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.

Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy. Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant. This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...
