Not sure where to post this...

Sawyer is just over 10 months and I weaned him over the past week or two. In the last couple of days I've had a lot of cramping so I figured a period was coming. So far no bleeding but a TON of nausea and some dizziness, feeling faint, etc and cramping off and on. All are very typical pregnancy symptoms for me but it's next to impossible that I would be pregnant.

So just to check, since my body is trying to quit producing milk AND have a period, would that create the same hormonal reactions???

Anyone???

Hmm, indeed. Unfortunately, I have no idea! I hope someone can help you out! :D

dunno...but totally watching this thread:mrgreen: Although you're lookin' at the gal who's 11 days late today...its getting old!

And to add to the question - has anyone here gotten pregnant before resuming their monthly cycle after baby? We've used barrier methods every time...

I did. That's how we got Fiona. :mrgreen: She and Liam are 16mths apart.

Unfortunately barrier methods aren't 100% effective, and since you would ovulate before a period, then you could get pregnant before your first AF after birth. Also, BF made no difference for me with my cycles, I've always ovulated within 7 weeks of giving birth.
But like everyone always says to me (and it's true), the only way you can tell is by doing a preg test, or wait and see what happens. Sorry not much help.
Don't know about other women, but BF and weaning has never effected my cycles in any way - plus when I stopped BF it took me almost 3 years before I stopped producing milk![whatwacko]

Oooooo... Defffffinitely watching this thread... I'm "late" here and pretty sure pg is impossible... But waiting impatiently nonetheless. ;)

Ok, you guys are scaring me now!! :D Just kidding, I'd love another baby already...

But, I'm thinking a HPT wouldn't show anything yet... probably a waste to take it so soon but now I'm curious! With Sawyer I had preg symptoms within a week of conception and it felt just like this. I'm on day 3 of 24/7 nausea... sigh...

I dont know..my body is doing some weird stuff this time around since day weaning....when it comes to hormones who knows what can happen lol

you gals sure know how to keep someone coming back for updates:mrgreen: Here's wishing for another round of C'Moms babies! (I might just have to join this time around tho...dh has been begging for another baby:) )

Well, AF showed up for me last night~ :) I'm cheering for you, though, Margi! :) ::hugs::

Hey Margi! This sure is exciting! :D How are you feeling today?? I just thought I'd throw this out there... maybe you can determine if it isn't a possibility... I was sick last week with a weird variation of the flu - constant nausea with no throwing up. [whatwacko] It lasted several days. You're close enough to me that it could be a similar bug going around there. (Although I'd much prefer it if you were preggers than sick!)

Sorry Jenni :(

Well I took the plunge and POAS... no surprise, a BFN... so obviously this whole mess is weaning-related. Sure hope it gets figured out soon!!

:( Sorry gals! We're definitely not actively TTC but neither dh or I would be in the least tiniest bit upset if we ended up pg:) So its still just a little sad everytime I see af show up.

Margi, have you kept track of your fertility signs? Ovulation before PPAF is definitely possible, in fact each time I resumed AF after baby, I ovulated first! (as evidenced by a mucus patch, dry up, and obvious temp shift)

Have you noticed ewcm recently?

That's kinda how we are too, Anna!

I've never done anything to track fertility. I don't have a clue about that stuff!! And I'm not sure about the ewcm because I have slight discharge all the time and I'm not sure I would notice??
