Not that I'm aware of. Many of my patients are quite knowledgable about "being in tune with theri bodies" and they're pretty clueless while breast feeding.

>I was hoping to track my cycles after the baby was born till i realized most women do not have periods while breastfeeding..I am very regular and usually have classic signs when I ovulate (mucus etc). Otherwise I plan on getting an IUD till I stop breastfeeding,

Haven't not looked it up in a while, IUDs were contraindicated in breast feeding due to risk of perforation (having something to do with suppressed hormones while breastfeeding). If anyone has documented, newer info, please present it for my own edificatin.
