TTC whilst breastfeeding


Me and DH have decided we want to start ttc asap for no.3 as I have decided I am ready to get my child rearing days behind me and get my life back to normality and if we're gonna have 3 like we always wanted then it's going to be soon.

The only thing standing in our way now is the fact that I'm breastfeeding our 8 week old DD. We want to start ttc when she is around 6 months hopefully, but this all depends on my AF returning and regulating again.

Has anyone here got PG when breastfeeding or have any tips on how to increase my chances? I have no plans set for when I want to stop feeding her and think that will just come naturally. I definately do not want to stop just for me to get PG. I've read that decreasing feeds can help, but not sure if it will help or if I just have to wait for AF to return naturally.

Any advice would be appreciated x

I cant help personally unfortunately but there will be someone along who can I'm sure!

I know there are some BFing mums on here who have conceived though!

I got pregnant while BF but Kaya was 12 months and I'd been getting my period for the last 4 months. All you can really do is keep an eye out for your fertility returning - that may not happen until your LO is at least 6 months.

ME

....but not intentionally

Toby was 5months old and I was exclusively breastfeeding him, my periods had returned however straight after birth and I had planned on getting the coil fitted but put it off till after we got back from a wedding in Italy. Oops too late

We'd always planned for 4 children so we were pleased but a little shocked
