Hey there! I'm pretty new to this to, but I know BFP means a positive on a pregnancy test (HPT)--literally, I think BFP=Big freaking positive??? Not sure, I could be wrong, but that's how I read it!! Good luck and baby dust to you!

Close, Katie...BFP is usually known as Big Fat Positive. I kind of like Big Freaking Positive, though! LOL! ;)

Hey, Amanda...

I don't know that I'm qualified to give tips for TTC while BFing since I don't know if I've been successful or not, but I wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one trying to do so. Have you gotten AF yet? Mine came back in June, which makes it easier. For me the hard part is the fact that I am up several times each night to nurse my one-year-old, so I'm not sure about the accuracy of my temps...although I have a pretty "normal" looking chart in spite of it - LOL.

I mentioned to my DD's pediatrician yesterday that we were ttc and she said that I should be up-ing my intake of calcium to nearly double because the process of creating a baby and BFing at the same time realy depletes your calcium.

Good luck!
