@Agent94,

as far as i know, you are post partum, breastfeeding and not have a period yet.

it is possible that you do not know what you feel “down there” because there is nothing to observe because your fertility has not come back yet.

It was my case until recently, when i clearly began to feel something (fertile phase, highly probable), even if I didn"t know where i was in my fertility/cycle before. I was formed in nfp, but had not made a PP appointment to see if i understand all. I was not charting (no temp, no mucus), but finally surprise by the sensations/observations.

I am not sure, if it is enough, and being able to identify 100% sure the 1st day of fertility (or if i was surprised too late, it was a problem for me since before my 1st pregnancy) but definitely, I observe a pattern.

You have decided abstinence. fine. It is the perfect time to learn observation! no interaction with sex, no stress of fertility. You can wait until your first period to begin.

Can you consider it? Because your problem is only deleated for some time, as you don’t want more than 3 children.

I was having a very confusing pattern that was wet/slippery everyday since my lochia stopped.y fertility has returned again very soon even though I am exclusively breastfeeding my 7 week old. My fertility returns super fast. My two babies are only 13 months apart. I am extremely nervous about pregnancy right now. I would like to wait 2 years before we have our 3rd. I’m not sure I trust the method or my body or my ability to understand my body. It’s all very confusing still even with instruction from my Billings teacher.
 
Okay. Thanks you for taking time to answer.
I think you need time right now.
Time for your babies, time to recover, without the pression fertility can brings. Abstinence can be a relieve for you, I am happy your husband understand.

You would have time to understand you better. Differents patterns existed, even in Billings. Differents methods too, and perhaps in some time you would see things differently.
You were very courageous to try when you were post-partum/breastfeeding, because it is the hardest way. Few women try.

When the fertility would have a more regular pattern, and you would sleep more the night, conditions would be probably improoved for you. I pray for it.

Sorry, I have not understand what you say in your last post… If you are nervous about pregancy it is either because you are already having relations or considered to resume them…

I pray that you will able to manage your life. I can only advise to not make any decisions that you have no trust in…
