Hey there,

Been struggling with this contraception thing. Bit of background info:

Have cat 4 endometriosis (3 surgeries) and was diagnosed with PCOS early last year. I was put on metformin to help with weight loss and other symptoms, but I was not TTC, I was actually on the pill but having a 2 week break from it because of migraines. I'd only been on the pill for 3 months, and not used naything before that and had not conceived or had a period in a long time. Anyway, I lost 15kg over a month and DTD only twice and by some miracle I got pregnant. Now I have baby Leo

Now I am fully BFing and I can't use condoms (long story). I went to get the mini pill but my doctor wouldn't prescribe it as he has a moral issue with it. He is a retired OB and an excellent dr ( I am very fussy) and his problem with the mini pill is one of the way it works is if you do conceive, that it makes the vaginal environment unsutiable for implantation. He says he coudln't live with women unwillingly having miscarriages from a pill he prescribed. His suggestion was condoms or trust BFing with the proper criteria (night feeds, etc).

I was going to go to a different dr just to get the script, but I remember having problem with the mini pill before, mood swings especially and the baby's not liking it. I talked to DP about it and said it's mini pill, condoms (but could't DTD very much with these) or we just trust BFing. DP surprised me last night and said he would be okay with trusting BFing. So we did. I fully BF my baby, no comp feeds and he has night feeds, and I haven't had AF yet.

Anyway, today I am getting ovary pain and EW CM. Is this just a physchological thing because I dTd last night and am paranoid about pregnancy, or is this normal after childbirth (6 weeks ago) OR am I actually ovulating? I mean, it would be next to impossible because the only way I ovulated before was on metformin timed with losing a dramatic amount of weight, and I hadn't ovulated for around a year before that (no AF). I am not on metformin now and I am more heavier now as I've just had bubs, around a size 14/16 as I haven't lost the baby weight yet. So I'm thinking ovulation is impossible.

So is EW CM normal after a baby, afte rthe bleeding has stopped for 2 weeks or so?
