How soon after birth can I try IVF again?

Hi Drs Plosker, Mayer & Keefe,

I know I am jumping the gun here, but I wanted to know how long after giving birth can we try IVF again (plan on breast feeding)?

We always wanted more than 1 and am extremely blessed and grateful for our current pregnancy, but definately want to try for #2.  We also have a ton of unused/unexpired fertility meds that won't expire until 2009.

Thanks in advance.

After you wean, but at least six months after delivery, would be reasonable. It is not recommended that you be exposed for fertility drugs while still breastfeeding.
