Re: [cinnfp] Cycles in extended breastfeeding

I had LAM until 10 months and then two cycles with
shortened LP's... so essentially a year of LAM.

I was not ready to conceive at 10 months pp, indeed
the thought sent me into the fetal position for well
over a year beyond THAT, so we used NFP at that time
to postpone. However, I did think about the moral
implications at the time... would it be selfish or
cruel to bring a baby into the world only to have it
not be able to implant?

I can't speak to church teaching on that, but I can
say that I thought about the following:
1) at that point in development, the baby by any
estimation would not have brain activity or pain
receptors. (not in any way do I say this diminishes
it's inherent personhood or right to life) So I felt
that, like most early miscarriages, we didn't have to
worry about the child suffering at all and so that
wouldn't be a reason to postpone.

Second, I felt that since all those guidelines about
how long a LP needs to be to conceive are flexible, I
mean, we all know ppl that according to NFP shouldnt'
have conceived or whatever, and yet they did... then I
could trust God to work that out, and if that baby was
meant to be, it would be.

JMHO..... Since you don't know until the cycle is over whether THAT particular cycle will be one with a short luteal phase, it seems to me that you are...

My understanding is that the short luteal phase when menses first return is actually considered part of the way ecological breastfeeding postpones pregnancy....

I second the thought that you don't know how long any particular cycle will be until it's over. Between our first and second I had just shy of 17 months of...
