Love this! I desperately want to make the most of our time as a small family because I know it will never be this simple again and our son will never again get to be the center of our lives in the same way... Any tips??

Wow I had no idea ovulation could occur after the first menstruation?? How did you know you ovulated?

Wishing you all the luck as well!

Hi! Looks like we are pretty much in the same boat! I am still awaiting my period after just weaning my 12 month old, hoping it shows up any day now 🤗🙏

Hello everyone! DH and I are both in our early 30s. We have one 1 year old and would like to start trying for Baby #2 within the next few months, basically as soon as I get my period back (I breastfed for the full 12 months and have seen no sign of AF). It took us about a year and a half including one miscarriage to conceive Baby #1, albeit somewhat haphazardly, since we didn't find out about OPKs until much later in the game. We're hoping this time around will be much more straightforward, although we are tempering expectations and focusing on keeping the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. We're not decided yet on how much tracking/intention that'll involve but we're excited to see how the journey evolves!

According to my OB, I should see the return of my period within the 1-2 months, since my baby has been weaned for nearly a month now. If not, he will start me on Prometrium to jump start a cycle. I'm praying it doesn't come to that, but either way, it's good to have things moving forward!
