pp here. I was ovulating just fine (timing by using lutal strips and CM fluid). Just not getting pregnant.

Nope. I got pregnant at 4 months pp while ebf.

Also never got a period until I fully weaned (at 12.5 months and at 14 months). I did not get pg with DC#2 until nine months after I weaned, but I know I was ovulating during that time (was charting).

I was pretty surprised, since my mom got pregnant with me while EBF'ing my sister (5 months old at the time) and before her period ever returned. She didn't figure out that she was pregnant with me until she was about 4 months along, when her milk supply started getting really low.

Anyway, I thought that tight spacing would be great for my own kids. . . turns out I'm REALLY thankful that they are 2.5 years apart!

With my first I got my period 8 months pp. I couldn't get pregnant until I fully weaned at 18 months pp. with my second, I got my my period 7 months pp. got pregnant at 10 months pp while still exclusively bf.

Got pregnant without ever getting my period back. #1 was 16 months old and we were still nursing a couple times a day. Was actively trying for 2 months before we got pregnant. Tried to make sure we were spacing out nursing sessions and tried to eliminate any nursing overnight (#1 was not a good sleeper and would wake up and want to nurse occasionally). Also tried taking Vitex - an herb that supposedly helps regulate your cycle. And tried fertility tea to help get my cycle back. No idea if these actually helped, but am due in 2 months.

Yeah, thanks. I suffered through a year+ of infertility the first go-round so I am really familiar with my body. Which is exactly why I know something isn't right, even though I am getting periods. Completely weaning seems to be the best option for me right now (as I am sure that is the first thing my doctor will tell me to do).

I got pregnant while I was nursing...two times. But I was down to just once or twice a day.

DC is 25 months, still BF and no period. Did anybody conceive before period returned?

I got pregnant nursing 1x a day.

Not me, but a friend of mine did get pregnant while nursing (not on purpose).

Yes for me. Did not get my period back until two months after I weaned DD. Cycles were irregular for three months and then evened out. Go pregnant two cycles after that.
