Holy moley, I haven't had this strong of cramps, nor have such heavy bleeding since before I got pg with DS.
I'm hoping this is a good sign that maybe my body is finally just getting back in the groove? Maybe that I was BFing until Feb 1st was having a bigger impact on me than anyone thought it was?
Anyway, like Amanda last month, I'm oddly cheered by a really painful heavy cycle. I'm hoping that that, in combination with spring and the renewal of Easter, is a great signs from the universe for us.
Re: AF's not effing around this time
TTC #2, Operative hysteroscopy March 2011; IVF #1 long lupron protocol April 2011-cancelled due to poor response; IVF #2 flare protocol May 2011=hospitalization due to abdominal hemorrhage during ER and no fert due to MFI issues. Moving onto international adoption from Moldova January 2013!
It's cleansing! Renewal, rebirth... I completely concurr. Sorry about the pain though. Ugh.
I hadn't realized you were BFing as recently as Feb 1st. Not sure how I missed that, but YES, it can have an impact! Also, and here's the good news, many naturopaths believe that there is a fertility spike in the months after stopping BFing. So you're right on track!
