Help, am I fertile?

So I’m TTC #2, but I’m still breastfeeding my first. My period came back in February, but every month so far it’s extremely light. I can mostly get by on panty liners. Could this mean I’m still not fertile yet? I worry that my uterine lining isn’t thick enough for an egg to implant or to support a pregnancy. Is ther...

How soon after your baby turned 1 did you start trying for another or how soon after your baby turns 1 are you planning to try for another baby?

Just curious, ever since I fell pregnant I knew I would want to wait til my baby is close to 2 like 19-21 months old to start trying again. But a lot of my friends are trying for another or have fallen pregnant already now I’m feeling tons of internal pressure and stress.
