Day 17 of cycle
I am on my 5th period postpartum (I’m 18 months postpartum). My periods are an average of 27-28 days. I noticed egg white discharge a little later this month, maybe days 15-16? I did drop a mid day pump session recently too.
My husband and I had sex and he pulled out which we I know isn’t 100% but has worked for us for 10 years. I try not to have sex around ovulation for this reason and I thought day 17 would be safe. However, now realizing I may have ovulated later?
Anyone experience this and get pregnant or were ok?
Thanks!

Hey girl, there’s a good chance you ovulated late, and noticing the egg white discharge can mean you’re ovulating then, or could mean you’re about to ovulate - if you noticed it day 15/16 then there’s a good chance you were ovulating day 17/18.
Periods postpartum are CRAZY and nothing is reliable. Especially if you’ve only had 5 - your hormones are still readjusting! And they will continue adjusting until you stop breastfeeding.
Pulling out like you said isn’t 100%, especially because pre-cum and other early fluids have semen in them. That being said, if it’s been working for you guys then you might be okay.
If you are pregnant I believe everything happens for a reason and your babies will be best friends. If you’re not, maybe start tracking your ovulation? I use the PreMom app and it’s been good!

Trying for baby number 2
When we decided to try for baby number 1, I was already pregnant. We have now decided to try for baby number 2 and I just wanted peoples advice on what worked and if they took anything to help conceive. I have irregular periods so I’m a bit more anxious.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
After BP checks came back higher than normal, I was sent to maternity triage for further checks. My bloods came back fine except ALT which was at 35. Normal range is 0-34.
Has anyone had experience of this and what does it mean?
I have two further BP appointments booked for Saturday and next Monday. I’ll be 29 weeks tomorrow.
