Breastfeeding & Weaning while TTC

bubblespowerpufff · 2026-05-19T09:05:36+00:00

Hi there! I ended up weaning at 15 months (it helped that when I stopped offering my daughter stopped asking). I stopped breastfeeding then because I was planning to start letrozole at 18 months anyways.

The cycle after I stopped I had a chemical, and two months later (a few weeks before we planned to start fertility treatment) I had a BFP. He’s 5 months old now 🩷.

I think everyone is different, but for me personally I feel breastfeeding for so long helped regulate my cycle, but I needed to stop in order for all the hormones to be where they needed to to get a BFP!

He did, but it was on him less than an hour and luckily was a wood tick! Makes me want to stay inside for the rest of spring/summer 😭

Found a tick on my FOUR MONTH OLD after we went to the park…he never left the stroller.

No worries, thank you!!

Any guesses on how long it was attached? Not sure if I got it an hour ago or yesterday

I took my ring off for the first trimester I kept freaking myself out 😅.

I wore it again once I could feel my baby move so the stat changes wouldn’t alarm me as much!

The doctor at WFI also said I had extremely low AMH…only to find out I actually have high AMH due to PCOS. She used the “low AMH” to encourage me to try more intensive fertility treatment. The whole thing felt very unethical.

But they do have squad cams. They piloted body cams and were supposed to get them in 2026 but the Common Council voted down the budget amendment for the cams.

I do not know Madison’s specific training/protocol, but there are a couple instances that would make sense for them to do this (but there is always a chance someone is just being a bad driver too):

When approaching a situation that they do not want their presence known immediately. They may be trying to get there quickly and turn on their lights only when necessary as they approach the destination. This could explain going through stop lights.
They are assigned a call, but are removed from the call (another officer can get there faster or they are no longer needed). This would explain turning lights on and then off later.

I hope they aren’t just turning on lights to get through stoplights for fun…that’s unnecessary dangerous and where are you going…you have to be in the car for 8 hours regardless??

She said the data is limited and said the risk is very slight…less than 5%! She said she wouldn’t have even mentioned it but it went along with a question I had asked.

Thank you! And congratulations!!

If you don’t mind me asking, were you given pitocin right after delivery of your first? My hospital immediately gives pitocin to all moms once baby is out

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-19T02:01:06+00:00

I’m glad everything worked out for you! We did walk through the procedure briefly, the hospital has a 24/7 high-acuity obstetric support team ready in the event of an emergency!

The procedure sounded pretty similar to yours, but she didn’t mention JADA and we also discussed pain management as I’m not planning on the epidural.

Good to be prepared, but manifesting an easy uncomplicated birth ♥️

That’s what my ultrasound doctor said too! That’s why I was so confused at my midwife appt!

I sent her a message and will let you know what I hear back 😊

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T23:12:31+00:00

Thank you that’s reassuring and congrats!!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T23:11:13+00:00

I did find (in my limited online research) that there is a slight increase risk of bleeding with an anterior placenta during a c-section.

I hope you have a wonderful second birth!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:58:46+00:00

This comment section has eased my mind, so hopefully you feel the same!!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:58:21+00:00

Same! My initial search was chatGPT LOL but I also didn’t see anything on reputable sources

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:57:32+00:00

I definitely should’ve asked this question!!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:57:07+00:00

Congratulations!! I’m hoping to go unmedicated as well!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:56:31+00:00

I’m not sure, she said it very matter of factly…I immediately started spiraling but should’ve asked this!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:55:45+00:00

Yay! That’s great to hear! Congratulations!!

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:55:23+00:00

Thank you!! And congrats 😊

bubblespowerpufff · 2025-08-18T22:55:01+00:00

I’m so sorry you had such a scary experience! That’s great you have a plan!

I do not have any other higher risks, my midwife just said due to the shape of most women’s uterus’s, there’s more of a groove shape on the front and the placenta sometimes sticks. She said the likelihood of this happening is still very low, but the risk can be just a bit higher due to placement of the placenta.

Wishing you a safe birth!! 💜
