More fertile after breastfeeding stops?

E.J.F.

I nursed my first until 3 years old and we stopped in November. My husband and I have been ttc since July.

A friend of mind (who is a L&D nurse and studying to be a midwife) is convinced I’ll conceive soon now that I’m done breastfeeding. I’m SO hoping she’s right!

I know breastfeeding can interfere with ovulation and hormone production but I guess I figured since we weren’t nursing frequently (and since it’s been YEARS) that I’d be “back to normal.”

Anyone get pregnant quickly after you stopped breastfeeding?
