Fertile signs at 6 1/2 weeks?

I haven't started full-on charting yet, but I think I'll need to now.  K turned 6 weeks on Friday, and she's exclusively breastfed and eats every 2 hours or sooner except at night where she might go 4-5 hours.  On Sunday I had some spotting and yesterday I had spotting mixed with 10KL.

We are going to start trying for #2 in not too long, but I'd like to get a bit of a break from spotting/bleeding.  I had spotting/bleeding post-peak the cycle she was conceived, I had it off and on for weeks in the first and second trimester, I had bleeding during labor, and I had just stopped spotting/bleeding after birth around 4 weeks.  We haven't resumed intercourse since her birth but we'll see how long that takes since she almost never sleeps that's not on or next to someone.

  2. The same thing happened to me and then my cycles came back at 7 1/2 weeks. Ack!!! We're definitely more than open to another baby but I was hoping for a break bleeding too.

  3. I got my cycle back at 7 weeks this time (2nd child) I had about ten days without some sort of spotting/bleeding total between giving birth and having my first pp period. Yay. It kinda sucks.

    I never understand how some couples make it 6 weeks without doing anything. Maybe we're just weird. After our second child, we only lasted 17 days.
