How Many Cycles While Nursing

How many cycles did it take these women to become pregnant

when they were trying to conceive while breastfeeding?

This was out of 15 mothers (ages 22-37), myself included from 2015 who became pregnant. This is a tally of the cycles regardless if the mother eventually weaned or continued breastfeeding while trying to conceive. Below, I provide additional information on how many mothers weaned and how many continued breastfeeding.

Graph Stats: How to read my stats from my chart below, the first number is the number of women who conceived that cycle out of the total number of women. No period - 1 out of 15, 1 cycle - 1 out of 15, 2 cycles - 3 out of 15, 3 cycles - 2 out of 15, 5 cycles - 3 out of 15, 7 cycles - 3 out of 15, and 10 cycles - 2 out of 15.

* All 15 became pregnant, but only 14 had viable pregnancies and 1 miscarried in early pregnancy.

* 12 moms became pregnant while breastfeeding and 3 moms weaned from breastfeeding to become pregnant. 1 mother became pregnant without having her postpartum menstrual returned and 11 mothers became pregnant after having their postpartum menstrual return.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1.
