I got AF back today!

Nineteen months! We're not ready to TTC yet, but I'm ready to get my hormones back on track and moving in that direction in the next year or so. I've always had insanely long cycles (55-60 day average) so I'm not surprised it stayed away this long with BF. But I'm SO FREAKING EXCITED to start charting again. And I'm very pleased to see that I still know my body, because even though my symptoms have been subtle, I knew my body was trying to have a real cycle again. I take a strange pleasure in obsessively tracking this, probably because I've been told by lots of people, doctors included, that I need to be on medication because I'm "not normal." I am too, just not your definition of normal!

My new year's resolution to get my body in a good pre-baby-making place is coming along nicely.

Exciting!!! I know how fun/addictive it is to chart, lol. Even when I stopped charting I still couldn't help noticing everything. I hope your body gets back to normal (for you).

Oddly, I am jealous! I don't want to see AF again per say but I do want to feel normal and as I have said, we are still BF'ing full force but in spirit, I'd like to wrap things up over here.

AND...

Would't that be 28/29 months? That's what I'm rockin since I got pregnant in August 2009.

28 months for me! I was going nuts! I never thought I'd miss her.

Congrats! Oddly jealous the other way since I always got mine back within few months and each of my kids were EBF.

That is exciting. I don't miss it at all, but it is weird never having it. I feel anxious about it if I over think it. I have never charted or any of that stuff but you make even that sound exciting. Maybe I will just for kicks if AF ever returns.
Plus I'll be able to whip out that Diva cup I ordered a zillion months ago.
I feel like I should say but sounds weird.
Nice work on getting one step closer to being in baby making form though!
