Parenting after a Loss

when did you/will you start charting again?

We decided not to get BC and just use condoms. well AF decided to show her face today( don't even get me started on how annoyed i am at that since i EBF)
so i guess my question is how reliable are my cycle going to be so I can chart and use that as BC option?

Re: when did you/will you start charting again?

  • I would guess that your cycles are going to be kinda wacky. I got Mirena, but I know you guys want to try agian soon. Good Luck Viv :)  Sorry I wasn't more help.

  • I've been charting since my second AF and my cycles have been kind of whacked out.  But DH and I are just being really conservative with when we have sex, which isn't very fun for either of us right now but once we get a grasp on what my cycles are going to be like then we can start having more fun.

  • charting with temps will be difficult until your LO is STTN... 

    it will probably take one to two cycles to get regular, but all women are different about this.

  • My cycle returned at eight weeks and was regular immediately, but I couldn't chart because I never get more than three hours' sleep at a time.  If I had been able to chart, I probably wouldn't be KU now!
  • What a bummer!  AF came back for me right around 6 months and just finished the second one.  It was only a few days longer than my normal, including O date.  This was a similar pattern I had after the miscarriages that were in the 10-12 week range.  Temp seemed pretty reliable.  CM and cervix did not and I was afraid we had an ooops!
