happen until after I weaned her. She was finally weaned when I was around 8 weeks pregnant (I think - my memory is complete crap).

Awesome! You should be ovulating regularly then! All that's left is getting the timing right. It doesn't seem like nursing should affect your fertility Very Happy

Are you temping/charting? That could help narrow down your fertile days and speed things along a bit.

No I'm not tempting or charting right now. I might try that next month if I don't fall pregnant this month. We're just bd'ing every other day, so we'll see.

I was never able to get a handle on temping, personally. I'd put the thermometer on my nightstand so I could take my temp as soon as I'd wake up, but then Alyvia would find it and go running off with it every day so I couldn't leave it there. And if I left it in the bathroom, it'd be noon before I'd remember "oh yeah, I was supposed to temp this morning!" and then it'd be too late.

Good luck! I hope it happens for you soon.
