TTC No Period for 13 Months

wendybird08

My DH and I are TTCing, but I have not had a period for 13 Months. I stopped breastfeeding DD 1 month ago and we have been BDing every other day since. I have been going crazy taking pregnancy tests (all BFNs) and finally bought pre-seed and an ovulation kit. My first 3 days using it I got negatives, but on Sunday I began period-like cramps and VERY little bit of spotting.  Yestersday afternoon I got a strong positive OPK and so we BDd and used the pre-seed. Today I am still getting painful cramps and this evening got another strong positive OPK. Are these cramps normal? Could I be getting my period back and be ovulating at the same time? Could it be pregnancy? Is something wrong? Trying not to overanalyze and failing...advice/similar experiences would be so appreciated!

As stated in a previous thread.
Qfp. Op it's against tou to ask if you're pregnant. None of us are able to look inside your uterus to see what is occuring. I recommend taking an hpt and/or seeking medical advise from a medical professional, such as your doctor.

Thanks Coconuts!
We're all dead inside. 2 drive bys asking the same stupid question was too much.  

ETA - THIRD drive by today asking the same stupid question. 

PSA to all of them!  
GO TAKE A TEST - THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW FOR SURE.

What is in the air today?? 

First of all, read the rules of the board. One-off posts like this don't go over well. There are specific threads for certain topics, one being a question thread. Or more appropriately would be TFAS since it's easier to discuss current children/previous pregnancy on that thread.

Secondly, it's against the terms of use to ask if you are pregnant, even in a roundabout way. Most ladies here haven't experienced pregnancy, so it's likely you won't get a good answer.

Third, use a TW when mentioning children or pregnancy on this board.

Fourth, it can take months for your period to regulate after breastfeeding. Also, OPKs just detect an LH surge, it's not 100% guaranteed to tell you when you're ovulating, only temping or an ultrasound can confirm. I'd let your first period happen before thinking too much about any "symptoms" you're having. FWIW, **TW it took two months for my period to return after BFing, and then my first period lasted 16 days and I didn't get another until 72 days later. End TW** Your body needs time to regulate again.

I'm so sorry I posted incorrectly, thank you for showing me where to look to learn how to use the site properly. I read through the TOU and hopefully won't make the same mistake again.
