How I conceived while breastfeeding
Just got my positive today ! & wanted to share with you ladies what worked for me. I’m breastfeeding my 13 mo daughter. When she turned 12 months I stopped pumping at work & only breastfed during the day on weekends because let’s be real she wasn’t about to not nurse if I was there. I started taking geritol (liquid iron & vitamin b supplement) + 400 mg of folic acid & fish oil. . (They say there is a baby at the end of every bottle) and I believe it because I conceived my daughter after taking geritol for 2 months and the last dose was the day I found out I was pregnant with her.
I nurse when I get home.. during bedtime & once or twice when she wakes up during the night. (I really feel like the dramatic change of not nursing during the day helped my chances)!!
It brought my ovulation to day 16 in comparison to the last 4 months where I got a positive OPK on days 18..20.. or 21 and had short luteal phase like 6-8 days.
This was also my first month taking my basal body temperature which I do recommend because with nursing we don’t know if we are actually ovulating even when we get a positive OPK. So that is how I was able to determine that I actually ovulated this month.
Also.. I baby danced 3 & 4 days before ovulation (not by choice, I thought I had ovulated) so there is a chance ladies ! Keep hope alive & baby dust to all of you ♥️
