I love seeing this little baby girl - so, so perfect! You have no idea how much hope it gives me - thank you so much! Even my own mother tells me to be happy with the one I have...she doesn't get it. She has 5 children! That's half of my problem, I took my fertility for granted and waited until the bitter end to start. I figured I'm from a large family, no big deal. Infertility, was the furthest thing on my mind. Even after my DD was born - never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have this issue. How naive could I have been?
But I still have hope that it will happen - my husband thinks I am wasting my time..."that ship has sailed" he constantly tells me. I am constantly looking for clues, anything that will help. One thing I did find this weekend on the net that had me thinking., Once I finished BF my DD I noticed that my AF was lighter than before, the same 28 day cycle but lighter. I mentioned this to several RE and their comments were - "that happens sometimes." This condition could be linked to low estrogen or some other hormonal imbalance. Of course I start playing out the scenario if they just gave me a boast of estrogen, I might have my baby...instead of telling me my only hope was IVF...
isabelleSophronia - I may have asked before (I apologize for repeating myself). Did your cycles return to what they were before you had your son? I know that I never returned to pre-baby AF(I know TMI)...so frustrated with myself and past choices....I have cramps now so I know what is coming...
Hi, I got my period exactly 3 months after giving birth to my son, and it was the same as before, although sometimes lighter and it went from 3 fulldays to 2. I never had breakthru bleeding I don't think and I generally had 28-29.5 day cycles. Sometime when my son was 3 (?) I had a 32 day cycle which made me idiotically hopeful but of course started bleeding after that.
As I think I mentioned, I took vitex for a while...it might have been some 6 months and that definitely affected cervical mucous.
btw, I just read that susan boyle's mother was 47 when Susan was born, the last of a pile of kids...Are you taking vitex or anything?
And tell your husband to stop being so effing negative. You may want to take the second-child off the conversational topic table to get that to happen however.
Hi, I hear you about working fulltime...For me, the kids I ended up spending time with were kids I came across in daily life....plus there were pregnant women around too. I think that helps, though it can be painful when you want to be pregnant too.
I BF until 18 months; 7 months exclusively. I never got much from fertility blend....

Pray.
Work with needy children.
Forget.
That's what I did....
Thanks. Did you BF your son?
I'm taking Fertility Blend, which has Vitex in it. Maybe I'm better off taking Vitex by itself.
Interesting to note your cycles changed a little, but still didn't stop you from having your DD.
I hear the thing about working with needy kids. Not sure how I can do that working full-time....but I have heard that helps from others.
