Hi lj268,

No harm in being prepared.

I have just weaned DS at 14 months because we wanted to TTC. Yes, I feel a bit guilty about it but I simply did not get AF while breastfeeding more than twice a day and I didn't want the complication of breastfeeding while TTC because my cycles are screwy enough!!!!. This is my first cycle without breastfeeding at all.

If I were in your shoes, I would breastfeed exclusively for the first 6 months and then take it from there. There is an article on AustralianDoctor.com.au (sorry can't post links), that GPs should be advising women should to wait 6 months postpartum before TTC due to increased risks of complicated pregnancies and births, so you'd probably be advised to wait this time anyway. Your body needs some time to recover.

Don't know if there is anyway around the ovulation problem and breastfeeding if you are sensitive to the breastfeeding hormones. If I were you I'd be seeking medical advice ASAP after having bubs if not before, especially as it took 2 years to concieve this one.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
