We've been trying to conceive number 2 for about 9 months now(well, really since my little man was born Jan last year, but AF has been consistently showing for around 9 months), and I have to say that periods while breastfeeding are just a pain in the butt that just constantly mess with your head!!!
I got my first AF at 7-8 weeks post partum, was normal. None for the next 4 months. Then 3 months of getting them every 20 days, lasting on average around 12 days each. Then 2 long cycles of 44 and 40 days, around 10 days long each. Then a 'normal' cycle - 30 days and period was only 8 days and I thought Finally! They are getting back to normal... Next cycle has lasted 44 days so far and AF is still AWOL :/
So frustrated!
Especially as around cycle day 20 I had fertile CM for about a week with a positive OPK, yet HPT's last week were all negative and if I did O it'd make me almost 2 weeks late... But I'm betting its the breastfeeding delaying it again. It's also screwed up my bbt temps so I cant use that to track either. I mostly only BF at night now as well, but trying to wean as he's nearly 15 months and I would like him to start sleeping through the night.
So over the waiting game; Will AF come? Am I pregnant yet? Why isn't AF here yet when HPT is negative still? Should I buy more HPT's and just keep testing till AF shows or should I just save my money?
Just, over it!
Anyone else in the same boat? Share your rant!
