Hey moms!

My daughter is 2 months old and my husband and I want to start trying again in a couple months. I am EBF and I don’t have my period yet. I ordered some ovulation tests. What can I do to try and get pregnant again as soon as possible?

My period came back about 4 months postpartum found out I was pregnant again 8 months postpartum. Didn’t really do anything to prevent it from happening just was going with the flow

You can't do anything until your period comes back. Technically you ovulate before a period so I guess you could conceive that first cycle before your period came back but it's unlikely

I was EBF my first and found out I was 3 months pregnant when I was about 6 months postpartum, never had my period in between. I think it’s smart to get an ovulation test also monitoring Cervical mucus could be helpful :)!
Hope it works out

Give your body time to heal. There can be a lot of risks if you try too soon after having a baby. I think the minimum is 6 months but the best time frame is at least 1 year too 18 months before conceiving. That's what doctors say. But you do need to be having your period as well.

URGENT ADVICE PLEASE

I’ve had one child and currently trying for my second. I’ve had sex in the times of my surge/ peak ovulation. I have incredibly sore boobs and spotting when wiping, brownish light pink negative test at the moment 9DPO tomorrow. Spotting happened few days ago when wiping and again today.. could it be implantation? Or period?

When shall I test again? 😭🤦‍♀️

Would you keep testing once you got the positive digital test result..

Hello ladies, just needing advice. I tested positive last night on clear blue digital. It read pregnant. But now I’m thinking should I use the pink dye test strips to make sure the HCG rises like I’ve seen online or will I just drive myself crazy doing that 🤷‍♀️

Sticky situation.

My husband and I are currently planning on becoming strict in the new year and knuckling down to save for a mortgage we are currently renting. But also my daughter is now two and I want to conceive again before there’s too much of an age gap. Also I feel as though it’s very important as we have no family in the UK and I want to my daughter to have a sibling to bond with. I grew up with siblings and cousins and it was absolutely everything to me and I had the best childhood and the best memories , I don’t want my daughter to grow up lonely. But also having another right now might delay buying the house. Also the current rented flat we are living in is too small for two babies so I would feel a bit guilty squashing us all into that so we can still continue to save for house whilst pregnant/ new baby under one. I don’t want too big an age gap with my children I want them to be able to be friends and do stuff together. Also I know not everything has to work out perfect and it will all work itself out in the end but if you were in my position what would you do???
