Anyone breastfeeding and TTC? Or bf and pregnant??

Question

MY daughter is 20 months old and my husband and I are TTC. My cycles are very long after having my daughter. They are between 37-42 days long. When we tried to get pregnant the first time it happened the first time we used opk's. Well, this time around we are having a bit more trouble. Is anyone else breastfeeding and TTC? Or pregnant and and breastfeeding? I'm wondering if nursing my daughter is somehow interfering with me getting pregnant.

Answer

Yes breast feeding can reduce your chances. It's down to your body trying to 'help you' because everytime your little one latches on, it tells your body "I've got my hands full already I don't need another baby" there's a lot of studies showing ways that can help get around it without giving up feeding your little one though :-) good luck!
