My cycles seem to be slowly returning postpartum (DC#2 is weaning).
I've had one which I believe was ovulatory based on pain/EWCM/post-ovulation symptoms (yes, I know, only temp rise confirms ovulation, but I'm being woken at least three times a night, so that's out - I've had 2 DCs, and learnt at lot obsessed when TTC them, so am very in tune with my body), but the bleed two weeks later was very minimal. Slightly more than spotting, but only just.
I've had a scan a few days (for other reasons), which showed developing follicles, but a very thin lining (0.13cm I think). I'm now starting to feel like I'm gearing up for ovulation again, but don't really understand how I can be ovulating, when my lining is so clearly incompatible with implantation. I thought the developing egg released hormones which led the womb lining to grow, and that the issue in BF was a luteal phase defect (i.e. too little progesterone). Sooo - I don't understand how the egg can be mature enough to be released, but not produce enough hormone to build a lining.
Can anyone explain this?
