long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

i have no idea what is going on with this cycle...i think i have said that a million times!! Anyway i am still temping cause af isn't flowing i am spotting dark red off and on...well not even really i don't know how to explain it, when i wipe it seems like a lot so i put in a tampon..and then when i went and removed it just a little dot of blood...yesterday i didn't wear a tampon or a panty liner and nothing in the panties but always when i wipe!! even when i temp in the am i don't even see blood on the thermo...i know totally tmi..so maybe i shouldn't have messed with ff settings and i am on 13dpo today...might switch it around and see what happens -- who knows, i even worked out last night and didn't have any heavy spotting or anything just the same old wipe and you see it..

Sorry I don't have any advice, but I hope you figure out what's going on soon

Here are a few pics of Shaelyn. Things have been hectic around here so I haven't gotten my birth story typed up yet but I will start working on it. Everything is going good and I am loving being a mom! I am having issues with breastfeeding which is really disappointing. I am barely producing anything and I have been pumping and having to give her formula because she lost 1 pound. But she is already gaining it back and is healthy. I am hoping if I keep pumping things will get better because I really want to breastfeed

I have been doing research and it appears PCOS can cause low milk supply. So frustrating that PCOS is still haunting me even after getting pregnant.

 

[MommyDream]

She's beautiful Rachel!!! I love the hair!

Sorry about the low milk supply... If you keep pumping it may just work! Did Shaelyn have trouble latching? Breastfeeding is really hard and takes a lot of work. Some women have magical abilities (or luck?) and it just works for them, but I really think that's the minority. Keep at it - I hope it works out for you! But if not, all that matters is that Shaelyn is healthy!

Rachel, Shaelyn is absolutely gorgeous. You must be well chuffed. How much sleep you getting?

The link betwee pcos and low supply is pants. How much evidence is there? Xxx

 

[MommyDream]

Oh and I forgot to add that I have PCOS and oversupply! So maybe there is some link but not everyone has that issue it seems..

Rachel!!!! She is GORGEOUS! You must be so happy I haven't breastfed before, but I also hear that it's a lot harder than women make it out to be and requires patience and time. I hope you stick with it! If not, then it's not your fault!!

Raven, I hope your cycle was just off a few days in FF and that it resolves quickly

 

[rmsh1]

She is lovely Rachel! What a good mop of hair, similar to Emma's!

Sorry the breast feeding is not easy I hope it can sort itself out, but don't worry, formula is fine too. Even if you are doing both, Shaelyn does get some breastmilk

 

[mrsc81]

She is gorgeous
I couldn't breast feed either, just didn't work for us

 

[Diddums]

My mum had trouble bf and formula fed both my sister and I and we are fine. I don't think there's anything wrong with formula.

I will be upset if I can't bf, not because I'm failing at bf and baby will need formula but just because I've wanted to bf since I've wanted a baby (if that makes sense). I think ladies these days are pressurised into breast is best which stresses a lot of mums out! And no new mum needs the added stress and worry!

Eeee 9.5 hrs until my scan

 

[mrsc81]

I bet your really excited

 

[Diddums]

Yeh very excited. I just want to go to sleep so the time goes faster, but I'm too excited to fall asleep

 

[foquita]

good luck at your scan today katya!

raven, sorry your cycle is messing you about again hope it sorts itself out

rachel, she is absolutely gorgeous! I love her hair are there any supplements you can take to help your supply? this is my joint main worry about becoming a mum, I don't have cow's milk and won't be giving my LO cow's milk so I'm under massive pressure to breastfeed, I'm hoping i'll be able to make it work out because it's the only option! is motherhood everything you imagined it would be?

Caroline, you're next in line to give birth! I can't wait to see pictures of baby claire

Bethany, how is your cycle going? what are you going to do about your doctor, get a new one?

dee, I'm glad your pregnancy is going well and can't wait to virtually meet the baby who broke the girl trend! I'm wondering if I'll follow your lead and have a boy!

everyone else I follow your journals so will just give

 

[foquita]

hope I didn't miss anyone out!

 

[Diddums]

Hello Ladies!!!! Scan went really well Baby wouldn't cooperate at first so I also had to walk around and up and down stairs so baby would move.
