I'm hoping to TTC #2 in July, and that's coming up very quickly. I've done temping before, but I decided not to right now because I wake up so many times at night (just brief awakenings). So I gave the Clear Blue Digital Tests a shot this month. I had my period for 5 days, had wet CF on days 12-14, had EW CF on days 15 & 16, and now am on day 18 with some creamy CF. I started using OPK's on day 13 and so far they have all been negative. I'm using them once a day, but when I was TTC with Aiden I never had to do OPK's more than once a day.
In the past my ovulation date has varied from anywhere between day 14 to 20. So maybe I'm just begining to worry a little too soon and will see a positive OPK in the next few days.
In Jan. I had a 38 day cycle. Dec. a 33 day cycle. In October a 51 day cycle. October was my first month I had a cycle since having Aiden other than a random cycle when he was 10 months old. Do you think I'm too irregular still to be ovulating? I'm nursing Aiden.

So you can totally try to get pregnant while breast feeding and I don't think it is a waste. You just need to accept that your cycles will likely still be irregular and to just relax and go with it and listen to your body.
With all of the less than ideal factors figured in when using donor sperm, why ad one more? Why not wean him?
Like I stated before, just my opinion but that is what I would do. Carolyn was looking for advice and opinions.
Still no positive OPK, but lots of CF.

I'm studying to be a lactation consultant and in all the literature that I have read breastfeeding while pregnant and tandem breastfeeding are the exception not the norm.
I do want to applaud you for breastfeeding him to 21 months, that is amazing!
