I'm finally admitting it's over. The evil witch AF is most definitely here after a 37-day cycle. Back to my regular name too, as this fruity business from the other thread didn't prove to be good luck for me!
In retrospect, not surprising as we hadn't had sex the entire week around when I must have ovulated (if at all). I was in the midst of a stressful family crisis, and the week before that had a horribly stressful week at work (which probably delayed ovulation in the first place), so it really just wasn't my month.
But to some extent I'm relieved to have now had two periods, as I was starting to wonder whether the first one was just a one-off. DS is still suckling so much at night I was surprised my period came back when it did, and it's good to know now that I've had a proper (although longish) cycle.
After weeks of changing my mind back and forth about it, I gave notice to work today that I won't be returning after my current contract ends on 30 September, so I'm hoping removing the stress of that decision will help me chill out more next month. Once I'm finished with this job I will definitely be a more zen person
- although I haven't quite figured out my next steps yet! I was originally planning to keep working part-time until we had another baby, but am now leaning towards staying home with DS.
In any case DH and I are really going to try to DTD every other day this cycle, once AF is gone. I'm also going to try to lose a few lbs, as that definitely won't hurt. I'm still carrying nearly two extra stone from pregnancy, which is really getting me down...anyone else still dealing with the weight?
Fingers still crossed for you Thinkingof4. Anyone else still waiting for AF or a BFP?
