I ovulated before my first AF (according to kellymom only 40% of women do), and manged to get KU. I must have ovulated when DD was about 10m old, still BFed 2-3 hourly 24/7. No long stretches of sleep here!]]> Thu, 08 Sep 2011 07:50:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1385310&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1385310 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1385232&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1385232 Author: Kellz

I was the same as a few - I conceived while fully breastfeeding, but had had one AF before getting pregnant. I did ovulate very late that cycle (if you're going by a standard 28-day cycle), but I don't know if that's because I was breastfeeding or just my body being quirky.]]> Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:04:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1385211&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1385211 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1385195&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1385195 Author: sarasal

It took me over 2 years to conceive while breastfeeding, which was about a year after AF returned. However, I did get pg the first month I started charting ... it turned out that because of bf'ing hormones, I was ovulating about 3 days later than normal. ]]> Wed, 07 Sep 2011 18:12:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1385195&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1385195 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384903&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384903 Author: Stoked

I conceived while breastfeeding - bubs was still not sleeping through the night so was eeding every 4 hours ish. I thought I had ovulated and got a very light period shortly afterwards. Fell pregnant the next cycle - somewhere around cd27 we think.

I had three AF's before getting pg again, but DS was nursing anywhere between 12-16 times a day, which included 4-6 times overnight.
We were trying for just one cycle before getting pg this time, and were very relaxed about it, whereas it took almost 6 months of trying including 3 months of OPK's and charting.

Good luck!!!!]]> Tue, 06 Sep 2011 21:17:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384899&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384899 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384866&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384866 Author: T_Rex

I was BF but on the minipill. Got AF back at 11 months and again just after 12 months. Came off the pill with that AF and got UTD that cycle. DD was feeding several times day and night till about 12 months, I think we night weaned her about the same time we got UTD but I think that was coincidence more than cause and effect.]]> Tue, 06 Sep 2011 19:51:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384866&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384866 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384815&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384815 Author: troutpout

I was still breastfeeding, but I did have 1 period. AF came back when jojo was 11 months, and I got pregnant next cycle. I suppose all you can do is regular bd, and hope to catch that first eggie!]]> Tue, 06 Sep 2011 17:12:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384815&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384815 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384645&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384645 Author: Alley-cat

I am currently pregnant with #2 while still breastfeeding DS, AF never returned, and I conceived when DS was about 5 months, we wanted them close together so we thought we would see what happened :)

Didn't come as a complete surprise, my grandmother had 14 months between the 1st & 2nd, and 15 months between 2nd & 3rd, falling pregnant each time while still breastfeeding.

I remember reading somewhere that it is the spacing between feedings that increases the chances of getting pregnant while breastfeeding, the bigger the gap between feeds the higher the chances that your monthly cycle will start up again, DS had been sleeping through the night for a couple of months when I conceived.]]> Tue, 06 Sep 2011 12:09:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384645&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384645 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384518&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384518 Author: Jaune

Great thread! Me too! I've hoped to be pregnant by now but still no AF...
Will watch with interest!]]> Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:18:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384518&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384518 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40411&PID=1384503&title=conceiving-when-breastfeeding#1384503 Author: frankie

I've heard of people conceiving while still breastfeeding and before AF has returned. I'm interested to know how common this is! Who has gotten UTD in this way and how old was your baby at the time of conception?
