First off,

and

!

I know this board has been really quiet around here lately, (both the previous mods became grads!

) but if all the lurkers and newbies jump in, it will be a great sorce of ttc wisdom and place to vent frustrations yet again.

Let me introduce myself. I am the new mod of ttc while breastfeeding. I am a grad of this board (baby is now almost 11 months!), and a mom of 5. I am still undecided about ttc again, but it is rather a mute point until my ppaf shows.

A lot of the gals currently hanging around have been posting here for years, as have I, but that doesn't mean we don't love to meet and cheer on new ttc while breastfeeding moms! So please, jump in and post in the updates sticky thread above your cycle day and chart (if you chart) or where you are in ttc. (waiting for ppaf, etc.) We would love to cheer you on!!

Feel free to voice any ideas or suggestions. No question is to dumb or embarrassing! We all need encouragement, even the veterans!

Everyone, feel free to reply to this post and introduce yourself. And remember, if you want to see your info in the stats list so everyone can cheer you on, make sure to also post in the updates thread.

and tons of

to all!!

Hi!! I'm Becky. I'm a grad as well. I have 2 boys...Logan will be 3 in March and Lance will be 1 in March. We aren't really TTC yet...just not preventing. I think we will really start trying in April, but that hasn't been set in stone. DH keeps telling people we are trying right now! I'm hoping my cys get straightened out soon!!!

Hey..I am Mel.. mommy to 6..My oldest is almost 8.. youngest is almost 1.. I am not currently TTC but DH and I haven't been exactly careful lately..

.. I am a charting veteran. Although I must admit my last baby was due to a charting error while bfing..lol.. so I have tried to learn lots about charting while bfing..but now know.. you really can't master it.. because every chart looks different.

.

Anyway.. I have been around these boards for a loooooong time.. and I love making new friends.. So if my DH ever gives the go ahead to TTC our 7th and last baby.. I will already have several friends to cheer for me..

Hi, my name is Kristi. I am new to this board. I am in my 1st cycle TTC since giving birth to my son. I am TTC #5. Sometimes I wonder if I am nuts, but I would hate my son to be alone and not have anyone to play with while growing up since the other kids are so much older. I am 8DPO today. I can always hope that it happens quickly

I have had 3 normal cycles since giving birth and I am ovulating.

Hi! I am Melissa-mom to Kylie (2.5 years old), Elise (1.5 years old) and Caden (almost 3 months old). I am charting and currently hoping that my cycles resume so we can conceive our final baby somewhat closely spaced to the other three. I have charted since before Kylie was conceived, but bf'ing is throwing me off and I feel like I am in a standstill. I am really hoping my body kickstarts back in gear and we can complete our family with one last baby (similarly spaced to his/her siblings!)

I guess I should intro myself since I still lurk here. I am a TTC while bfing grad. My name is Anna I am mommy to Alex who will be 4 in April and Julianna who is 18 months. We are not currently TTC but not preventing. I don't have AF back yet but have had a little spotting here and there so I think that maybe I am trying to gear up to have AF? I would be more than happy if she stayed away for longer. We definitely want to have a 3rd baby but when is still up in the air. Anyway, I am around and definitely know lots on the subject of breastfeeding and pregnancy and such

Anna, I love your sig pic! They are adorable and are growing up so fast!

I'm Sara, mom to Xander (2.5) and Hayden (7 1/2 m.) We aren't preventing, but I haven't had my ppaf yet. I'm not sure what we're going to do since we just found out my parents are taking us to Florida & Disney for Thanksgiving this year (we've never been) and I don't want to be on the verge of delivering when we go. We have to do some calculating.
