    how to tell if im ovulating

    hi all
    I thought this is the best place to post.
    I have a 16month old and still breastfeding but I would like to fall pregnant soonish but am a little unsure if I am even ovulating. My cycle has been all over the place since I gave birth and the past few months have been getting my period for say 5-7 days then i think it stops then it comes back a few days later for another 7 days and this has gone on for a few months... I am seeing a doctor on tuesday to maybe have more hormones checked or whether its down to sleep deprivation/stress im not sure?
    is there an easy way to tell if im ovualting.. with a kit?or too hard with a cycle like mine? thanks for reading!

    You can try taking your temps and charting on FF, also chart mucus.

    You can also try ovulation predictor tests.
    Good luck

    Hi guccibabe,
    A friend of mine was breastfeeding when she was trying to fall pregnant with her 2nd bubba and she bought one of those Maybe Baby saliva tests and also BD'd every day. And feel pregnant again without her period coming back at all.

    What Feeb said

    When my cycle was doing crazy things I took temps, watched mucous and used OPK's to be srure. It was espacially hard when I was getting more than one lot of EWCM in the cycle.
