Are you BFing? If so, the odds are going to be against you for a little while longer. The hormone released when you BF actually supresses ovulation, and without O you can't conceive. Most women who BF full time will beging Oing and seeing their periods again at around 14 months after giving birth. Clomid is an option to reverse that, but you would need to speak to your Dr about that.


Here's a great article that will hopefully be helpful.

Hello,


I'm pretty new to the board...how can I find out what all the abbreviations mean? I read a lot of your posts (and they all sound awesome), but I get lost.


Any help would be appreciated!


Thanks

Hi there! The abbreviations/acronyms can be pretty confusing at first, but before you know it you'll be using them like a first language. :)


Here's a link to a post with a ton of helpful info, including a list of abbreviations/acronyms and their meanings. HTH (Hope that Helps)!!
