The return of fertility after birth is heavily effected by how you feed your baby. For women who exclusively bottle feed, fertility (first ovulation and period) tend to occur within 8 weeks of giving birth. For women who exclusively breastfeed, fertility rarely returns before 6 months. For women who mix bottle and breastfeeding, it varies.
Sheila Kippley has researched Lactation Amenorrhoea and written several books on the topic, including "Breastfeeding and Natural Spacing" and "The Seven Standards of Ecological Breastfeeding: The Frequency Factor". They include details about what type of breastfeeding is most likely to lead to extended infertility, as well as statistics for how effective this is at postponing pregnancy. They've also made this nice summary sheet.
Many women combine their preferred method of natural family planning with lactation amenorrhoea. The Couple to Couple League, Billings, and Creighton all have instructions for postpartum charting. Women typically start charting within a month of birth, when lochia decreases. All three methods help women detect when ovulation is likely to occur, whether it is 6 weeks or 2 years after birth.
Typically women who chart while exclusively breastfeeding see dry days or unchanging mucus after birth. As the baby gets older and eats less/less frequently, women start to see fluctuations in mucus that indicate that the body is starting to ramp up for ovulation. This time sometimes involves a lot of abstinence because the body often tries to ovulate many times before being successful. Eventually ovulation occurs and women return to cycling, at which point your cycles will probably be regular again.
Have you contacted a CCL/Billings/Creighton instructor?
Hope you have a safe and healthy labor!
You'll definitely want to look out for any abnormalities AND support your body in detoxing from the pill. This is a new book I'm hearing great things about: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Pill-Program-Hormones-Dangerous/dp/0062847058/
One that I have read and love, and think EVERY woman should read is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Period-Repair-Manual-Second-Treatment-ebook/dp/B075NDJC2J/
You need to track BBT for FAM. Ovulation tests show that your body is gearing up for ovulation, but only a temp jump will confirm that it actually happens.
I highly recommend using FertilityFriend to track your temperature, OPKs and cervical fluid, as it's the only app that actually adjusts to your data, rather than relying on averages.
Definitely read Taking Charge of Your Fertility before you start! Also, FertilityFriend has a charting course that's a good way to learn the basics.
I don’t have any experience or knowledge about Marquette, but echo the other response about looking into the sympto-thermal method. It is a fertility awareness method (FAM) that is quite reliable when done correctly. The rhythm/calendar method is not part of FAM and is quite risky as the majority of women don’t have perfect cycles month to month. Taking Charge of Your Fertility is a great resource.
I learned parts of sympto thermo from [Natural Birth Control Made Simple] (http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Birth-Control-Made-Simple/dp/0897934032). I was not sexually active. I just did it as a part of a research paper I was writing. When I got engaged (I'm Catholic so we were waiting for marriage), I thought I should take a class. I decided since I'd never had success with BBT, I would learn the Creighton. It was a lot more in depth and confusing. Once all my questions were answered though, it was fairly easy.
After I had my daughter, I picked up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility and I read a lot about Ecological breastfeeding/LAM I was still glad I was in contact with my instructor and with a physician who was familiar with NFP. Its nice to have someone to ask questions to.
Currently I use MyFertilityMD. I love what they're doing with it, but it just tells you what days to abstain. It doesn't actually give you the knowledge that backs the method up.
I think ultimately it depends how well you learn from a book and having the resources to ask people questions when they arise.
I'd recommend starting with the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's the bible of FAM. Get a BBT, doesn't need to be expensive but make sure it's good based on reviews, and an app or paper charts to track.
I believe I’ve seen them at target, but I bought them on Amazon
