Breastfeeding and trying to conceive...
My husband and I recently decided to try for another, hopefully a baby girl, we have two sons. I just had my implanon taken out about a month ago and I am exclusively breast feeding our 9 month old... has anyone had difficulties getting pregnant while breast feeding, how long did it take, and did your milk supply decrease drastically?

Hi Swaldorf91!
We've been kind of trying the last few months. I am still nursing my 14 month old and this is our first month that I've really paid close attention to timing and ovulating.
Today I am 9 dpo so I'll test in a few days for bfp. I'm also over 40 so it might not be easy for us.
I also have 2 boys. A girl would be awesome!! I've heard to start your "trying earlier prior to ovulaiton since sperm carrying the female gene swim slower, but live longer. The male sperm swim quick so you want to give those girls a chance to hit that egg first. haha! You never know though!
I don't really know about how/if milk production will change, I've read different experiences.
Good luck to you! And good for you for still nursing. I'm wondering if our breasts will get tender if we do concieve, since we are already producing milk instead of preparing to.
I guess our bodies are all different so just like symtoms and every pregnancy... you really never know what will happen this time.
Do you know how many days you are post ovulation?

We've been ttc for 8 mths or so. I've also been breastfeeding my daughter. She's almost 3 and we just weaned her about a month ago. Not sure if breastfeeding completely affects conception or not. Heard of a lot of women who have no problems while bf and ones that do. Crazy. Guess every woman is different. This is our first month ttc without any breastfeeding so we'll see... :)
