That night nursing really plays a role in suppressing fertility! Micah slept through the night a couple of times and had some long sleep stretches and I had some spotting around 5 months. He went back to nursing a lot during the night and I'm back to unambiguous infertility.

We're 9 months postpartum and it's pretty obvious that nothing is happening in the fertility department. Maybe I'll get as long without AF (or longer) as last time. One thing is for sure--minor changes to the frequency of nursing can sure mess with lactational amenorrhea.

I'm not looking forward to the ambiguity when he starts cutting down on nighttime nursing though. But this time, I'm not planning on forcing nighttime weaning either. (it didn't work very well last time, anyway)

Any other non-TTC'ers around here? Let's get the conversation in this forum moving a bit!

I totally know what you mean Ruth. When Warrior gets in some night time sleeping stretches the cm picks up. Not necessarily screaming fertile (even now at 18 months) but *more* nonetheless. Then he goes back to nursing a couple of times at night and the cm changes yet again.

Cool beans! Do you think that he will nurse to 2 years old?

I dunno. He drives me nuts. He's a whiner. LOL He acts like a big baby (I know I know, but, ykwim, right?) and I swear there's a connection. I've 'threatened' to cut him off just to knock that garbage off.
