TTC for a girl after my rainbow boy?
Hi, ladies! First of all, I'd like to thank you for clicking on my post and reading. I made a post earlier, but I'm not sure what happened to it. Sorry, I'm new here. :fami03: I am a mamma of two - one angel baby girl whom passed at almost 6 months due to pre term labor and a rainbow little boy.
My husband and I would love our children close together and would love to try for a little girl. I am still nursing my son, so I've been having irregular periods. My periods returned 4 weeks postpartum, for the first 4 months my cycles were 26 days exactly, now my periods are long (35 days+) and according to Toni Weschler (author of, "Taking Charge of your Fertility", I possibly didn't ovulate as I had patches of wet/fertile cervical mucus throughout my irregular cycles. I started temping religiously this month, ordered some OPKs, and started taking Vitex as of 3 days ago to help me ovulate and regulate my periods. My question is, ladies, do any of you ladies have nay other advice? I heard Vitex can give false positives on OPKs as it raises your LH, is this true? What else can I do other than wean my son to maximize my fertility? Thanks, ladies!
