My background ... just turned 38 and wanting to TTC third and final bub this year (fingers crossed). DS1 born March 08 - required two cycles of clomid to concieve. DS2 born Dec 09 conceived naturally - was a surprise package because AF did not return after DS1 (BFd 13 months). Currently BFing DS2 2 x daily, no AF since bub's birth.

My query. Given I haven't had AF, and I don't want to spend a freakin' fortune of OPKs, what's the best way to try and determine what the heck my body is doing. How much of a pain in the neck is charting temps, and is it a good indicator?

Obviously I ovulated about 12 months after DS1 was born, DS2 is living proof! But as yet, no AF since DS2 was born. Partly I'm keen to stop BFing DS2 to see what happens, but he loves his "boobie" and I'm reluctant to wean him if he isn't ready.

I don't know ... I'm thinking acupuncture to see if that can "make" something happen, or otherwise it's probably off to the GP (who would likely refer me to a FS). As my last bub was conceived easily, I'd like to think we could conceive a third easily too.

Bit confuddled as to where to start on our TTC venture. And rest assured, the actual mechanics of conceiving aren't a problem ... just the timing!

Would welcome any thoughts.
