    Question Signs of returning fertility? WDYT?

    Hi there

    I am still BF my 15 month old, and cycles have not returned yet. Am keen to start TTC my second so am waiting, waiting, waiting for my fertility to return.

    I've noticed over the last week that my skin is a bit oily and not as clear as usual, and that I'm getting more CM. Not EWCM though, creamy. For most of the time I've been BF I've had almost no CM whatsoever.

    Does anyone think this might be a sign that perhaps things are starting to go back to normal? For mums whose cycles have been suppressed by BF for a long time, what signs did you get that your cycles might be resuming?

    TIA

    My cycles return around 9-11 months post partum....only suggestion i had that feritlity was approaching was prob more cramping, and increased CM.....but everyone is different....
    From what youve said...it sounds like all the signs are there that fertility is approaching...but then, i could be way off.
    Maybe just increase DTD.....you may catch the eggy before O......

    Thanks for your reply, mbear . Good to hear that the increased CM was a sign of your fertility returning. I will keep my fingers crossed to see AF before too long.

    Hehe, the only sign I got was a positive pregnancy test when my BFing DD was 16 months old!! We weren't even trying...
