Help needed
Ok. So I saw my OBGYN today to talk to her about my two miscarriages. She said that in SOME women, breastfeeding can cause miscarriages because of the low progesterone. She advises to stop nursing DD and then wait 3 months to TTC. She also said to call her immediately when I get a BFP and she will get me on a progesterone. DD is almost 14 months, but why do I still feel bad weaning her? Am I being selfish about weaning her to have another baby?? Honestly am I?
Thank you God and Our Lady

I would feel bad doing it too! But for the health of your future baby maybe it's necessary?

You should be fine hopping right on progesterone. I nursed DS#2 until my milk dried up halfway through my pregnancy with my DD. You shouldn't have to stop.. several women out there are pregnant and breastfeed!

Honestly, I've never heard of m/c because of b/f'ing. Not that I'm a doctor or anything. I never actually "weaned" either of my bubs, I just kind of let them take charge. My DD lost interest at 18 months and my DS went to 16 months. I don't think you're being selfish, but do consider your DD - does she seem prepared to let go? It can be traumatizing...

I weaned my son at 8 months because I hadn't had the return of my periods yet and we wanted these last 2 close in age. It worked quickly but I STILL feel very guilty. Obviously your dd is much older but older can equal wiser! Have you thought about cutting back to just 1-2 nursings a day?

Yes I for sure going to cut it back to nap time and bed and see how she does. If she is having too hard a time then ill know its just to soon. Sometimes TTC can be so complicated.

I just had to wean my almost 14 month old a week and a half ago to TTC. I would have kept breastfeeding but have to take DIM and shouldn't breastfeed while on it. It is much harder on me than on him, though. I really wanted to make it to 2 years to get the full benefit but oh well. You have definitely done great and gone longer than most!

You know what?....thats HER opinion. Has she checked your progesterone or measured your cycle by bloodwork? I don't buy it.
I personally wouldn't do it. Your DD will naturally get older and nurse less (maybe at night??? or early mornings could be dropped) but we are really made to nurse and be pregnant. Thats MY opinion. (not an MD ) I understand the need to be pregnant immediately but idk...I put the existing kids first unless there is an urgent pressing need to ttc asap.
