Breastfeed impact on conceiving
I have a 3 years baby and I was doing breastfeed to him. In the same time I am trying to conceive since last 3 months. Since no success. As I came to know breastfeed to 3 years baby might impact issue in conceive. So I stopped feeding him since last 6 days. Post stopping feeding, how many days it might impact the next conceive? Or as soon as we stop breastfeed, it will increase the chance of conceiving?

Breast feeding increases prolactin hormone levels so u wont have ovulation during your cycles…if u stop breast feeding prolactin levels will come to normal so u will have ovulation
It usually takes 1-2 months for prolactin levels to come to normal state
Get serum prolactin blood test once
