Hi, my name is Michelle. I am new here. I have 6 children, 5 daughters and 1 son. We are hoping and praying for a little brother for our son, who is currently only 4 1/2 months old. I really like the close age spans, my closest so far (not counting twins) is 14 months. i know we can't plan to have a boy, but we are hoping and praying for another boy - but we would be thrilled with another girl as well!
As I said, my baby is only 4 1/2 months old. He is exclusively breastfeeding, sleeping about 10 hours at a time at night, and going 3-4 hours during the day. He is only nursing about 5 -6 times/day right now. We plan to start solids in another 6-10 weeks, so not real soon. I feed on demand, co sleep when they are really little (but like to get them into their own beds by about 3 months old to start with, after the first night feeding, they usually stay. He eats least often out of all of my children, but since he is 16 lbs at 4 months old, we are not concerned with how little he is nursing!
As with all of my other children, I strated fppaf at about 6 weeks pp. I have had 4 fairly normal, regular cycles. my question is, how can I tell if I am Oing or having anovulatory cycles. Is there anything I can do or take to encourage O? Or is it just a waiting game?
We are hoping that we got it this month, I have another week before I am able to test, but if we didn't make it, we hope to be able to do something to encourage ovulation next cycle.
