To POAS or not to POAS... WWPALD? (mrsjessicamitchell)

in Parenting after a Loss
Okay ladies, I am really not sure if I should torture myself unnecessarily or just let it go and attribute it to stress...

Here's the deal. Both pre- pregnancy and post- partum, my cycles are 28 days, occasionally 30 days at the most. AF arrived on 7/1 and then again on 7/28. Both times were completely normal AF for me- lasting about 4-5 days. So, in August AF didn't arrive until 8/31 (34 day cycle) and then was light for what AF normally is, not to mention it only lasted 8/31-9/1. Since then I have had some minimal bright red to brown spotting- but only when I wipe, not enough to even warrant a panty liner. DH and I DTD when I could have been Oing, but I'm not charting or temping yet as we are currently NTNP, so I'm basing this assumption off of CM. I have zero PG symptoms besides fatigue, but I feel like I've been tired since B was born, lol! What do you ladies think? Should I go buy PG tests and POAS or chalk it up to my body getting back to "normal" PP?

    I would POAS! Besides the fact that I gotta know, I also gotta know if I should be having beer/wine or not.

    There are a lot of things that can affect the length of your cycle.  That being said, you've had some minimal bleeding but abnormal.  I guess I would POAS to be sure.

    My cycle sounded like yours before I got pregnant again. Mind I only had 2 so I am not the best on judgement. I had no symptoms other than no AF which I knew was rare. I would POAS just to know for sure.

    I always POAS just to know, and am considering the same thing myself (my cycles are all over the place, but I "should" have started by now).

    I know this varies greatly and it depends on if someone is nursing or not too, but I didn't get my first PP period with DD#1 until 13 months. No AF yet this time either and DD#2 is 5 months. Hoping she STAYS away for a while.
