Clomid for ttc, while still nursing first baby

Background history: TTC since 7/99. (On the pill for nearly 10yrs.) 3 quick periods, then nothing for 6mo. Bled 30d straight. Nothing for 3mo. Small period. Nothing for 2mo. Dr checked progesterone - low. Had (prog?) to kick-start cycle. Dr checked again - apparently not ovulating. 50mg clomid for two cycles - still not ovulating. 100mg clomid - not ovulating. 150mg clomid - ovulated. No longer needed (prog?) to start the cycles. My daughter was conceived 4/01 after four more months of clomid (only three proved positive ovulation with blood test at d21).

Daughter born 1/7/02, no complications for either of us! Now almost 8mo old. I am still nursing her, although not nearly to the extent as newborn. (OB/GYN consultation appt in two months.) Would there be any harm in using clomid again, *while* still nursing? Do you think she will suggest to stop? Any harm to baby (via breastmilk) if I keep nursing? ...I've read that sometimes baby will stop nursing due to flavor change in breastmilk, after becoming pregnant....

Current info: After 6wks postpartum bleeding, had two mini-periods in 3/02 and 4/02. Then normal period mid-5/02, checked pg-test, negative 7/02. Another normal period 7/02 (heh, day after, must've been stressss holding it back). Just finishing third normal period end of 8/02. For me, 45+ day cycle is close enough! I'm not a 28d person! But basal body temp is indicating no ovulation (all in 97, whereas the months in 2001 where I confirmed ovulation, jumped to 98+) Do periods return, even without ovulation, postpartum? That's why I think I might end up with clomid again!

Thanks for any insight. -Jennifer
