We waited until Oscar was 6 months then started trying for number 2. I was desperate for him not to be an only child (as i am and don't enjoy being) and also wanted them close together. Managed it when DS#1 was just under 10 months. We are TTC #3 at the mo although not properly as i don't have a cylcle yet as still bf DS#2 but certainly hoping soon. i guess if you are having to go the AC route then sooner is better than later.
All the best for your birth of #1 very soon and good luck for #2 in the future
i just came across this thread and thought i would reply to you. i also have pcos and have high prolactin which i had to take medication for (along with clomid to conceive our DD who is now 18 months) i unfortunately devoloped a pituitary tumour in my pregnancy at 27 weeks but it is gone for now. i breastfed my DD for 15 months and did not get a period in that whole time, it was probably due to the pcos rather than the breastfeeding or combination of both. i then started clomid again just after i weaned without success (2 cycles) so i again took medication to lower my prolactin and fell pregnant on the 3rd cycle, i am now 8 weeks pregnant with number 2. i have heard though you have a higher chance of falling pregnant within 6 months of giving birth however its probably not the case for those of us with pcos and irregular periods anyway. i guess you have to decide do you want to wean number 1 just so you can start trying on number 2 as most specialists won't allow you to take medication to ttc while still breastfeeding
