Stopped taking the mini pill

View Full Post

I officially stopped taking the mini pill this weekend! I finished my pack and decided we're done protecting. The midwives said to wait 9 months before TTC again and 9 months is almost here! I still haven't gotten my first post postpartum period yet so I don't have anything to track. I'm curious to see if I'll get it back while I continue to breast feed. DH is excited to start TTC again. I have no idea what to expect or look for this time. It all seems very weird with baby and no period.

I'll only test if I have a few days of cramps and no bleeding. That was my main sign with my first BFP so I'll test if that happens again.

Thanks calvingirl! I'm unsure how to start this journey without a period!

When do you plan to stop breastfeeding? It is going to be difficult. I know a couple other ladies who are breastfeeding while ttc and I dont think you can trust that you are indeed ovulating without a regular period.

I agree. I want to breast feed DD for a least a whole year. I know other Moms that breastfeed and got their periods back so I’m hoping when she needs less breast milk and my supply drops that I’ll start ovulating again. She already eats less during the day then I make so I can start pumping less gradually.

Yayyyy, GOOD LUCK and lots of baby dust!!! I am having cramps yesterday and today, lotion like creamy CM, lower backache and very tired. I'm feeling like this could be my month for #2! Hope it is for you too!!
