AF and BFing

in Parenting after a Loss

All this talk about poas has me wondering... where is AF??  As you can see from my ticker, it's been 7 months.  And no AF.  I did take a test at the beginning of January and it- obviously- was negative. 

Who else still hasn't had AF that's BFing?  Not that I'm complaining, but it's nice to have that reassurance once a month, you know?  :P

    I still haven't got it.  Ironically, I actually want to get it so we can start trying for #2 this summer.  My concern is that i'm not going to until I stop Bfing.  I know that there are quite a few women that have to wean before becoming fertile again. :(

    Unfortunately I only got a 5 month break.  AF returned about 2 weeks ago.

    DS is almost 4 m.o. and I only got it once (I think).  I say that because I got Mirena put in at the beginning of January and had major, AF-type bleeding the following week for 9 days. I don't know if it was from the insertion of Mirena or if it was AF. 

    There have been no signs of her since, but I am always paranoid that I am actually PG and Mirena failed.  But then I remember that you actually have to have sex in order to be pregnant and I feel much better.  Or is it worse?!

    I just had my 2nd pp AF. The first one was just a "warning" - like....I'm just popping thru to let you know I'll be stopping by next month! hehe

    So yep - it took 8 months for AF to really show up.

    Still no AF for me and that's just fine.  I got an IUD so there is no chance that I'm pregnant.

    I told DH I would love to BF and keep AF away.  Then, when AF shows up get my IUD out, get pg again, and no more AF for another 2 years while pg and BFing....rinse and repeat.  It would be so sweet to not have AF for like 6 more years :)

    Same here - I haven't. ?Jenna is 7 months and we want two close together. ?I really don't want to stop just to get pg - we are gonna give it a little more time so I hope I don't have to make that decision.?
