?'s for those who have had a PP period

I haven't had a PPP yet.  We're hoping it comes soon because we'd like to start TTC again.  I have a history of unexplained infertility/amenorrhea.  I didn't get my period for 2 years after going off BC, and then it was with the help of clomid, ovidrel, and progesterone for 6 cycles before I started cycling on my own (we conceived on our own 3 years after we started trying).  Needless to say, I'm a little psycho about my period.  In all honesty, I would love to be one of those women who starts cycling again several weeks after giving birth (I know that sounds crazy, but not getting a period for so long and having no explanation as to why made me crazier!)

DS is still nursing, and I'm not willing to wean simply to get pregnant, and I realize it may not happen until after he's done nursing.  He's consistently STTN, eating two meals of purees, nurses in the morning and bedtime, and I pump twice at work to send milk to DC.  I'm starting to notice possible signs of fertility returning, so I have a few questions:

1)  Did you have signs/symptoms that your period was going to start, or did it surprise you?
2)  Did you have watery CM before your PPP?
3) Did you have cramps before your PPP?
4) Are you still nursing?  
5) If you experienced vaginal dryness after giving birth, did it disappear long before your PPP?
6) Did you find yourself enjoying sex more (wanting to DTD more often) before your PPP?
7) If you are having regular cycles, how long did it take to get regular?
8) Did you feel pinching in the vicinity of your ovaries before your PPP?

TIA!

    1)  My only sign was a light pink spotting.
    2)  No
    3) No cramping and still none. I used to have it so bad before I got pregnant.
    4) No 
    5) Yes-no problems with dryness at all.
    6) I find I enjoy sex more than before the baby.
    7) Since I got my first period they have been consistantly regular from 25-28 days.
    8) No pinching in my ovaries.

    1)  Did you have signs/symptoms that your period was going to start, or did it surprise you?  I had some cramping a few days before it began.  This is not typical for me, I usually only had some cramping on the first day.
     
    2)  Did you have watery CM before your PPP?  Yes, about 2 weeks prior.
     
    3) Did you have cramps before your PPP? Yes, as I mentioned in question 1.
     
    4) Are you still nursing?  Yes.
     
    5) If you experienced vaginal dryness after giving birth, did it disappear long before your PPP?  Only just before AF returned.
     
    6) Did you find yourself enjoying sex more to DTD more often) before your PPP?  Not really, LOL.
     
    7) If you are having regular cycles, how long did it take to get regular? I am only on my second cycle and so far it has been regular (but my flow is different).
     
    8) Did you feel pinching in the vicinity of your ovaries before your PPP? No

    TIA!
