    Red face What did your BM do when you fell pg?

    No I'm not! Well at least I doubt it.

    Just looking for some reassurance. I posted about my ouchie nipples & it was asked if I could be UTD. Not what I want, but won't say no either, lol.

    So I'm trying to go through things to see if there are any other signs. I can't see how conception would happen really.

    LMP (normal) 7th November. Only saw DH for 2 days to DTD, around 13th - 15th November. Spotting/AF 30th November. So only had a 23 day cycle, but since I didn't think I was O'ing yet at all, didn't think much of it.

    My nipples are just feeling over worked atm. Like they need a break. I am dreading feeds & sooking about it til DS finishes. Today I noticed I felt full this morning on one side, but that could be a million things. I could've avoided that side twice last night coz it was hurting more. DS didn't feed over night, but has been sick, so has probably been feeding more & boosted my supply a tad.

    I have been a bit crampy & my back's been killing me the last 2 or 3 days, but I've been spending alot of time at the sewing machine, so that doesn't help. I might be weeing more, but its hot. I've been drinking more.

    Lol, I have an answer for everything! No feeling pg/sick like I'd usually have, so I really don't think so.

    Does everyone's supply drop off when they fall pg, or can it pick up?

    I think I'm silly for thinking I could be. It just doesn't work, lol!

    Ok....click it....submit new thread...

    Hmmm...how long is your cycle usually? Did you get a proper AF or just spotting for a couple of days?

    I had a chemical pregnancy while BF'ing DS2 when he was almost 11 months old and he completely weaned himself. I'm guessing my supply dropped off while I was pg?

    Good luck either way!

    Cycle is usually 30 days, but I haven't had one regular cycle since DS.

    AF came back when DS was 9 months old & was 6 - 8 weeks apart for 3 cycles. Then I got the depo & that stopped everything for that 3 months. Then I think I had 1 30 day cycle, then the 23 days.
    It was a little bit more than spotting, but lasted less than 2 days. Definetely not as heavy as normal AF.

    And I've heard alot of babies wean due to the supply drop when pg.

    When I fell pregnant in Feb I was expressing full time so I knew how much milk I was getting in a day, my supply halved in the two weeks, sadly I miscarried but my supply picked back up, I fell pregnant the following month (with this pregnancy) and once again my supply halved in my TWW, it was one of the signs for me that I was pregnant, I slowly stopped expressing over the next month or so as it really affected my supply to much to bother with the stress of continuing.

    Good Luck!

    I didn't think it had effected mine until Ashton self weaned at 13.5months I was sad. He was so fussy then just blatently refused the nipple at all. Clammed his mouth shut and turned away whenever I tried. Then when I would say "want num num's?" He would announce "NO" lol

    Probably tasted different. It's all I put it down to because there was and still IS milk there. I've tried a few times since to offer but he isn't interested.
