OK, so here is where I'm at. I was supposed to start a/f on the 18th. It was a no show and I took a hpt on the 20th, got a BFN. Eventually a/f arrived on the 23rd, three days late. It's more spotting than an actual flow so I have no idea what's going on. I'm still b'feeding my 1 yr old, but have had 4 normal cycles since August. We'll probably start dtd soon to try and catch an egg if there even is one. :innocent:

What's happening with you?

I had my AF Jan. 9-13. I'm usually five days of AF, but my first AF after birth is usually a little off so I'm not concerned. We just baby danced recently though so I might not be fertile anymore...although if Jesus is the one to make everything happen, then why bother with fertile periods? It's in His hands anyway!!! :P

This is how I prepare for pregnancy:

• Eat as healthy as possible - I've added kale to my egg sandwiches w/ cheese. I follow that up with yogurt. I also need to add some sweet potato and stuff. I've never stopped taking my prenatal pills. I'm also still nursing and Abey will be 9mos. on the 28th.
  
• Re-read and pray through Supernatural Childbirth
  
• Enjoy my husband!!!

:_wink:

I'm glad to hear that everything is on track! I believe that it is all in God's hands too, so I'm not charting or getting too serious at this point. We want to have another baby and believe it'll happen when God chooses, so we're just having fun in the mean time! :_biggrin:

I love babies. This last one I did things completely different just because I knew it was the right thing to do. I had a very steep learning curve to climb and am still climbing it, but I do look forward to doing it all over again! Love has said we might as well just use Jesus this time around for our doctor and midwife so it sounds like we'll be doing a UP/UC again! We just got a hospital built close to us so that's an even better thing for the naysayers. I prefer to be home, but I can go down the block if need be! :)

[Violet]

Veronika, it's the 10th and no AF! I'm holding my breath!!! :P

[mommieto4]

I can't wait to hear Violet!!

[LisaS]

yeah...update?

nosie people that we are and all....

[Violet]

Wellllll.....I usually start my flow in the middle of the night and when I wake up there it is....soooooo I still don't have it yeeeeeeetttttt....... :innocent:

[o0o0i0o]

How exciting!!!!!

[Violet]

Okay...it's the 15th and last month I was finished with my flow by this time...I've alerted my husband and told Abey baby that he might be getting another brother or sister soon! :D I haven't told anyone else (Except Jesus...but He already knows) Love wants to know if my schedule could be a little off since this is the first time I've had LAM. Could be, but even with LAM my body worked as naturally as it could by having it for 9mos. My first period was just like my other first periods except it came later...it's been more than a year since I've had my period....so I think my body is still working like clockwork, like it usually does, which means.....I'M PREGNANT AGAIN!!!! =)=) Now I gotta confirm it. I don't like taking tests. I wanna leave it as a mystery and just use the clues I've already been given so I will probably just go to a calculator and figure out when conception should have been based on my last period start date. I wrote down our baby dancing times so I'll just see if they coincide. If they do, then I'm DEFINITELY pregnnat...if they don't then I'm not....of course the best way to know for sure is to just wait till my belly starts filling out! =)=)


WHOOO HOOO!!!! I have been planning for this one since I had my last one! I'm SOOOOO excited!!!!

Oh yeah...I REALLY don't want to tell anyone that won't share in my joy so Imma be hush, hush to my family even my mother. That might be hard since she comes to visit quite often. If she starts in on the condescending stuff I'll just nail her! I usually get cornered on the phone when she asks if there's anything new going on and I don't want to lie to her. This time I'll just tell her I'm doing great! =) I wanna keep this to myself...

Oh yeah and they just built a hospital five minutes away so I should be covered if we need an emergency....this is shaping up to be another UP/UC! :spudnikboogie:

[Violet]

Okay, I just went to a calculator and guess what?! I'm due Oct. 16! =)=)

Have you tested yet??

It is possible for your body to have LONG cycles when you first start cycling especially while bf. just throwing that out there...

[Sombra]

I don't want to burst your bubble.. I sure hope you're expecting.. but my first cycles after LAM are usually 38-35-32-29 then 26 days.. ish.. it usually takes me a good 4 months to return to normal.. and get pg. BUT.. my friend Jen went for nearly 10 years without a cycle, went straight from pg to LAM to pg to LAM over and over and over again.. so.. it could be you really are pregnant.. time will tell, or a test if you're impatient.. lol.

[Jewel]

Like Sombra said that's been my experience too; longer cycles to start with and then they get shorter as my body returns to normal..

I am experiencing that now actually. I had my first postpartum cycle on jan 11th but nothing since. We're on day 37 and no cycle yet.. all negative hpt tests...just weaned JaidenNoah off his night nursings so hoping to either see another cycle or ovulation or pregnancy soon. :)

[Violet]

Yeah I know...that's what Love says. I haven't tested so it might be the case that I'm just very late and will start later on in the month...I'll just keep an eye on it...although it is very coincidental that the conception time is a day away from when we baby danced...
