Still no period?

misssurly

I'm still nursing LO and did have an IUD in for about 6 months (it's been out for a few months now) but still haven't had my period. Anyone else in this boat? Just wondering since we are talking about TTC but it's difficult to chart without my period. I swear I had PMS today though, maybe it's about to make it's debut after a 2 year hiatus - I'm more than a little nervous it might be a doozy

My period returned in January.  It was no big deal.  Then it skipped February.  In March I had the worst crazy insane awful no good very bad PMS of all eternity.  And the period lasted for a full week.  LAME.  We'll see about April, which *should* be around Wednesday, but I don't feel PMSy in the least. 

Not that that's exactly what you asked, but I guess I felt compelled to whine for a minute.  

I have been temping and using FF, since we want to start TTC in June (after my half marathon), and I want to try shettles for a girl (I know, I know, but a girl can hope, can't she?).  This month, around CD 15, my temp jumped for 3 days...and then it went back down.  I didn't temp while I was on vacay, but today it was back up.  I guess the moral of the story is that since having the baby and bfing, my cycle is wacko.

I thought I might have started my period for the first time last week, but I'm not sure that was it. I had two days of light spotting and then a few hours of extremely light flow and that was it.  I kind of expected my first one to be a doozy, too.  I marked it in FF so it started me at CD1, but I'm still not sure that was it.  I started temping just to see what's going on but so far my temps are kind of out of whack.

After almost 2 years I got my period the day before my daughter's 1st birthday.

No flaming here : )... I read the book, too : ).  Unfortunately at 35 years old now I don't think I am going to have the patience to do it!  But, I also did some Medline research and found no evidence that it is actually proven to work, so I guess it's ok : ).  But, GL! 

I had to look up the Shettles Method because I'd never heard of it. Supposedly, marijuana use by the male partner makes the Y sperm go too quickly and tire out before reaching the egg, so there's that method, too. If it's legal where you live

Ha!!!  That's funny.  Haven't heard that one before.  I told DH tonight that he should start bicycling again, b/c apparently that lowers sperm count and favors female sperm b/c they are stronger.  He said no.  My hope is that my old age will make for "hostile" cervical fluid : ).

There you go! Cycling, pot use, old age... It'll be impossible to have a boy next time!

I haven't had AF either. I am still nursing on demand when I'm at home, and pumping once a day at work. With DS I didn't get AF back until I stopped pumping (at 12 months).  GL.

We did the Shettles method, it's how we got DD. I was charting. Here's what we did:

1. DH's family pretty much only makes boys. All his siblings only have boys, and he only has 1 sister out of the 6 of them. I figured (based on having read Shettles' book) that DH's family has really high sperm counts- so we set about lowering DH's. (Hot baths, lots of taking care of himself, lots of sex)

2. I used OPKs and we *stopped* having sex when I got a positive one. 

3. I ate lots of pineapple. I'm not sure whether or not it helped with implantation, but I thought it did. 

I did also do my own research on Fertility friend. I have a blog post about it here.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but it's not going to hurt anything to try.
