    just be careful as you may catch the eggie the first time you ovulate before getting AF
    ....ummm yep, that happened to us with DD#3......

    I got AF back June 2008 (DD 9 months old) and had 2 cycles before i was pregnant again (fell pg in the August)......mine were around the 32-36 day cycle....

    I got mine back when DS was 8 months, had three cycles before falling prg again. And yes, they were regular 28 day cycles (which I hadn't had since my surgery pre IVF which was interesting...) but this differs from person to person and some women remain quite irregular while b'feeding.

    And no, just because you're having a period, even a regular period, does not necessarily mean you're ovulating. My plan was to go and have some blood tests done to see if I was or not (for contraceptive purposes) but we didn't get that far - thankfully the universe had other plans for us!
