Hi Kellee,

I fell pg while exclusively BFing my 5mth old DD every 4hrs still. I'm not exactly sure when I started to ovulate... I did bleed very lightly for a day or two when she was 2mths old but was told at the time it was b/c I went too hard at the gym. I now think it could've been things starting to back to normal though. I did bleed very lighly for a couple of days another 1 or 2 times before I had an 'official' AF and then I fell pg the month after. Maybe your bleeds were like my early ones..?

If you get you're AF while BFing there's nothing to stop you getting pg. I think they say that it decreases your chances b/c the hormones it releases usually delay your cycle from starting again. The OPK would a good guide for you to see if anything's happening yet.

Just one word of warning though.. I did have HUGE troubles with my DD when I fell pg again b/c I lost my breast milk completely straight away. Really surprised me as I'd always had so much I used to leak like a tap in btn feeds right up until I lost it. Anyway, she lost weight rapidly for around 9-10 wks until I could find a formula that my stubborn little angel would drink. It was an extremely hard time for both of us and we're still suffering some of the consequences from it now. I do feel guilty that I wasn't able to BF her for as long as I'd wanted to. As with everything though everyone's different, I know of ppl who've BF throughout the entire pg.

Oh, and don't let anyone tell you you're mad having your kids so close in age, I think it's perfect like this!

All the best in TTC!
