Fertility and breastfeeding
Journey (breastfeeding) with first born is ongoing and we're looking to expand our family. LO is no where near interested in weaning (trying since May).
Worried our BF is impact my hormone levels and ability to conceive to grow our family.
Does anyone have any experience with ovulation stimulating drugs to assist? (BF or not)
Any advice/experience with fertility/conception while BF?
Every month, when nears time for aunt Flo, I hope it doesn't arrive, in hopes of pregnancy. But conversely, want to know my cycle is regular (ovulating) and chance of getting pregnant. Disappointed/heartache when flo does arrive (signifying need to attempt again next cycle to conceive babe #2).
Any help welcomed.

How long had your period been back?
@Gabrielle my first is 21 months old. Period came back in March (this year) for the very first time and twice since. Expecting aunt Flo again early October (maybe). Hasn't been regular and each of the three cycles were very different (flow, duration, consistency, etc). Thanks.
Yeah it can take a while for your period to get back regular especially if breastfeeding. You could ask your doctor about what you could do. But I don’t think there’s anything you can take to help with ovulation until your body gets back to normal/maybe not breastfeeding
